AO3 and Old Fic

lokiofsassgaardFor anyone following me on AO3, here's what's going on over there:
Last year, I got really depressed, and for idiot reasons, I deleted everything off my account. About 150 fics gone. I don't know why I do this; it's something I've done a few times, and I regret it every time. The nice thing is AO3 sends out emails, so if you do delete something, you get a copy of the thing you deleted.
Unless it's a multi-chapter thing, then you only get the first chapter. Which is annoying as balls, because a few of these things, I cannot find on my hard drive.
So that's what I'm doing. I'm re-uploading everything. I was hesitant to do so, and have been putting it off for a few months, but then I remembered that AO3 sends out those digest emails, so hopefully y'all shouldn't be getting spammed.
I am uploading fic from Hot Fuzz, Spaced, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, and various Sherlock Holmes canons, as well as a few other random bits and pieces here and there. A few new pieces that I never uploaded for one reason or another are also getting thrown in there.
You'll probably be getting emails every day for the next week or so, depending on how long it takes me to get through everything. The multi-chapter stories are the biggest pain to reupload, but I'd like to get as much back as possible.
Also, AO3 doesn't seem to be recognising my back-dating for some reason, so it's going to make my works page look like a mess. It's also sort of spamming the Sherlock and Hot Fuzz tags, for which I apologise. Hopefully AO3 gets this shit sorted soon, because I know when I started toying with uploading old stuff a few months ago, it was working fine. It will only be for a few days, and honestly, I doubt many people will notice.
