I've wanted to delete my writing journal a couple of times, and I can understand anyone who does. ultimately, it is my journal so I do have the ultimate say in if I want it still up or not.
I know some people delete/lock all their fic because of personal issues (usually they don't want someone IRL finding their writing) and idt there is anything you can do about that. I've deleted an old journal of mine because all the writing there was really bad and I was ashamed to have it associated with my name. and I've wanted to leave fandom a few times before, sever ties with it completely which meant deleting my journal so that I wouldn't be tempted by it. this closely followed a fight I had with a close fandom friend and looking at the journal also reminded me heavily of her and that kinda hurt because we stopped speaking after that.
all this being said, if you're scared a writer will delete, save their fic.
(sorry this is really jumbled up and disjointed :/)
