dumb fan fic woes

(Anonymous) 2016-07-19 01:31 am (UTC)(link)
Heard from someone in my small, sort of obscure fandom that a few years back there was a good, multichapter fic centered on my favorite fairly minor character, but eventually the author took the story down without finishing it and nothing of it's left. This was before I even entered the fandom and I've never interacted with that author.

I'm considering asking the author if they still have that fic and would be willing to send it to a fan just to read, or even asking the person who first made me aware of it if they think the author would be receptive to them asking for a copy, as I don't think they've ever actually asked (unlike me, they've interacted with this author in the past through commenting on that fic, and they're interested in reading it again too).

There wasn't anything controversial about the fic or the author, and so I'm assuming they just weren't satisfied with the writing and decided they were done with it-- as in, they're not actively trying to keep something embarrassing offline or anything. I've also gotten good results from privately asking if I could read deleted fic in the past.

But I'm in a really bad place in my life right now, with RL problems I'm currently sorting out, and so I just don't feel up to reaching out and possibly facing the rejection. Knowing this fic I'm really interested in about a character I love may be still out there, whether available to me or not, is making me want to act and freezing me up at the same time.
