Thank you for explaining! That's such a useful function, way better than orphaning everything.

Wait, when things are oprhaned, does it say they're "by Orphan" or "by Anonymous" or something else?

I would be violently opposed to orphaning my fic, but I've used Anon collections before. I think they're really useful!

I don't really know what happens when things are orphaned, other than the fact that they are denoted as orphaned somewhere on the fic.

DA

When things are orphaned, the author is listed as orphan_account. Which is an actual account that you can click on and see all the fic that has been orphaned on it: http://archiveofourown.org/users/orphan_account/pseuds/orphan_account . Some poor person new to AO3 must've thought that this orphan_account person was really fucking prolific at some point.

Oh, I see! Thank you!

I'm really curious now, going through some of these fandom lists.

Wow, so many hockey fics I've read. I wonder why they all got orphaned.

Re: writing thread

Huh, it looks like thenorthface orphaned everything. I wonder when that happened.

Re: writing thread

oh yeah, i noticed a few days ago that she deactivated her tumblr too, but i haven't seen anyone talk about it.

Re: writing thread

[(Anonymous)]

Weird. Hope they're okay.

http://archiveofourown.org/users/thenorthface/pseuds/thenorthface is still there? Did they orphan some, or did you mean someone else?

Re: writing thread

I believe I saw someone ask demotu about it, but I can't remember what she said. It sounded like general life stuff.

Re: writing thread

[(Anonymous)]

Mmm, they didn't ask demotu on tumblr. Or if they did I can't find it :P

na

Thenorthface deleted her tumblr and twitter account for life balance reasons after making a big move. She says she'll still be posting fic.

Re: writing thread

People orphan for all sorts of reasons. Some people just do it when they switch fandoms. Some people do it when they leave fandom all together. Some do it because they're embarrassed they wrote whatever kink.

I know I've got one in there somewhere for an old fandom that got an archive import which was a piece of undeniable shit (it had the entirety of a song's lyrics and a suicide!) that was written when I was really young. It got claimed and promptly orphaned, purely because I have a personal thing about never deleting fic.

So it could be anything.
