why did she say it was okay to delete your fic??

Re: Letters, still

copied from FFA (this is a 7 month old thread, FYI)

Context: user Ea_Nasir was asking if it's socially acceptable to leave your work anonymous after the end of an exchange. Various people confirmed that, then:

Beatrice_Otter — Today at 8:31 PM You owe your recip a story. You do not owe them your identity.

Beatrice_Otter — Today at 8:43 PM And, like, after the exchange is over? If you want to delete the story entirely? You can. They will have had time to read it and save a copy if they so desire.

Rosencrantz — Today at 8:43 PM no no. that's an unwritten rule it's a gift for the recipient you can face serious penalties in some exchanges for deleting the story

Beatrice_Otter — Today at 8:45 PM I'm not saying it's great, but it is possible. And it was one of the big changes from the old Yuletide archive to AO3. On the old archive, once you posted it, it was out of your control because it was a gift. In the new archive, it is always under your control.

angelsaves — Today at 8:45 PM what are you counting as "over"? i know some people who don't even read their stories until anon is over

Rosencrantz — Today at 8:46 PM Ea-nasir, please do not delete your story. And that is terrible advice, Beatrice. It's against the social graces of exchange culture it will just get people into trouble. Orphan fics you want nothing to do with or leave them on anon

Morbane — Today at 8:47 PM I can see it being reassuring to know you have that nuclear option, but it really is a nuclear option.

I suggest ea_nasir replace the story with a photo of some mediocre copper ingots and see what happens
