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 ?

Date: 24 January 2006 02:14 am (UTC)that's the only time I have ever deleted my own stuff, when, with the help of a friend who is a semi-regular on Godawful.net, I realized if I didn't delete some of my stuff fast that I would end up on there sooner rather than lator. but that was my pre-teen sailor moon and lord of the rings phase and I cringe to think of the levels of sueage that I had in those stories... so trust me its absolutely no loss to the fandom
