+1 I understand it sucks when a fic writer leaves and it especially sucks if they take all their work with them, but they don't owe anyone anything.

Fandom loses stuff all the time anyway, like nothing is forever especially if it's put online and no one saves it. Webhosts go down, people's personal computers explode, shit happens.

Part of creating your own work, and yes this includes fanwork, means having control over what is done with it. I don't understand people who think they have the right to tell ANYONE what they can do with their own work.

And the person/people who was saying that the "community" is SO important seemed to be constantly ignoring the question of someone's personal well being. Like how is someone supposed to keep up fanfic if their job is at stake? Do they expect someone to keep up fanfic and starve to death for it? And yes, losing your job over fanwork can happen, I've seen it happen in relation to porn.

They don't seem to care about the writer's well being, or they tell themselves that the fic being up couldn't possibly jeopardize the author in any way. Or "taking a stand for fanfiction" is more important than a job.

Or it's just all about how the act made them FEEL~ and thus it's a horrible shit thing to do, how dare they.

nayrt - Yup. There's at least one person on here who thinks that their feelings trump everyone's right to control their own writing. I don't see this as being any different from complaining that an author is wrong and horrible because writing A/B pairing instead of C/D pairing makes the reader feel bad and deprives the fandom of C/D fics. So much entitlement it's scary.
