I have an Archive of Our Own account. I tested it out and it's easy as pie to just plonk all my ff.net/lj stories right in. But should I? My writing has changed a heck of a lot over time.

Question: Should I archive everything or just the stuff I feel most comfortable with now? How are people going about using the site?

I'd post only what you still feel good about. But I don't have an account there. So IDK.

Lol, thanks for the opinion. :)

Why yes, I am helpful...But I will say that when I get around to posting all mine, I'm not going to post the long Enterprise fic that I think kinda sucks nowadays (and I wouldn't write).

LOL. I know how you feel. Yet I do wonder. Some of the stuff I no longer like, actually have the most hits on ff.net. :P

*wanders by* From a reader's perspective, I know I have tons of things in tons of fandoms I'd love to reread for old time's sake that are objectively pretty bad and whose authors are probably embarrassed by them now. You could always just tag with 'juvenilia' or "I was young OK?!" or something if you do decide to put up older stuff.

Yeah I wondered about that. Maybe I can make a silly tag like you say. :)

Thanks!
