Ahhh, thank you so much! I'm in love with the aesthetic, too, we lost so much with the move to visual minimalism 😅 Congrats on publishing your site, too! And you should definitely create an archive, too. It's really nice to have a space that's just "for you" and make choices based only on what seems cool and fun, without needing to take anything else into consideration ;D
100% post your drabbles to AO3, because I've posted mine and it felt really good! I even posted my teeny-tiny up-to-500-characters Mastodrabbles and got some amazing comments on them from other Murderbot Diaries fans. At the same time, I get it; there are some things that my brain just wants to be ephemeral and not a "real" fic, like the Starship Iris Matrix AU I threw on Tumblr. Personal archives are great for that ^^
And thank you also for the congrats! <3 Duck Prints Press is a publishing press specifically catering to fanfic writers, so I do recommend it if you're interested in putting some original fiction out into the world. There's also Ofic Mag, which I haven't submitted any fiction to but I published a non-fiction essay with them last year about my fandom 'origin story'. And they're cool to know about even if you don't want to submit!
