I went to AO3 and downloaded my 50+ fics halfway through this post, haha. I do have backup copies of my working files, but I always end up tweaking something before posting and it feels nice to have an epub copy of the "final" version. Like this is it! Final version.
Storing is one thing, organising is another... A friend found an old hard drive recently and started talking to me about all the old SGA fanvids she rediscovered. For my stuff, I definitely don't want to lose anything I made, but for things I like... maybe it's okay if some stories and memories disappear? But I'm not good at re-reading, people who do more of that might make a different decision. Saving what you personally care about definitely makes sense.
