...and thought, "I don't even remember writing that?" A lot of my posts were from high school. My way of thinking as well as my writing style have changed so much. I don't even recognize the voice/tone/intent in a lot of my old posts. Looking back, I noticed I used to be a lot more silly and optimistic  |

| I was a lot more spazzy and sexually frustrated over Aladdin. Only the former has changed |

I do forget that I've written things, but I don't think I've changed all that much on this board.
Now, my AML posts from 10-11 years ago... boy was I naive back then!

Yeah, even in the last year!
I was in 8th grade I think when I came here. (I'm now a sophomore in college.) I was silly and wrote fics semi-regularly, LOVED joking around with Hourglass and Husse and, eventually, IRideAladdinsCarpet. And I used to ogle over my silly 8th grade boyfriend
And anything involving sexuality was scary. Even like last year I was weirded out by mature Disney fiction. Now, it doesn't bother me so much when tastefully done. It can actually be quite lovely! (...if you stop trying to imagine it in a rated G family film lol)
Some threads I started too, looking back I'm like, "I don't remember ever wondering this."

I don't have anywhere near enough posts here to not remember what I wrote, but just wanted to say that

What is AML? I automatically thought of "Ash and Misty Love" |

Oh, sorry, the Aladdin Mailing List. It's a Yahoo group.

That reminds me of a fic I saw a while ago. I was like "...you know, I use to joke about what would happen here if the guards never showed up, but I didn't think it would actually happen" |

Yeah, in high school I used to think lemon fan fiction was "bad morals" too. I would get so mad if people wrote Disney characters that way, and I thought they were perverts. Now, I don't think so at all. I'm perfectly fine with it.
It's odd that I ever thought it was perverted in high school, because when I was about 10 years old I KNEW Aladdin and Jasmine were shagging It's funny that it's okay to think about it, but not okay to write about it. It's also funny that a 10 year old has a better grasp of reality than a high schooler. I guess it's because the older we grow, the more conditioned we become to society's standards. |
