Honestly I sort of feel this way in general when an author takes down a fic to turn it into a "real book." It's one thing if they get a book deal and take all their fic down as a consequence, but taking a popular complete (or even worse, incomplete) fic down to make into an original feels like the author is using all the fandom readers who loved it to give themselves clout and then dropping them because the author is now 'too good' for fandom. I feel like most authors only suddenly decide their fic would be better as an original once fandom has given them validation, like if it was the exact same fic but never got popular they would never have considered changing it into an original story. And now all those people who gave kudos and comments and bookmarks lose access to a fic they loved or never get to see the end of the story because the author decided fandom was beneath their talents.
