Have you ever deleted your own story?

[ForestDweller]

And why did you do it?

 

[BenJepheneT]

I did it because I could. You will never understand the ecstasy of playing god to your own universe. Just as easy as you created it and spawned it to life, with one stroke of a finger you could decimate it to nothing. None left; only the crumbles of it in the Wayback machine.

You are the Creator, the Painter, and the Destroyer. All hands make the pieces, and the pieces shall perish in your hands.

Not here but when I was working with someone before, we agreed to delete it because we both got burnt out. It just wasn't fun anymore, and we wrote ourselves into a wall in terms of plot progression.

There's this one story that I didn't continue but I didn't delete it. It's stuck deep inside my old sd card and I don't know if its still alive. I was young back then.....

 

[ArcanePunkster]

Mainly because people generally don't enjoy my work for one reason or another. And when that happens I just don't feel like continuing to write for an audience that is there to hate on something that I write. So I delete it and write in my spare as a sort of guilty pleasure for myself.

 

[OkuraTsukiko]

I won't consider it as deleted, but I left a cliffhanger on another story in Wattpad and haven't updated it ever since I joined here. I was getting bumped by the plots and twists that I don't consider it enjoyable to write any further

I deleted 90% of my work and forget about them but I do keep the good ideas and bring them to my new works.
I cringe every time I find one of my old works that is still up

 

[deltanz]

I've only deleted them when I'm doing a rewrite but otherwise I probly won't delete them

 

[NotaNuffian]

I never even posted. Most of the works died in the folder called "Obsolete". I am still trying to finish my first arc before posting and I myself hates the work already, solely because I am forcing myself to write.

 

[Lord_Drakonus]

I only delete the ones that were embarassing failures. You can guess the reason why.

 

[NotYourTypicalMan]

I've deleted my workS once. Would've never done that again probably?

 

[K5Rakitan]

Many years ago, I deleted something on fanfiction.net and started rewriting it. I never got around to finishing.

 

[Moonpearl]

I deleted my first ever novel from my computer as a kid because my dad viciously mocked it.

I was so ashamed to look at it, even throwing it in its own folder didn't help.

I deeply regret it to this day, so I'll never do it again.

 

[Freesia.Cutepearl]

No, and I don't believe I would unless I intended to remake it right after. If I'm going to put so much effort into making something, I want to keep it up even if imperfect, if I just delete it, then it kind of feels like a waste.

 

[Dountmindme]

Yes, idk why tho. I deleted it off this site and other places.

 

[Farok]

On Scribblehub? Yeah, two times so far. The stories didn't satisfy me even after rewriting entire paragraphs or chapters, deleting them is the logical choice for me. Otherwise, and even if I do delete my story from online sites. I always keep them on my pc, as proof that my time wasn't wasted. I hate wasting my time.

 

[Farok]

I probably wouldn't entirely delete a story, but I have no qualms against abandoning one. After all, if a story you write becomes boring, stressful, or simply too complex for you, don't force yourself. You are the only master onboard, and if you don't appreciate what you do, who will?

 

[Wohendum-Bluu]

I used to delete my works all the time.

But then I took an arrow to the knee....
