NAYRT, but some authors don't give two wooden nickels about their fans, and I personally have been burned by them many times. I'm not familiar with the book in question, but if there was a long lead-out and plenty of warning, I have no problem with that.

A writer has every right to do what they want with their work. As a writer myself, I understand that. But suddenly up and yanking a fic that people love one day.. it feels like a betrayal. A "I'm popular now, screw all you little people".

My other set of feelings stem from those who pull their work to be published.. then never do so. Whether it's just due to bad luck, or the author didn't realize that breaking into being published isn't a cakewalk, and no, you're not going to get constant asspats like you do in fandom.

And.. sorry. Your curse won't work on me, since I have absolutely no plans to go pro. So come at me! :p

*constant asspats"

Clearly I've been parking my unpatted ass in the wrong places!

In this case, the author pulled their work BECAUSE it was getting published, and they gave plenty of warning that they were going to have to take it down after a certain date because their contract required it.
