Question for the Wise Flist

alisanneSo I had a lovely email a couple of days ago from someone asking for up to date, working links for my older fics (2006/2007). That made me go back and look at my yearly fic wrap ups for those years to see why they weren't working.
Which is how I discovered that the stories I posted to the primary archive I used to use, Cipher, are no longer there. I mean I knew it was closed to new submissions, but I just thought the old stories would, I dunno, still be there, somehow? *sigh*
Anyway, between that and the fact that for some unknown reason, when I first started posting my stuff to LJ, I only posted to communities and not in my own journal (the opposite of what I do now, in fact), I have been slowly going back and reposting my older stories in my IJ. I'm in May of 2006 at the moment. It's been sloooow.
I'm still not sure what to do about everything else though, hence the reason for this post. The multi-chaptered fics that are up in archives like The Hex Files are okay, but I have stories scattered all over the place and I'm lazy.
I have been toying with the idea of loading everything to AO3, but OMG, what an undertaking THAT will be and did I mention that I'm lazy? Gah!
Thoughts? Suggestions?
