What a good friend! Most of my friends are new to fandom (as in, just started writing fic a couple years ago), so I'm glad to see that someone has some great insight into this!
And you're totally correct. Even if people don't really read my fic anymore (which is fine, it's very old at this point and chillin on a mostly-dead website), people still liked them initially and they still had value to me when they were first written and they still have value to me now. How often do you get perfect time capsules of your younger self, after all? Some of my old old old fics are so wonderfully dated, it's almost charming.
AO3 does an event every April called "april showers" where you "shower" the Archive in you old stuff, so I think I'll post it then. Who knows? Maybe I'll reread it and find some old gems.
