Sucks that "Prince of Broken Memories" is discontinued, but I get it, and as you said, a lot of good came out of it!
Back in my Henry Stickmin fandom days, I was obsessed with stickvin and writing a fanfic with an original idea. Eventually, I came up with the idea of a purple string au and decided I'd write a fanfic for stickvin based on it.
The thing was, it was disorganized, I added a bunch of ocs I made on the spot with cluttered lore, and before I was even halfway done with the first fic I had plans for two sequel fics that'd branch of into different paths with one sequel fic being canon depending on what the readers picked in the ending of the first fic.
Yea, it was too ambitious for what was only my second fanfic and I stopped at 14 chapters.
But even when I quit writing it, I still look at it with love and happiness for a multitude of reasons.
My second fanfic was more grounded, better written, less carried by canon, I wrote more of it than my first fanfic, I could go on and on!

My second fanfic wasn’t great by any means, but it was a large improvement over the atrocity of my first fanfic!
I have a lot of love for it, it’s still up on my wattpad account to this day!
Maybe someday, when I’m more experienced in writing, and if I feel like it, I can return to it and rewrite it, finishing at least the first part of it to give it closure and make it better than it was before.
For now, I’ll look back at it with appreciation and love, as I move on and continue to write fanfic and engage with my fandoms, working at my own pace.
Edit: Can't wait to see all the other things you'll post in the future!💛
