Wow! That's so impressive, but I definitely knew it. I've been all over your archive. I do love having the updates in my inbox, though. It gives me a chance to reread. :)

One can do a mass upload? Oh my goodness, I did not know! (Heck, I only discovered how wonderful The Archive really is in mid-2012; no wonder I'm clueless.) Thank you for that tutorial!

Revelations, 51,459 (and it'll be longer once I finish it, which will be SOON) *quiet little squees of joy*

This archives sort of stuff fascinates me, because I often find myself intrigued by the subterranean connections among fictional universes and their fandoms. An action, writer or show creator often creates the breadcrumb trails that brings people from one story to another, but shared fandoms and fics are another factor. Archives of my favorites fanfic authors suck me in: oh, she wrote on *this* that I love, and *that* that I loved but forgot, and wait, how could anyone love *that* tedious mess?? And so this will make me go spelunking again through your past stories....

I am so very ecstatically happy to read that you're going to finish Revelations--I think I'm even more thrilled than if GRR Martin suddenly out of nowhere actually finished and released The Winds of Winter. (I'd insanely be more thrilled if Jim Rigney unexpectedly popped back to life and rewrote the the last three The Wheel of Time so that they actually sound and feel like his writing, but that's so even more highly unlikely than RR finishing the next book sometime this year). (oh, and I do think Sanderson did a respectably good job as well he should have with Harriet supervising, but it totally wasn't Jim, and he never got Matt right). Whoops. Please excuse my babbling.

That's super helpful--I get intimidated by archiving all the things and never end up archiving anything. Concrete steps for batch processing = much less mentally taxing! \o/ ty!

Also, omg you're prolific. I mean, I know that, but whew. *grins*
