Looking back at past writing is both painful and illuminating. I can say, quite honestly, that my earlier works in this fandom occasionally leave me embarrassed, but they remain as a testament to my growth.
I think, maybe, that I've been working backwards. I started with original fiction and then managed to stumble into fan fiction. I am no good with plots or OCs, mostly because (I think, though I could be totally wrong) that I'm a poet by nature. I tend to veer away from concrete things, but I seriously admire anyone who can write plot. Especially long plots - I tend toward the brief. :D
LAS is perhaps one of my most interesting writing experiences. And I'm definitely not surprised that you're still in - you're a great writer! :D
