And this is why I have a fanfiction folder with 1400+ fics saved from AO3.

[(Anonymous)]

Why not save them on your computer?

[(Anonymous)]

I hate it when people delete their fics. Just orphan the damn account. Leave your fics up for everyone to enjoy.

[kallanda_lee]

I honestly just wish that on AO3 at least, people would not delete, but orphan.

[dancingmouse]

I'm going to jump on the "Just orphan" bandwagon.

[(Anonymous)]

This reminds me of all the Yu-Gi-Oh! fanfics I had lost way back when around 2004 when the adultfanfiction site crashed and had lost half the works on there (and I assume some of which the authors couldn't be bothered to upload again OR didn't have backup copies).

Also the Naruto fics that were on the original Y!Gallery site :'( I still think about that 1920s GaaLee gangster AU that I use to reread when I was 19.

[(Anonymous)]

As someone who deleted a fic on AO3, sorry but I just...was feeling so insecure with my fic and I felt weird orphaning it because chances were I might one day get the urge to continue writing it. I just can't orphan my fics. Hits/interaction didn't really have as big of an influence with my decision to delete as one may think, but I don't think anyone was reading that fic to begin with so
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I’ve lost count of all the fandom/pairing specific archives I’ve loved and lost :(
I’m on the “wish they’d orphan” bandwagon for AO3 but also understand why some don’t do it. I’m eternally grateful that for whatever reason the one fic I was a bit iffy about I decided to create a new account. I’d have deleted that piece ten years ago if it were tied to my fandom name but as an unconnected work I’m happy I still retain control but no one knows its mine.

Oof! Big same right here!

I found my attention waning after the fourth or fifth episode (but watched the whole thing). It was cute, but I must be too old for the story now.

oh god what who's rebooting this

hotness-wise, you're not wrong. but also, the overall storyline/vibe/character types as they were in the early 2000s are outdated, compared to what people expect now. I discovered this through fanfic; when the original QaF (both American and UK) came out, we didn't have marriage rights and bashing/literally being killed was a genuine fear. We've had a good almost-20 years of people growing up not realizing this was our norm back then. So, rebooting QaF doesn't make as much sense as literally just making a new series that happens to be about the struggles of a gay community in 2022.

It’s a thing on Questionable Questing, and to a lesser extent Spacebattles.

Yeah, I'd find that hella frustrating too. You have my sympathy, nonny.

Which ones have you tried and disliked, OP? It might be a cultural issue. IME, cdramas in general tend to use certain tropes or character types over and over again, and if you don't like them you're SOL. The romantic tropes in particular can be really aggravating.

OP, have you considered that attitudes like yours are why watermarks keep getting bigger?

Games thread!

[scissorsevered]

its experiences like this that actually motivated me to resist deleting my older works at all costs, even if I personally find them to be cringey and bad. The thought of someone out there that somehow likes my work keeps me from wiping it off AO3.
