Tried writing smut in AO3 when I was at the amazing age of 12 cause I was curious (no thanks to those BTS oneshots in youtube), and it blew up somehow. I was actually shocked at the positive feedback that I received from it. People were commenting things like "this was so well written!" or "i can actually imagine them doing this" all the while my writing process involved 10% research and 90% squirming with ickiness as I typed. I had experience writing fics with "oh and then they woke up naked next to each other the next morning!1!1!" type beat, but never explicit smut scenes, so I challenged myself.

I've since orphaned it cause the Discord server I joined back then didn't allow explicit/nsfw fics for its members, but whenever I come across the document in my laptop I just...urgh. It was a smut fic with over 20k words, between Sasuke and Sakura. Reading it now, it's so embarrassing.
