Questions about FDAs (First attempt demos)

I've been looking into doing some recordings for maps I've never played before, and I have some questions.

Firstly, is there an agreed on naming convention? I've read through the thread for FDA submissions here, and there was briefly an attempt to sorta standardize with either map-fda-player
(example, aa01-fda-xerenogan , for ancient aliens map 1 by me), or the eight character version (aa01-xer). As the thread goes on though, the names are all over the place with underscores, full names, differing abbreviations, and so on. To keep myself sane, I've started a list of prefixes on a per-wad basis that I source almost exclusively from DSDA. Just trying to be consistent ya' know?

Second, Why FDA for First Attempt Demo as opposed to FAD? Surely this would confuse things with Failed Demo Attempts right? Just curious.

Third, For those of you who do FDAs regularly, how do you have them organized? I have a lmps directory of course, but inside so far I've given the iwads their own directory, but everything else is either a working folder or a zip file named after the contents per wad.

Lastly, For the dedicated thread that FDAs go in; is it better form to make a post for each wad I do as I play them, or do I hold off until I have a group of them and submit them all at once?

I decided to post out here rather than there, as I didn't want to clog up the submission thread.
Looking forward to hear your thoughts. Thanks in advance.

The old DSDA was archiving FDA submissions for a time back around when the thread was started. It stopped and new DSDA doesn't either.

So that thread pretty much just exists as a place to post FDAs if you don't want to post them elsewhere or there's no other logical place, and naming conventions aren't needed at all. Looking at the dates there is a half page of responses in the last six years, so the thread is basically an afterthought right now.

Ah gotcha. That's a shame they stopped. Blind playthroughs are sometimes fun to see.
Thanks for the info.
