Honey. You sound old. I’m sure the authors whose works were handwritten bemoaned the invention of the printing press too because they could no longer control the dissemination of their works.

You have rights as the creator. A lot of them end the moment you make something public. If you don’t want people reading your work, fearing one day you’ll be embarrassed by it, there’s a very simple solution: don’t publish it anywhere.

We collect things that spark joy in us. We’re entitled to happiness. If you don’t want people deriving happiness from your work, don’t put it out in the world.

You must accept you will NEVER EVER have complete control over your work once it is out in the public sphere. This isn’t reposting, this isn’t plagiarism. This is retaining a freely posted work for your own private consumption. It’s legal, and it’s harmless. Move on.

"Honey. You sound old." <-- That's so condescending and rude.

"We’re entitled to happiness." <-- Not at the expense of others' happiness. It's fanfic, not air or water. You aren't being robbed on some personal level when an author chooses to remove their work from online spaces.

"You must accept you will NEVER EVER have complete control over your work once it is out in the public sphere." <--- This part I agree with, if only because it relates to everything, not just this particular topic. Anything that enters the realm of public consumption, both online and offline, poses the risk of a creator losing their product. This is in part why copyright is such a touchy subject.

I doubt you'd be saying the same thing if the author of a print book you really really really liked could somehow push a button and make it disappear.

Obviously not because I, and the nonny I would assume would agree, would not have PAID for that?

well put ♥

I am old. By fandom standards anyway. As nonny below said though, you're being condescending and rude with those first four words so I didn't read the rest. Did see quotes below though. Made me glad I didn't bother.
