I've uploaded drabbles to AO3, and I'm not sure how I feel about it. On the one hand, VG fandoms need more representation on AO3 in general, and I pretty much feel like more fic is a good thing to that end no matter what! Besides, there are freeform tags for drabbles and ficlets and the like that are easy enough to add, so I kind of feel like it would be easy enough to avoid reading for the people who don't really care to read them (quite aside from the easy-to-see word count bit.) On the other hand, it really does feel a bit weird, both posting them individually (artificial inflation of fic count) and posting them as chapters of something else (they're not even related half the time.) Posting them as a series probably makes the most sense out of the options I've thought of! Still, it can be kind of time consuming. Even if you import them.
So, um, I don't know? I favor archiving on AO3 but I acknowledge it can be a pain!
