I finally decided to read some specific fics that had been sitting in my emails for months, only to realise that the author deleted them and ahhhhhh, that makes me so angry!! I understand that sometimes you don't like your past fics, but why not orphaning it instead of deleting it? Even if you don't like your work, other people might!
Sometimes I'm lucky enough to find the fic in the Wayback Machine, but really, it's so frustrating when you've been waiting for the good time to read a fic, only for it to have...disappeared.
Please, orphan your fics, don't delete them.
