Haha, it does actually! It's nice to know that other people don't just grow out of this hobby. In my generation, fan fiction is definitely seen as something frivolous that teenaged girls obsessed with boy bands write. Being neither a teenager nor a girl, it makes me a bit self-conscious.
You can choose to do whatever you want with your stories. However, I'd encourage you to give them a re-read rather than just orphan or delete them without checking. I wouldn't call any of my FFn fics "good," but there are a few that I've decided are just too awful to leave floating around the world. But you can't make that call without knowing what's there!
You can also move them to an anonymous collection, which is what I've done. I still want some control over these fics, but I really don't want them showing up on my profile, for example XD
