as for why people delete it's for several reasons i think, the most common being that they want out of fandom, whether completely or just their current one(s).
tbh i think that kfandom is a weird place, what with how much deleting there is and how many socks there are and everything. but uh.
for selfish reasons i really dislike it when authors delete, i.e. i want to be able and go back to read fic, but i have some understanding for it? there is of course the option of just abandoning a journal, which i personally would opt for if i ever felt like leaving (if nothing very serious in fandom happened), but i think that it might be a way to just render the entire thing gone and behind. it's deleted and it doesn't exist, which might be relieving for some people. while it makes me sad when someone deletes i understand and sort of respect their decisions.
i do however have very little respect for serial deleters, and people who claim anxiety as a reason should perhaps consider using the mediums and platforms on which they are in other ways then. (i'm not saying not to post online, i'm saying to take precautions so that you won't end up in such a place that your anxiety makes you delete your work time and time again.)
