Opinions, again

I'm trying to decide which of my older fics to import over at Archive of Our Own (for any interested parties, my profile is here). Because I have quite a few older fics--mostly either Harry Potter or Firefly, and I don't have the time to go back and edit them all and shape them up. So I'm torn between my pride (which is worried that they're sub-par and doesn't want anyone else to see them) and my preservation instinct (which desperately wants all of my fic in one place. This is the part that wants me to archive all of my dozens of crossover ficlets there, too).

Any thoughts? What are y'all doing in reference to your older works?

Oh, and in case anybody's interested in glancing over my older stuff (in the interest of locating everything I've written lately in its correct historical context), it's all here

Why is conflicted not a mood option? Or torn? I'm using horny not because I am--I'm not--but because it's hilarious. I love my moodtheme.

Well, you could always create an account for your sub-par fic, I guess. I know it's not all in one place, but I know that for this one site, I kept all my old fics on this one account and moved the ones that I liked onto another. I wrote for Harry Potter mostly ages 11-14, so some of my fics are bad

Also, that moodtheme is hilarious! But I know what you mean about LJ not having some moods that they should. I usually pic a moodtheme pic that works, and then put what I want to put in the box next to it. Silly LJ!

True, although it was written under the same name, so that might cause some confusion.

Thankfully, my fics between the ages of 13 and 17 (the beginning of my fandom days) have sort of disappeared into the voice thank God. And my HP fics aren't bad, really, and I'm not necessarily embarassed by them, but I don't know if I want to be known for them.
