You know, I've thought about what you say here, and yet part of me, as a fellow author, knows that once committed to paper or even electrons, a story is never truly lost. I mean, even with the confusion of archives coming and going, you see that people hold onto the ones they love (definitely including yours) no matter what. I can see even when I'm gone from fandom, my stories will probably linger on for a long, long time.

(feeling all nostalgic even before I'm even gone)
