---

this blog will be deleted; i am transferring all my fics to ao3 as a backup. more details here.

UPDATE: also crossposted aquarium date with yeonjun

i'm deleting this blog.

yeah, exactly what it says on the tin there. i want to be straightforward about this.

first of all: thank you so much for the love and appreciation of my fics, and for the support and encouragement on my writing. it really means the world to me, and believe me when i say that my decision to delete has nothing to do with being unappreciated, feeling ungrateful, or any negative sentiment whatsoever. this blog provided me with a lot of wonderful memories from wonderful moas, and gave me a lot of creativity and joy when i needed the most. i'll always be grateful for my time here.

now, for some Q&As:

why delete? (why'd you stop writing?) i don't think i will write any txt fic ever again, to be honest. i go through very intense fanfic phases where i write obsessively for a single fandom, but once the fanfic phase passes i never write for that fandom again. i know myself well enough that i don't come back to old fandoms after i write for them -- that has never happened with any of my other fandoms, and i don't think it's gonna start happening with txt. this is NOT because i'm sick of txt or anything; it's just the way my brain works. i get very intensely obsessed with something and then it just... wears off. i can still appreciate txt and their music but they no longer have an obsessive effect on my brain.

why delete? (why not keep the blog up as an archive?) as some of you might know, this is a sideblog. it's linked to my main blog, which is linked to some of my other social media. on my main and on my other social media, i interact with people who dislike rpf.

there is a non-zero chance that my friends who dislike rpf will discover this blog, and i don't want to expose them to that. but it's very easy to accidentally post to the wrong blog or make a reference to this blog without thinking. i've accidentally posted to my main from here a few times! and as long as this blog is up, the chance of those people stumbling onto it and connecting it to me will always be there. i don't want to take that chance.

additionally: i've spent enough time on the internet to realize that the bigger my internet footprint, the easier it is for someone to connect the dots and recognize me. i might reference something here that i've also said on my other social media, and someone might spot those connections. i really, really don't want that to happen. i know this sounds paranoid, but with so much information about a person available out there, it just takes someone with some basic detective skills and enough time on their hands to figure shit out about people. i don't even like publicly posting photos of the outdoors when geoguessr players exist! and many people with those skills unfortunately do not have good intentions.

tl;dr - i'm protecting my privacy by reducing my internet presence as much as possible to reduce the chances of people recognizing me.

what's gonna happen to your fics? will you post them somewhere else? yes, i will be posting them on ao3! for now i've made the blackhairedyj account to store everything i've written here.

flowers of every color, 6:49am, and the quickest way to a man's heart is through is stomach have already been posted there. these were originally posted anonymously under my main ao3 account, but unfortunately i do have rpf-disliking people subscribed to me there. it's better for me to keep my txt fics in a separate account! i will be slowly but surely uploading my fics there before i delete.

i will also orphan all my works once i've finished moving them. (for those not familiar with ao3: orphaning means removing yourself as an author from the work. the fic will still exist but there won't be any user account attached to it, which also means it can't be edited.) after all, it makes no sense to reduce my internet footprint while also connecting this blog to an ao3 account! orphaning means that you readers can still enjoy my fics, but they can't be traced back to my accounts anymore.

when will you delete the blog? honestly, i... don't know. i plan on deleting once i've moved all of my fics to ao3, and i don't know how long that will happen. i've gotten very busy at my job, and i also want to spend my free time doing things other than backing up fics to ao3. so this blog might be up for a few more months.

once i've moved all my fics, i'll post a heads-up here in advance before i delete.
