Dear people-who-delete-their-journals,

Why do you have to do this to me? Why can't you just flock the whole thing except for your fic? WHY DO YOU TAKE THE PRETTY FIC AWAY FROM ME?

Heartbrokenly yours,

Lauren


Dear readers,

I make this promise to you: I won't delete any of my fic unless it's necessary because I'm turning it into something to publish (which probably won't happen, because I don't tend to write things it's easy to file the serial numbers off of). I will not cause you this deep existential distress I am currently feeling.

Love and hugs and kisses,

Lauren

:((((((

I'm sorry about the existential crisis! And I support the idea of you never deleting your lj. NEVER LEAVE ME!

Ugh, I hate this, too. And I know I shouldn't, because entitled much? It's their journal. But I can't help it. Fic, and especially journals that had commentfic memes or large fandom discussions or great meta, I just get so upset when they're gone.

Oh my gosh! I hate it when people suddenly decide to do that. I mean, I completely understand that it's their decision but... THE FIC.

I thankfully have never come across this problem (though I am leaning towards staying clear of unfinished pieces because MY HEART cannot withstand the wait (I found an Enchanted AU on fanfic and lordy... there hasn't been an update in months!))

In other news:

Dearest, Darlingest You:

YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO LEAVE ME!

Sincerely,

Kelsey

I am SO WITH YOU. I just. Ugh. Someone on my flist private-locked everything and asked us all to please not share any copies of hir fic that we might have, and I was all, "But I was going to rec that! Next week! :("

Like you say, entitled, and yet I feel that once it is on the internet it should be forever. :P

At times this might be my life's greatest sorrow.

In other news, my life probably isn't too bad.

Staaaaaay!

That definitely sucks. And the wayback machine doesn't work good with LJ.
I'm working so long on my rec post that another site did go and not come back. It really sucks to loose the stories.
It's better when the authors are in the archives too - some will hopefully survive.
