That story has been told over and over again but tonight, I just received an email notification from Fanfiction.net informing me that some blessed soul out there has just favourited a one-shot I wrote after seeing Troy when it first came out in cinemas.
I wrote that page in 2004, dear gentle reader.
Someone out there in this big, mad world has just stumbled upon 857 words I wrote from the shared computer in the spare room of my old family home, some 20 years ago, and favourited it.
Not much remains of that original setup - the homeโs been sold, the family has been halved, the technology has evolved beyond recognition, and even the language has switched to a new one.
I have changed so much since I pressed โpublishโ on that piece that Iโm unsure its author would even recognise me, and yet the fact that I immediately felt the need to come and write about it on here makes me feel like she might.
It just blew my mind, and made my night.
