Ha ha, yes it is! ^___^ Even the stuff I wrote last year was pretty bad compared to what I'm writing now...it was so different, and the style was only mediocre. But it was a different fandom (Fruits Basket), as well, so that accounts for at least some of the difference! ;)
The biggest change I've seen in myself that I like to count as literary maturity is my shift away from fangirlism (especially yaoi fangirlism!)...I used to write stories because I thought they were hot, now I write them because I think they're interesting! ^^ So self-insertion is becoming more and more obsolete, thankfully! O.O
Mary Sues can be really funny, though. Sometimes I have these ideas for characters....like an alchemist who turns all the liquids in the body to ice! (No, not Iceman! XD) But then I realize I've created a Mary Sue and I think "wow, good thing no one can read my thoughts!" Ha ha ha! It's silly and embarrassing, but totally amusing too.
Ha ha ha, I know, so clearly gay! XD But I've had a fetish for gay men from a very young age! XD Somehow I think anyone who's written in the Pokemon fandom scores major points! Sadly I never tried YuGiOh, though my best friend _acerbitas_ wrote a 16 chapter SetoxJoey when we were sophomores in high school, and I thought it was the end all of great fiction at the time! LOL! She's since deleted it from her ff.net account.
