Transcript by OP

[fscom]

I made my first LJ account to join an embarrassing fandom. I’ve been out of that fandom for years, and the comm’s dead to me. I want to delete it, but I posted one fic: a crossover with a fandom I’m not ashamed of, the only one I’m aware of. It was a rushed one-shot, could have been better. That and the old shame fandom are why I won’t orphan it on AO3 or something like that. But some people commented and liked it. And since it’s a rare crossover, I want to give time in case anyone wants to save it. I know the disappointment of deleted fic.

Yea, I kind of feel you. Sometimes I think about going back and deleting my old school (anime) fanfic, but eventually I forget about it. Doubt anyone is going to search that far back to read it anyway, but it isn't hurting anything by existing. (Even if it's terrible.)

It's pretty sweet of you to leave it up just in case someone wants to go back and read it. Since it's a rare fandom, that makes it more likely that someone will.

I may have misunderstood, but it sounds as though you've completely moved on from this fandom/comm, so does that mean you've also moved on from the pseud you used for this fic? I'm guessing that from your desire to delete the account that it's unrelated to your current fannish self.

If there's no connection between your current pseud and this old comm, then why not make a new AO3 account under the old name and link it that way? You can still thoroughly tag it with the fandoms involved, and these days people are more likely to seek fic on site like AO3 than they are on aged LJ comms. You might actually find more interested readers that way, and you can always put a notice up that you're not writing for that fandom/s anymore so you don't get anyone's hopes up. You can even mention that this was once on such-and-such, now-deleted LJ comm back in the day if you think that'll help those readers find it.

Or if there's no connection between you and this old comm/account, then why delete them at all if deletion bothers you? I have several LJ accounts I haven't touched in years (probably the last time was when LJ sent out that "log in or we'll delete inactive accounts!" notice). I just don't think about them, and leaving them up doesn't affect me or my current fandom activity at all.

afaik you can delete your personal LJ account without deleting any community entries posted from that account.

It should be an option that comes up as you delete, you get the chance to specify whether you want all your comm entries, comments etc. deleted along with the account.

So if the fic is posted in a comm separately from the LJ you want to delete, then you should be able to delete the account without deleting the fic.
