Satisfy my curiosity
19 Jan 2006 05:43 pmSo am I the only one who, when someone casually mentions deleting their old fics or making them unaccessible in any other way has this reaction in her mind :
OH MY GOD YOU EVIL BOOK-BURNING PERSON !!!
I mean, obviously, I doesn't make much sense : we're talking about the authors of those fics. If they're the intellectual owner of that work, they should be perfectly morally allowed to make it unaccessible.
However there's still that thing in the back of my brain that insists : IT'S LIKE BURNING BOOKS ! EVIL ! EVIL ! EVIL !
Am I the only one ?

Thank God for Mirror Site. They're like the advanced alien civilization that records everything on the planet Earth and saves it for historical purpose.
