How it feels going through your (would've been 1k+ read books if my Wattpad didn't glitch back then) to find a fanfiction you dearly remembered and looked back to reading again just to know the author deleted/unpublished it already after a year of no upload
It took me almost an hour to find it, but I can no longer open it because of such....
I mean yeah, I know authors might cringe from their own works back then ( I could relate), but you know? I read it again for the nostalgia and because I buried it deep into my heart that even after years I still remember it and would always revisit old fanfictions I've read back then.... Reason being? It's to relieve the moment the first time I stumbled the stories, no matter how much cringey they are, I would always go back and reread it .
It's my way to freshen up my memory, and it's my way of rereading a fanfiction and being able to be amazed with the plot (no matter the holes there may be) again and again, especially if I have forgotten what the plot was about.
I hold every fanfiction I've read back then dearly.
