I am idly wondering if it would be worthwhile to crosspost all my fanfic to AO3. And by "all my fanfic," I really do mean ALL my fanfic. Which is... over two hundred stories, several of which are multi-chapter, dating back to April 2002. That would be a VERY BIG undertaking, best done in small pieces. Also, while I wouldn't pull a story from the internet, there are some things I've written that I am perfectly happy to have languish in obscurity on my journal, rather than crosspost them anywhere more public. And it's not like I haven't already bashed LJ/DW into acting like a faux-archive in some ways.

On the other hand, making a journaling site act like an archive does require extra work -- I have to actively remember to update my directory posts -- and that's a continuing work cost whereas backlog uploading to AO3 would be a one-time work cost.

...

I dunno, anybody have an opinion?

AO3 can import from LJ/DW, though in my case it always keeps the metadata, which then needs to be stripped out, but I found it worthwhile to move a lot of my stories over. I like that there is no index to maintain, and in some fandoms it is a lot more active than LJ/DW right now.
