I'm skipping the discussion starter, but I find it worth mentioning that what kicked my butt into coding my first site (this decade =p) was AO3 DDoS in early July 2023, which pushed me to cross-post all my writing on my own archive for these moments when AO3 is not accessible.
That's extremely smart (and AO3 has been having some more problems with slowness and errors lately...) At some point early this year, I think it was, AO3 was down for a bit (can't remember if it was planned or unplanned) and I took great pleasure in reading a fic on a friend's personal archive and leaving a comment there xD
Seconding (or thirding?) the comments about how awesome your friendship bracelets archive is! It's amazing that you've made so many over the years! I've never made anything more complex than a three-strand plaited one but I would love to try some of those designs.
