Do I post even the mediocre ones on rarity grounds, or let them lie in the dark forever?
I'd post them, if only because over the years I've had people give me comments and "likes" on pieces that I thought were mediocre, if not downright substandard. And when I do post something, then have it removed because I think it's bad, I invariably get someone eventually saying, "Hey, I liked this! Why did you delete it?" This even happened on my very very first unfinished fic, which was an unfinished FFVI Mary Sue epic that eventually would've involved Kefka being brought back to life as a decent guy. I had someone tell me after the fact that he'd enjoyed it, and that he'd actually saved it off of the website that I'd had it deleted from!
