When I got fed up with AO3, I deleted my fics. I could never have orphaned them. However bad or good they are, they're part of me. I find it such an odd thing to do, to disown something you wrote. I mean, I can see where someone might choose to do it, I just can't relate.

Quick question: If I were to delete my AO3 fics (because I'm like you regarding the reasons I could never abandon them) would AO3 send me a copy of the fics? Or should I make sure to download a copy first?

(There are a couple of fics whose original word docs were recently lost.)

And, uh, do the copies (if they are sent to you) have the original posting date on them?

I recently deleted something from AO3, and a copy was sent to me when I did so. I didn't keep it, so I can't say whether the original posting date was on it.

Late response is late! (And I'm sorry about that.)

Thanks so much for responding to my question!

Um, well, that's actually why I do it. To disown myself from it. It's good you have that kind of confidence in your creative works but the minute I finish something I'm filled with shame and hatred for it.
