I secretly judge everyone, who still comments on my early fics from 7 years ago and praises them as the greatest thing ever. Which they are not. They are full of clichés, one even features an obvious MarySue and let's not even start about the OOCnes... I once mentioned I might delete them, but several readers asked me not to. And since I hate it myself, if a fanfic I wanted to reread just disappears suddenly, I didn't. I don't trust anyone's taste who tells me, those old stories were good. I'm not one of those insecure authors, who don't see their qualities. My new stuff is pretty good. But that old shit? Fuck, grow some taste, people...
TL;DR - Thank you for that secret. I don't feel alone anymore.
Btw, have you ever gotten a negative review? Maybe more people would criticize your fanfic honestly, if someone made a start. You might consider getting a second account or something, to call you out on your own bs...
