Opinions, again

[lirazel]

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.

I'm just glad you don't write Stargate: Atlantis! I am apparently more competitive than I thought, and it's a bummer seeing that there's more activity there than with Buffy on AO3. If you add to the HP tally, at least it won't be listed in the same medium section. Otherwise, I have no opinion.

It's your thang, do whatchoo wanna do!

I've had an account for quite a while and I haven't even started putting anything up - I haven't even edited my profile!

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!

Um, I have no wise words for you, though if it were me I'd hang on to the older ones until I had time to shape them up.

Oh whatever ;) Where is that mini-clip from, out of curiosity?
Btw, I use inappropriate moods all the time on my posts.

Personally, I found that importing my older stuff went pretty quick. I have 20+ older fics, and aside from the big 17 chapter thing of death, I didn't find tagging and checking the formatting on everything too time-consuming. The big fic of death I hate anyway so I'm not bothering. IT'S THERE IF PEOPLE REALLY WANT IT. ;)

ETA: my truly crappy old stuff is under another penname, but I will probably import it eventually, and I'm not going to try to revise or anything. It is what it is.
