FLESHFLUTTER

[swan_bite]

since i've been in fandom 3 writers have deleted their lj. today fleshflutter during the summer leonidaslion (who luckily left their AO3 (but it's not the same as an LJ --the commentary, the reviews, AO3 is just not as interactive)) and before that yourperiphery.

i've never been in a fandom where so many of its authors delete their ljs. i'm not saying it's not cool to delete your journal, i never would...and fanfic writers don't owe anybody anything, and there are perfectly valid reasons for not wanting to leave fanfic around or delete your journal, or do whatever you want just like the rest of us, but just--

idk.

it's sad. like a little death. =/ i hope it's just temporary. i hope that if it isn't temporary it's not because any RL or online problem.

i wish her well.

I understand what you mean. It is so sad when people and especially authors delete their journals. Drives me into a panic as well knowing that I won't be able to see their work again. Gives me extra incentive to start archiving those stories that I really like to read in case another author I like should fall by the way side.

I don't know all the authors you listed, but I do recall the name fleshflutter and I am dying a little inside trying to remember her? works. T_T

Oh just a possibility of good news. Found a discussion on tumbler and at least fleshflutter might just be down for the weekend. *crosses fingers*

Also possible reasons for delete has to do with new LJ security issues and people accessing wrong journals.
