"Behind the scenes" achievements
This week and last I've been working on a fannish project of sorts that's strictly personal, which is tidying up my AO3 Subscriptions and 'Marked for Later' list.
After deleting a lot of completed works, fics that had been orphaned still incomplete, and many works and series that hadn't been updated since 2016 or earlier, authors who haven't posted in a fandom I recognise for years, my Subscription list is now down to 5 pages! I did leave a few probably-abandoned things in there for sentimental reasons, but it's so much more coherent and useful now.
Similarly, I cleared out page after page of things marked for later! Gone are the fics I had actually already read (sometimes I mark for later if I intend to come back and comment), and works that are probably abandoned (I often mark for later if a WIP has an interesting premise but only 1-2 chapters, as an easy way to figure out if it's going to continue and be worth reading), and things I've lost interest in for one reason or another (mostly long-running series or WIPs that had lost focus and turned into endless non-plot, or fics that now include a pairing I dislike). I'm left with a much more reasonable 7 pages of marked works, and I'm trying to read at least once a week in order to keep whittling it down.
My next project will be another round of bookmark edits, I suspect.
So.... How many subscriptions or marked-for-later works do you have?

I've got 5 pages of subscriptions. I feel like I can leave them alone for now, but my Marked for Later is at 8 pages and could probably use some cleaning up ... *pokes at pages*

One of these days I'm gonna go back to older fandoms and get my faves into proper bookmarks.

However, only one is a regularly-updated WIP that I read regularly. Two of them are complete and my subscriptions are an easier way of getting marked-for-later (that, uh, I haven't actually read because I forgot about them) and the others are...well, two are probably abandoned and I might as well abandon them also, the other three I plan to read when finished, but I think I've had one notification total from them since I subscribed. (But the most recent updates are this year so I am not giving up hope yet.)
