Put your old fics on AO3!

Yes, those 10, 15 year old fics you posted to Livejournal back in the day. I want them - which means others do, too!

In fact, all your fanworks! This is what marchmetamatterschallenge is all about each year, getting more people to back up their meta to AO3.

There may be some interest in this post about what kinds of fic tended to get backed up to AO3 -- meaning there's a lot missing -- and also the problems with trying to find it.
