in a haze of disgruntlement i sat and read through some old docs where i was working on fanfic (and oh christ, i have to get all my shit off google docs, i have no idea how i’m going to do that and keep it in any way coherent…)

and I was like oh! i should post some ancient outtakes from my various Unfinished Epics of Elder Days!

… it’s so disorganized that I genuinely don’t know which parts are published or not. So like. I could post some primo unused material from various of my works of heartbreaking genius, or more likely I’ll wind up just posting excerpts of shit I’ve long-ago published and you’re all like… yes and? 

so. Bah. I am better than I was, my shit is more organized than it was. A little bit.

You know I'm going to be there for anything Bucky related, regardless if I've read it before or not :)

I was thinking, like maybe I should just post some chunks and let people tell me if they're new-to-them or excerpts.
I don't write in drafts, I write in chunks, and nowadays I'm better about pasting all the relevant chunks into a finished document and posting from that, but in the bad old days I would literally be composing in four or five different documents, and scene breaks in a posted piece would actually sometimes be indicating sections from wildly different working documents. I've never been so bad as to edit directly in the AO3 window, but I have in the past been pretty careless about having an offline clean draft. So I genuinely don't know what I've posted and what I haven't, and especially in the epics when they got kind of sprawly, I was assembling those out of big chunks I wrote in vastly different places.
And I definitely had huge sidebars that never went anywhere so they never got included, but some of them are significant works of their own. That people might like! But they're fragmentary, so.
I dunno, man. I need a curator-of-me to help me sort this out.

I don't know how much time/energy I'll have to devote to it, but I'll give it a shot, should you decide to post more bits and bobs.
