2min trash struggles

So I'm writing this by an impulse that I've got from seeing one of great 2min authors deactivating her account. I must say it made my heart sunk and I really feel bad since my life as 2min trash is not easy. I've been reading 2min ffs for such long time that I became really demanding reader and I always look for good stories. Some are better and some are wrose but still, I appreciate author's work and many times I helped them or commented in the way to make their inspiration spirit up. And suddenly another author just deactivates... It's like a slap. I mean, you have a right to do this but still... I feel really sad now. That's why I'm asking you - whoever reads it, but I don't think it will be many people -have you ever saved 2min fics? Do you have some fics saved even if it can be against will of author? I mean most of us want to just have 2min fics always avaible, not to take someone's work and take credits for it as well but simply enjoy 2min story forever. I think I need to start doing it because I'm always upset when thing like this happens. You see, in one of my recs was the fic 'Circo di magia' written by @/aertiah who - I don't know when - deactivated her account, but it must be this year. It really hurt me so if someone has contact to her and may help me to contact her... I would be really thankful... 

Maybe it seems stupid but for me 2min ff world is really special and I'm really addicted to it so yeah... 

 

Have you ever experienced this feeling? Just help me overcome it because it's another time and I know there will be more... I just wish people left their stories and gave us chance to cherish them forever TT

100%%%%% feel what you mean, when i first experienced that it was like the biggest slap to the face, i guess now ive just gotten used to it because well...2min just isnt that famous anymore, at least thats what i think. I still get sad but theres nothing i can do. I want to continue shipping 2min but it seems like theres no 2mim fans anymore, is it just me? When im on tumblr all i see is jongtae and taekai. i wish the 2min fandom could have a revival...

Aww,. That's sad.. But true about the struggles. Actually, it's not that much of a surprise to me anymore. I've been around the fandom since 2012 and many 2min authors had deactivated already. It always hurts to see/know every time an author deactivates. T.T
I guess we just have to move on eventually.. x( I think you're right about leaving the stories though. I mean most of us just wanted to enjoy a little more of them. I wish they would leave the stories behind. Sometimes, old fictions bring back memories. :')
It's so sad to hear this news. I wish I could help you but I've got nothing.. Sorry~

Wow I didn't know that I can get such a respond! Ah it's nice to know that I'm not the only one~ It's true we all have lifes and there are times when I read nothing for one or two months because I'm busy but then I'm going back anyway. I always try to write something when I read good 2min story and if there are some 2min authors they should know me, I usually leave long comments especially on fics that I really love! But anyway, I just try to be understanding but still... When such thing happens it hurts so much, really. I was looking through the list of her fics or through many reccomendation posts and what? Many of them is taken off, deactivated or deleted. I ask why... When you don't care about something anymore (and I think it's like this in most cases) just... leave it for those who care. Anyway I was thinking about 2min community, there are some places here where I can become more involved in 2min shippers life? I usually just read fics here, comment and update my reccs. It's my first blog so I wonder if it's way of replying or should I do something differently... Anyway, I'm just big 2min trash and I love to talk about them and also share great fics with ppl. Sadly, many of them is gone and I wish I could do something to change it... And thank you once again for replaying, I was so surprised someone read it haha! It feels nice~ :)
Just don't let people belive that 2min and 2min shippers are dead. We're just on another level of life, where we're exprerienced and everything! 2min forever! And let's keep 2min stories somehow, I need to strart doing something, is there any other solution than commenting and saving fics??? Ehh~~

I feel the same! Especially when Kayamalie deactivated her account. I like to reread fics after a time and sometimes I feel like reading hers since I still see it in the search list. I'm also a voracious 2min reader and I can really relate to your post. Sadly, I don't save fics.

I know the struggle and I've experienced it so many times. While I respect the author's decision, it would have been really better if they made an announcement first before they decided to wipe everything. ((And yeah, I do save some fics - you know, the ones that I really like like for example Cereal's old fics but I only got one saved up on my storage and I refused to share it with anyone.. It's the least thing I could do..))

I know this feeling, I always search for good fic & go through many recommendation, As i'm also fic writer sometimes I need some inspiration & guideline how to write good fanfic,. At first I saw so many fics on rec list & reading a summary I really get excited coz
summary seems great but when I opened it
1. Authors get deactivated
2. story get removed
3. Fic get privatized
4. The page has been removed >.<
these pages showed up
I really get mad that time, hope someone saved all these great fics.

I feel the same. There are so few 2min authors out there now. I think we readers should shower them with comments. So many choose go be silent readers, and they quit writing due to lack of motivation.
The best 2min author i know of is harunachan. You should check her out!

I have a very unhealthy addiction with writing 2min and reading it. and though my stories are uniquie in my type of 2min and in their style and not 100% in their writing best ability. i love writing them even if my subs are lesser than a jongtae or minkey. I know most of the fact most orginal writers who shipped 2min are older and life hits them hard when they have to choose life over 2min. Many awesome authors have left and it . I personally even if I stopped writing would still leave them on beacause I wrote them to be read and enjoyed,
The only stories I saved was from and author who gave a link to download her stories before she deacctivated, but sadly I lost them when my computer got a virus and wiped my laptop T.T

Aertiah deactivated? Doesn't she also write dbsk fics? I really liked her stories...ugh sad. I get really sad when things lile this happen or when someone deletes a fic. Although i understand their reasons it still feels bad when i search it up to reread and its not their anymore. I feel you (╥_╥)
There are a bunch of kayamalie's fic that i would die to read again.
In my opinion its alright to save as long as you aren't uploading it elsewhere. I only saved poppykisses works cuz i cant stop reading them ^ω^ Dont be sad.. You will get over it.

same omfg its just. 2min is the oldest ship in the fandom but not many people acknowledge it and some of the best writers are gone or underwent a fandom/ship change and I just </3
but yeah, I saved their works. lots and lots and lots of them. I won't ever post them anywhere because I don't have the right to, obviously, but I like to keep them so I can read and reread them always

I definitely know how you feel. Aside from writing 2min I have many 2min authors that I simply adore. I had a similar experience when I wanted to re-read a fic bc it was so damn good only to find out the author was gone along with her stories. It made me sad that I could never read that fic again, but just try to remember the words- many of which had stuck with me. I like the idea of like "fan accounts" where even tho the author is gone another AFF user has taken their place to keep the stories available for other readers (i've subscribed to many lol). If I ever needed or wanted to delete my account (hopefully I never will lol) I would see if anyone would like to do that >.> it still tho but I completely know how you feel. <3
