Discothequey

[skay210.livejournal.com]

Hi all - does anyone know what happened to discothequey ?? I was REALLY shocked today when I checked her page to see if she had updated anyone of her fics recently and the journal is just DELETED!

Edit: Tegan is doing just fine! She's taking a mini-LJ break for a work-related reason but will be back. And we'll be impatiently awaiting her return!

I really hope that there is someone out there that actually knows her personally or can contact her to see how things are. I want to say that she was having some health issues at one point, but then again I may have confused her with someone else. (A lot of my f-list has been sick lately. :( So...I can see how I can easily get confused on who has what...)

It's just so weird that everything has vanished and no explanation. So many lately have deleted their journals (granted several came back shortly later), it's sort of scary when so many are left questioning why. For now though, I just have to hope that everything is okay, and while I will miss her wonderful work, I praying that she's fine and just needing to step away.

Yes, that's what I find so strange too - no warning or explanation, just *poof!* :(

It's depressing, and really concerns me.

You're right, it's weird and kind of scary - I mean why delete all your online presence ? It makes you think about bad things happening - I really hope though that it's not the case, that this was just a temporary decision - and even if she don't come back, at least that she really is ok.

So sad to see how so many people disappear from LJ, people who were in this fandom for so much longer than me and which gave us so much with their inspiration - but it's true, sometime it's just that you move on ...

I've been around LJ for years. While I've had friends come and go from my f-list as our interests changed throughout that time, this has to be the first fandom I've been in that has had quite a few people that would rather delete their entire journal, for whatever reason. I've seen more journal deletions here than I have in the past four years in all my various communities. That to me is the sad thing, like I noted above, many did return...but wow.

The fact that everything she's done outside of the Dreamwidth account vanishing is what's really scary to me and makes me worry that something bad could have happened. All I can do is hold out and hope that someone does know her and can inform us what is going on.

This is the first time someone's disappeared from LJ where I've felt like I'm in mourning :(

I love her fics deeply, and the thought of Branches and Lost/Found never being finished hurts my heart, but mostly I just want to know she's all right. And even though it's completely irrational and I know better, I'll be wondering if I could have possibly said something wrong or somehow annoying to her in my last comment or PM until we hear from her... *sigh*

I know!

I'm so upset to find out that she deleted her account. I pm'd her a couple of days ago but I didn't get a response. I hope she is ok.

I adored her fics and had quite a few in my memories. I hoping to get a "Nook" for Christmas so I can load all my fave fics onto it and never have to deal with losing them again.

Hopefully someone will be in contact with her so we know that she is alright.

Haha! I have Branches and Taped on my nook, not to mention various other fanfic. Anymore it's the best way for me to read fanfic, and I love it so much! <3

Sorry, I sort of jumped on your comment, but I was fixing to reply to one and saw your note about the nook.

[webberfan1.livejournal.com]

I have no idea how a nook works (but if you can fanfic on it then I may need to invest in one!) but does this mean that you have Branches and Taped saved, and could possibly share?

Thought I'd ask...I'm getting rather desperate for this stories!

[ipitydaf00l.livejournal.com]

You can put many various files on the nook, but .pdfs are the easiest. (I sort of downloaded all the Lost fic and have been working my way through those.)

I'm currently making a list of what I do have. I played around with cached pages and pulled up a few things I did not have today, but the only one that I've having issues with is Particles. (Just discovered I do have The Weirdness saved, it was just in the Read folder, but no luck on Particles or the newest one that was recently posted.)

[webberfan1.livejournal.com]

The nook definitely sounds interesting...seems like something nice to have.

Yay! When you finished the list, would you mind sharing? I tried messing with cached pages today, specifically Particles, and I couldn't get anywhere with it either. I don't get why. Makes me really upset because I love that series. Well, I love all of her stories, so not surprising.

[brokeaholic.livejournal.com]

Could you send me the file for "The Weirdness"?

I started to save Fic files afterinnerjustin deleted her account but I'm having issues with Word. It only lets me save about 25 documents before I have to purchase it and I have no money for that.

I have about 835 fics in my memories that I want to put on my "Nook" and really have no idea how I'm going to change them to .pdf files

I had to recently purchase Microsoft Office Academic Professional due to a class I was taking. (Thankfully I got it super cheap as a student discount!) However, I do know that openoffice is free (if I recall correctly one of my friend prefers it) and you can export .pdf files from that. *shrugs* It's a thought if you are interested in that route. I used to use WordPerfect because it's what came with my computer many years ago, but I'm really digging Word 2010 because I can copy and paste without having to insert pictures separately it does it all for me. <3

I started saving some fic way back when someone else deleted their journal and I panicked because there were so many works that I really enjoyed reading that were lost! I've slacked off lately because I thought I was 'safe' from having to worry about it with those that I was really following, but it appears I was wrong yet again. :(

But yes, let me double check the file and I will PM you.

*hugs* I know how you feel, I feel the same way because she was one of the few that I would comment to on a regular basis, I loved her works that much. Now, I'm sort of sad with the thought of not being able to read some of the fanfics again and worried that something could have happened. (My irrational fear....)
