There was a discussion on metafandom yesterday about moving really old stories over, and whether people should put a note on them saying, "you know, this was written 12 years ago... I did actually improve!" :D
But really, people still like a lot of those stories (I recognised the poster's fic handle from back-in-the-day. I hope you can rescue your stuff easily!
I was lucky. My site had been donw for months but recently came back long enough for me to move some of my work off. I'm re-editing it and putting it up as I get it.
People still email/message me about my x-men fic, none of which is newer than 5 years, so I know people are still reading it. I try and put dates on my fic so people can see it's older/younger etc. And I can too, since I often lose my work over the years.
