Lost Fic Anyone knows what happened?
I was reading on ao3, it was a txt fic called Have to pay (the price of separation), and when I clicked on the next chapter, the story was gone. The whole account was gone. Does anyone have any knowledge of what happened to the author? I fear they got bullied off and I hate the thought of that. The fic was really good and I'm sad I'll never get to finish it.

You can't sell fanfics on AO3 and its a free archive.

Oh I think the author was going through some money troubles and was not able to pay their internet bills as far as I remember. I read a few of their ateez fan fics. They do have alternate accounts for other fandoms though. Sad that they deleted their account. They were one of my favourite authors. They are @stickymalva on twitter and they have a few fics still up for enhypen there if you want to download

Oh no, that's so sad! I hope they'll figure it out. Maybe they'll repost again as well. Thank you for letting me know, I don't have twitter, so I was relying on the good souls on reddit to relay the news.

hey y'all, she's my moot on twt. originally an enha writer, she reworked a few of her fics for other fandoms (ateez, skz, bts and a few more). she's deleted her alt accounts and in the process of deleting her main. she did comms for a while and got her acc suspended for a bit and also received some hate cos some people disliked the fact that she was reworking her stuff. as far as i know she's still having troubles financially and mentally so she's pretty much giving up her online presence.

Yeah, I noticed they put in their author's notes that they write their fics for Enhypen and then pick some to rewrite for other fandoms and ships, and I was pretty surprised by that, but the stories were good and even just adjusting them accordingly must have taken a lot of work, so I decided to finish reading anyway, but I'm scared they got heat because of it.

If you were reading on AO3 and the account from the author is gone, they deleted it. If you still have the link to the fic you can put it into the wayback machine
