Congratulations on your achievement of concluding the AO3 mirroring! This is one process I stopped when I went on vacation and have yet to resume.

I wonder whether I should tag my '96-'99 pieces "juvenilia."

I wouldn't do that. The dates clearly indicate that these are early works, so I find a further tag unnecessary. In fact, the attribute "juvenilia" might cause bias in a reader as to whether he chooses to read the work or not. It might be unfortunate if the reader skips the work and misses a great story.

I don't find my early works embarassing. Some scenes were certainly daring and I wouldn't write them like that today. I'd rather say they are a product and reflection of the time and circumstances they were written in, as are yours. This can be said of every piece of literature that has been written over the centuries.
