This is getting out of hand.
What is going on? Apparently every story is being pulled. And we hear the 'why my story was pulled' and some are real and you know, understandable. A lot of stories were pulled because of the attention the fandom was getting through TFGB. And that's cool--we're not happy about it, of course, but it's cool.
No, I'm not even gonna talk about those authors. I am refering to the ones that give lame excuses.
thatgirljen posted something about AllIHaveIsYou being hacked. She writes Primal Needs. Turns out she didn't have a backup.
A while ago, we heard about hopefulhappenings09 (The Boy by the Window) being hacked too. She was also looking for someone who had saved the story, because she didn't have a backup either.
NGL-- I believed it. I don't know why I didn't think it was unlikely, tbh. What about the backup? Never crossed my mind. Second time around, though? I'm not buying it, and apparently you lot aren't buying it either.
I'm not saying it isn't true. It's just REALLY HARD to believe it. Who doesn't save their stories? And what about the betas? As a beta, I save every chapter of every story I've betaed, just for the hell of it. You never know what may happen, right? It's just a tad bit too fishy, IMO.
Do you think this might be a way for them to flounce and not admitting it to the readers might lessen their guilt? Why would people hack your accounts in the first place? Do you go around, shouting your account password from the rooftops? How did they even get the chance to hack your account? It jus seems highly unlikely, don't you think?
