I think you should try again. I just got into the "showing other people my writing" thing a year ago, and I learned 2 lessons right away: 1) Writing and getting read is a really good thing, and 2) if I had tried to reason out what I was doing rather than just doing it, I'd still would be dithering with whether or not to post anything.

Also, if you do happen to set up shop on fanfiction.net, I'd be happy to beta-read for you. Either way, good luck!
