In regard to your question, I have a folder with everything I've written and then I make sub-folders in that for the specific fandom and/or pairing, keeping the documents in their respective folders.

Ahh, organizing by pairing is popular it seems! I used to do it by fandom and then story, if it had multiple parts, and then lengths drabble/ficlet/oneshots etc. I didn't do that or even anything vaguely like organize when I got my new computer. Regretting it now!

andd..honestly, I've got a fandom folder in which is a ST folder in which are several folders labeled by pairings/characters. and if the pairings earns too many .docs I put a "completed" folder within that It keeps things somewhat organized --but if you only write one pairing it might be problematic *shrug*

That sounds efficient. Well, I do have some different pairing fics sitting around but not enough to constitute their own folder. Thanks for sharing!

For organizing my folders usually go like this>
[Document Nonsense]>[Writing]>[Fanfiction]>[StarTrek]> [WorksinProgress][Worksposted][Drabbles][Ideas][Malarky]
Italics are subfolders in the one folder, arrows are subfolders within. I tend to put brackets around folder titles that I want at the top all the time. Obviously I have a lot more subfolders. Like Document Nonsense has, school, applications, publishing, brochures, work, etc.

Wowie kaplowie, you've got waaaaay more than I do. Mine is the default Documents folder, which has everything in progress /needing to be finished/posted/etc, and then a folder named "Finished Stories" for my finished fics (obvs). Normally I am better about it but for some reason I have very much lacked on that. Oh, I also have a "School Stuff" folder plus an "Uh" folder that has all the stuff I don't think I'll finish in it, haha.

Yeah. All of my friends growing up were computer geniuses. I picked up their organizational skills in that department. Which is nice, and also random. You should see our audio and video files (Me is music NERD). I think I have..what...um...1700Gigs of stuff on hrrm. 3 laptops. 3 internal HDs and 2 external ones. OH MY GOD I SOUND CRAZY. *Derp*
Also school as a literature major was crazy-sauce. With all the projects and papers I had going I subfoldered like crazy.

I just name my fics something not especially clever and dump them in the right folder - I have a writing folder, which has a fanfic folder in it, which has a folder for each of my fandoms.

Hahaha, mine are named so terrible. I have like a ton named 'idkwat' I think I am up 'idkwat8' now. Then some I name like 'gonnagittabrandnewday' which is irrelevant to everything. Or like that Han/McCoy one: 'hansaysdomccoykids.' I am whacked.

Uum. My fics are organized by; 'in progress' and 'finished'. Within 'finished' I have two subfolders: 'keep' (aka the ones I can stand to reread, or the more recent ones) and 'toss' (which is the old ones that I cringe at, but can't bear to delete).
I should probably have subfolders in my 'in progress' folder, but eh.
BTW, are you crossposting your Ship Wars fics to fic comms like kirk_mccoy? I'm undecided whether or not to do that myself.
