Reepicheep was awesome! I think your younger self had her priorities right.

Most of my early writing has disappeared, but I do remember one story from when I was eight, which was a blatant rip off of Enid Blyton's Magic Faraway Tree series except there were no icky boys in it. It was a grand total of half a page long, but it sticks in mind because it was the first story I ever wrote on my own, outside of school.
