This has been ...an enlightening project. I have been going through what I have written in various fictive worlds and, in those cases where several stories exist in the same world, have been loading them into a organizational tool for writing projects, primarily novels, called yWriter5. ( http://www.spacejock.com/yWriter5.html if anyone is curious)

While I do not, at present, have plans of writing an actual novel, I find that loading each story as a chapter and then pulling out characters, locations, etc into the project organization tabs has been helpful. I have information available to me that is very useful in writing additional stories and, more often, ironing out inconsistencies (usually multiple names for a given character >.< ). I also find it handy for flipping through uncompleted stories and rough drafts without loading numerous different files to easily return to something when inspiration strikes. Others mileage will, of course, vary.

In any case, mostly organization at present, though dusting off a few odd gems. *wades back into the files*
