I did a good bit of transferring this week, and am up to July 2020 so I had to take a look back to see what might be a favorite.

I think I'll point to What's In a Word? to which I added a chapter when I came across a similarly themed post: https://squidgeworld.org/works/38170/chapters/82198

It's not a roadblock but I have found that I have on a number of occasions written about the same theme at a different point in time. Rather than creating new posts for these, if I can recall or retrieve the earlier posts, I just add them as a chapter. It's not always that easy to find the earlier posts! There's at least twice recently when I'm positive I've written about a topic before but can't seem to find it (either on SQW or in my DW account).

I also posted my new meta this week, which was a response to a post about gen fic growing at AO3.

Yes ...

About the second or third time I have to answer the same question, I usually write up a detailed post and save that to my Memories file so that in the future I can just refer people to that one. It saves a lot of time. And I developed that habit because I used to repeat myself more, which wastes time.
