Congratulations and felicitations!

Happy Birthday, disthrainsdotte! I hope you had a grand old time, with good friends and good food and general happiness!



Me, I had a somewhat hectic day: two food runs in the morning, then a visit from the physiotherapist (well, that was for Mum, but still), and then some crafting - I've started two new Big Fish(TM), a dark blue and a very dark pink, almost purple one. The latter is half-finished and already looks good, the former had his bright orange scales sewn on - that one is gonna be a neon fish, for sure, but I don't mind. *g*

Other than that, we are having a peaceful day, which is the way we prefer it. I've checked my DVD player in the afternoon and was happy to see that it is still working. Those are the small blessings of life.

Now, what the heck is this???

Really, things are getting insane in fanfiction land!

( I got this message from AO3 )

I don't understand! I always rate and tag my stories properly, this one is basically an action-adventure one, without block-quotes of episode dialogue or whatnot, not to mention has been up for 3 years! And no, I didn't get any explanation why the story got hidden!

I'm really disheartened about the whole thing. I thought AO3 was a safe place, but it seems not a tad better than FF.Net aka the Pit of Voles!

Edit: The mystery is solved

Well, it seems that my spam folder swallowed their explanation, but fortunately, they re-sent it. The reason turns out to be actually genuine: 12 years ago, when I originally wrote the story, I included parts from someone else's fic, regarding what the team ought to take with them on a one-way mission, with the intention to completely re-write it... and then forgot about the rewriting. Now I deleted the full content of the chapter where the stuff is and hope they'll have patience with me till the complete re-writing happens. I informed the Police & Abuse team about this and pray that this will be enough. *sigh*

My stupid fault, after all! I guess it was the other author or one of their fans who complained - and they had the right to do so. :(
