So, I deleted all my fanfiction. Everything is gone. I was in a pretty bad place for a while and I wanted to get away from it all for some reason. I felt embarrassed by my older stories and, well, I ended up just flat out getting rid of everything. Sorry about that. If I could get a time machine, I would totally go back in time and try to persuade myself not to do it, but that's obviously impossible. My fanfiction was almost lost forever because I even deleted the files. I felt so much regret about that afterwards. For a while, everything seemed hopeless. I couldn't recover it on my drives, I'd deleted it from AO3 as well, and there was nothing left. I wanted to get it back so badly. I really missed my fanfiction, even if a lot of it was terrible... and apparently there were other people who missed it too. Fortunately, a miracle happened in the form of the Archive Team at . They had actually archived all Fanfiction.net stories as of 2012! After a lot of downloading and trying to figure out what the hell I was doing, which took far longer than should have been necessary (it involved Linux and warc files) I finally managed to recover the stories properly. I was even able to get more stories from an archive they uploaded later. I couldn't recover the files, but at least I have the backed up stories. Thank goodness. It would be really sad if classics such as Golden Insanity and The Dating Game vanished forever. I'm sorry I tried to deprive people who liked my fanfiction. Honestly, I'm sorry about everything. I was really in a bad place and did a lot of drastic things. I do wish I could undo all that but I can't. I'm not re-uploading the fanfics to , sorry. This site is frankly annoying anyway. I have however re-uploaded them onto Archive of Our Own, under the same username I have here. AO3 is a much better site than FFN anyway. I really can't stand posting fanfiction on this site anymore... Thanks to all the people who read, reviewed and favorited my stories over the years on this site. It was pretty fun while it lasted. I'll be continuing to upload new stuff on AO3 so check me out over there if you want to~ - Caz |
