Secret 9 - Fanfiction writers, Archive of Our Own (fanfiction archive), orphaned accounts
I always wonder what happened when I see an orphan account on a recently active story (especially an incomplete one, since I guess it could be used to anonymize something kinky). I always thought it took longer to drift so far out of fandom you don't want to leave evidence. Was the author driven away from the fandom? Did they suddenly become so mortified by these particular stories that they wanted to renounce them? Did they get a real life publishing contract? What happened?
(The fandom distribution is uneven enough that I guess it's probably really some new subculture thing, orphaning an account to announce you've left the fandom, which seems really silly because what if you change your mind? But I still wonder.)
