It's fortunate for you I didn't know about the Wayback Machine in 2002 when my parents found out I wrote slash and literally attempted to brainwash me into believing that slash was ohmygosh so wrong and evil, when things got so bad I I had to hand over my lists to alternate moderatorship, when my friends went through my livejournal and locked everything (and even then I ended up switching ljs), when the question of taking my website down and my fic out of archives wasn't even a question, it was 'how fast can you do it?'

Yeah, really fortunate, because otherwise I would have removed them from there, too. Luckily my parents never accessed them through the Wayback Machine, as I don't think they knew about it either.

Simply put, your right to read my fanfic on the interwebs stops exactly at the point where I decide to erase it. I can't control you downloading my fic, but expecting it to be there for forever and all eternity takes a sense of selfish entitlement that's really out of control.

*is tempted to go now and have her stuff taken out of the wayback machine just for spite*
