Memory Lane and the march of Time · 11:19pm Jul 28th, 2013
Not like anyone cares, naturally, that I would be feeling nostalgic. However I crave some medium to broadcast this simple disappointment that I find on my stroll through memory lane - that is to say, the deletion of stories. It is unquestionable that the works created by authors are owned by them, as is just. However a great injustice is dealt to the readers when these stories are forever lost to them, for what gain? Some, like DeviceHeretic, delete in embarrassment. I have sympathy, yet I share more sympathy with the readers who enjoyed such 'flawed' work nonetheless and lost it to eternity. Others, like tepidGnostic, delete out of pragmatism; if a story has no future, then it seems just to remove its past - any worth seemingly vaporous. Again, I plead, that this is folly. It is callous of the author to forgo the feelings of their readers and value only their own sense of value. Sociopathic, could be applied. Even still, more reasons abound but are lost, like the stories they failed to justify. I beg anyone reading this to reconsider deleting and hiding their works of art, not for themselves, but for generosity to others.
If this had no purpose to you, enjoy the picture of a horse below:
In order to ease this grave travesty, I've created this here group for stories lost to the march of time.
