8th grade me was onto something
so i was scrolling through ye olde google drive and gazing upon the horrors i created in middle school and there was in fact an entire folder dedicated to this totally-not-self-insert-oc-that-was-the-daughter-of-elrond/boromir story that i had started crafting, and while it is atrocious to read now i honestly feel that with workshopping it could be good but it's sooo deeply steeped in 2022 that i just cannot return to it in good conscious
that being said, there was a folder within said folder titled, "Pirate Ship of the Ring," which was basically a sea-faring/pirate AU which wasn't actually that bad and honestly i feel like that has true potential (ESPECIALLY WITH BAGGINSHIELD!!!) and also there was this one Western/Cowboy AU i started making with a dear friend of mine that we both kind of forgot about but that ALSO slaps (at least in my mind's eye) so now i'm wondering if i was actually lowk a creative genius in 8th grade or if i'm just crashing out right now...
