It's a great thing that I don't have to depend on LJ for my fic fix anymore

I don't know about you guys, but livejournal is being horribly wonky for me. Which is especially frustrating, as I was reading a multi-part fic over there.

But I checked Archive of our Own, and the author has also posted it there! Celebration!

I should probably get on that, backing up all of my fics on AO3. They're promoting that this month. But I'm unsure of what I should put there. My Torchwood stuff and my Harry Potter stuff are all things I'm decently proud of. My unbetaed feel-good drabbles will probably be put up as well, with some minor edits.

My one longer Outsiders fic is weirdly popular on ff.net, but it's over-the-top angsty and I don't even know if I can reread it at this point. And I could just melt under the desk in embarrassment from my Lord of the Rings fanfiction. Written when I was about fourteen. Oh god.

But they are my fics, and I probably should back them up, as a personal history of my time in fandom.

Fourteen.

Archive them...all of them.

I am not archiving my comics work. Yet. Maybe. However, my non comics work came to over 700 drabbles, ficlets, and fics, so I ... think I saved enough?

I know I should. And I'm starting to tinker with AO3, so hopefully it will happen soon. I need to somehow designate my old stuff as old...somehow.... (How did I forget about my comic stuff? One epic story and a handful of scattered drabbles I need to hunt down, and I actually like them all! I am so disorganized.)

And if you're encouraging me to archive my horrible old!fic, then you absolutely have to archive the comic stuff! It's all fantastic! And WHOA you have a lot of fic, which is incredibly awesome.

I think what I want to do is find all the series, all the interconnected drabbles, and get those collected into solid fics...and leave the rest alone. Because the comic journal has close to 1500 fic posts. (Mostly drabbles, mind you, and some reworks/edits/collected versions of previous things)

Thank actually sounds like a great idea. Can't wait to read through it. :D

I may have, um, collected all of your Cerdian/Lian stuff into my crazy Cerdian masterpost (which I'll unlock someday.) You know, if you want an easy list of all those links.

I think I failed to tell you just how HAPPY I was to have someone sharing that 'ship with me.
