I came to this thread to mildly agree because all my friends are very much in the NEVER DELETE camp, but omg I didn't expect the comments here, spinning hard in the other direction o.O

I deleted about a third of my ao3 last year because it was shitty, and that's cool and I don't feel bad about it (I didn't delete anything I'd made as a gift, for example, even if I now feel it's shitty) but I know there are some people who have the works downloaded and welp, I can't do anything about that. That's the internet.

I mean I still have drawings my bff did in elementary school because I thought (still think) she's just amazingly talented. She'd cringe to see them, but they still mean something to me. I try to think about it like that.

I mean, I'm not NEVER DELETE no matter what, but I am curious to ask, what made you delete instead of orphan?

(Anonymous) 2019-04-14 08:11 am (UTC)(link)
I think I'd feel a big difference between "downloaded on someone else's computer, out of my reach, invisible to me" and "here, but i can't access it to edit that typo i just noticed four years later" - the loss of control doesn't appeal to me in orphaning. Though, I don't know for sure. I can also just see never looking for it again, if I dropped an old fandom hard.

But anyway, it's because I do fanworks that ao3 doesn't host. I'd still have to babysit the actual hosting and it's easier for me to just delete.
