Why did this AO3 thing have to happen during the month I was going to totally lock down and focus only on original fic? Getting my past work available again has given some of it a second change to get some eyeballs on it, and as someone who got trampled by the HR taking off and the AI flood, I'd like to take this chance.
For some of my missing fic, I realized I'd had it beta'd and that there are drafts on Gdrive. I was able to pull those, re-edit them, and get them up. There is currently only 1 fic that is MIA where I am sad about it. Sucks, but pretty much all the projects I care about are safe. They aren't all back up. Some of the longer fic, I might tackle the formatting and everything next week.
I just have not been able to focus on my original projects while this mess was haunting me. It's not all cleaned up, but it's tamed.
Sorting through all my old WIPs and fandoms and things has also been very scattering, but also motivating. Some of this is very important to me. I want to keep building on this. So far I feel like everything I've ever accomplished has just not been building toward anything. It all just sinks, sometimes without a splash. Need to change that.

...but sucky that it came at a time where it interfered with the existing plan.
Also glad it's been a motivating experience.
