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?

Echoing the replies above. Import makes things so much easier and faster, and I kind of consider Ao3 to be a 'Best of'. Tend to post the older stuff I'm still proud of, current stuff for fledgling fandoms, and a few extremely rare fandom.

It's actually kind of interesting, things that might not get any comments or response on DW or Tumblr will get tonnes over on Ao3, and vice versa.
