With all the “fanficition.net stuff is dying” going around again, I am puzzling a dilemma. I’m sure I am not the only one in this case.
As an older fan enjoying a second fandom wind, I actually had an old, wholly separate author name on fanfiction.net, back when I was a mere baby writer. It’s got all of my early mistakes and the limits of having a beta reader only on occasion. However, I’m actually super proud of those few final works I did before other real life made me take a fandom pause.
Of course, I also know I will not be going back to these fandoms and finishing the handful of WIPs, since current fandoms keep me with more plot bunnies than I could handle in one lifetime.
Is it better to create a wholly different Ao3 ID to port these old works of mine to Ao3? Or do I put on my big girl pants and load them all under a pseud (and just make clear the WIPs are on hold indefinitely?)

Everytime I see posts like this I get filled with such profound sadness
Cause you know who has the same brainrot as you? The same unhinged feelings as you after you've read the fic? The person who always wants to scream about the fic with you?
THE PERSON WHO WROTE IT
I never used to leave comments but since I got into the habit of commenting on everything i enjoy it's been incredible. Especially when the author gets back to me about it and we get to have a discussion of what other ideas they had. One writer replied to my comment with a 5 paragraph essay detailing the Floorplan of the building the characters lived in and it was incredible
Anyways this is all to say that if you find a fic that just makes you want to scream from the rooftops, leave a comment saying that to the author and maybe they will join you and you can scream incoherently together

You guys are commenting on the fics you read right? You’re at least leaving kudos on the Astarion smut and the pairs that have less than 20 fics for them too? You’re bookmarking stories you really like that are still being updated and ones that haven’t been touched in over a year right?
You know that even the smallest interactions are like cocaine to fic writers right? You understand how important a string of emoji hearts left behind on chapter at three am is right?? Right????
You’re treating AO3 like a community and not a content factory….right?
