I have a little bit of a crisis and I need your help. Would I be the asshole if I were to delete some of my stories?
Starting this announcement like a Reddit post at AITA, but the question still stands. I haven't been regularly updating any of my works and I completely lost touch with some of them. I have done this decision some time ago already and have deleted some really old and silly stories but I keep on coming back to the same question about the ones that I seemed to have outgrown.
I'm not a fan of some anymore, I'm not part of the fandoms anymore and I can't look at the incomplete stories on my account. I know some still read them but it's as annoying for you readers to see an unfinished story as it is for me to keep it on like a false hope story. I can't do that anymore.
I'm not a fan of S&B anymore and I'm considering removing my Nikolai story, I'm well over Ben Barnes and his story would go as well, The Captain America story too. I'd keep all the finished ones, it's just the 'lost ones' that bother me. It's why I already archived The Act of Travesty.
I know they are still a part of me, or they were once at least. And maybe I should keep them because fuck it, I liked them once, I'm not acting as if I hadn't poured my heart into them. But it still hurts to look at something unfinished. I also know I'm going back to Uni in the fall and I won't ever come back to these stories.
I think I'm reliving my crisis with The Line, where the end decision was to remove the story. At the end of the day, I write these things for myself, not for any of you and I never base my writing decisions on readers' comments.
I guess this is just some pre-warning that some changes might be happening to this account soon. Some stories may be lost. They lived their lives in my head and in your hearts for quite some time.
I hope you're not mad. And I'll greatly appreciate any of your thoughts on this.
