Sooo, in one of those, "that's not the project I should be working on but it isn't it shiny?" moments that occur when you still haven't done the dishes or the laundry, etc. I started to transfer all of my Lord of the Rings drabbles and fixed-length ficlets to AO3. That being not sufficiently distracting, I decided to take advantage of the archives features and arrange them, as much as possible, into chronological order according to Tolkien. In honor of his birthday or something. Besides, I'd already linked a bunch of things chronologically way long ago and it was easy to start that way.

117 drabbles and droubbles, etc. later, I finally reached the end of the stuff I'd already put kind of in order. So I clicked on my "lord of the rings" tab and worked back to figure out how much farther I've got to go.

I'm at skip=175.

Now, I grant you, a good many of those entries aren't drabbles. But even if only half of them are, that's... that's... *headdesk*

And I haven't even decided whether to interfile the longer bits and pieces.

Or what I'm going to do with the AU bits and bobs.

Or...

hmm, the laundry and dishes are looking better all the time!

That's quite a project! It will be so satisfying when finished.

Darn that laundry. Where does it all come from?

It may take a while! But I feel like websites keep vanishing, so its best to archive in more than one place.

You're so organized. I was proud of myself for managing to sort by genre. *laugh*

You will feel so accomplished when you are done! It took me WEEKS (granted, not all always of consistent work, but still) to get my fic archive completed, and now it's so shiny and it makes me ever so happy! :)

Right. Keep telling me that...

Gosh, but there are a lot of words!

Exactly what I think whenever I try to write these days. *grins*

Dedication. That's what it takes. Right?

Keep telling yourself "Backups GOOOOOD... Organization GOOOOD... Having stuff all neat and shiny and labelled GOOOD..."

(The fact that even a long elaborate organizy project with your fiction is more fun than laundry and dishes goes without saying)

Backups very good. Too bad my house looks much the way it did at the beginning of my vacation. (unless you look inside the freezer, where everything is All New.)
