Deleted Story Request (Matt Moreau)

[mellowyellowfellow]

I know this it's gonna be a long shot to find someone answer, but willing to try anyway. I'm looking for "Thicker than Blood" by Matt Moreau who was rather controversial for writing similar LW stories.

I recently found that he's deleted his account while looking to re-read it, which is a real damn shame and loss.. I found an OLD copy on web.archive.org from 2017 plus some pages of it trawling through Google cache but it's incomplete.

If anyone can find anything more that's left of this story, or even a reason for the account deletion, I'd greatly appreciate it!

If his account was closed, then either he left on bad terms, or he was handed his hat and asked to leave. I can't imagine a reason why someone would leave on good terms and have their account closed.

Leaving on bad terms, means either he had subject matter in his stories which were against the rules, or he was found duplicating someone else's stories. I'm only surmising what would be reasons to leave.

He might have just left in a fury, intellectually frustrated for one reason or another and burned his account in leaving, but that, again, is leaving on bad terms.

In any event, I did a search by title alone, and with author name, and couldn't find it anywhere on the interweb. If he was selling his story from a pay website, then the story name would have come up. All of which makes me think it was one of the bad reasons he left...

If that was the case, then there won't be anything left of his story(s) anywhere.

Wulf's google is broken, I guess, because I found it very quickly on another site. It's like 40 chapters, and life isn't long enough for me to read such a beast.

Hmm, well I heard to delete an account it requires action by the Admins. So I find it difficult to see why he'd be forced to leave. It's more likely to be a voluntary account closing IMO.

I'd also find it weird if he left on bad terms as the author himself acknowledged that his stories were controversial, and he continued to write with similar themes for years without issue of plagiarism or such.

Well, regardless this is all just speculation and for whichever reason I hope the author is doing fine...
Thankfully, someone did help me find the story so my request can be considered answered.

Just for posterity, here's the link for the (now-deleted) Lit author page/story for reference:

There are two reasons authors delete their accounts. One is because they choose to, for any number of reasons, and you're right, the Lit Admin closes everything down, including the removal of all story content, at the author's request.

The second reason is repeated contravention of Lit's content rules, where it comes to the site owner's attention through reports. In that case the site might shut accounts down and delete content. The first step though, is to take down the offending story but give the author the opportunity to rectify the content breach. If the author doesn't resubmit a tweaked story, the content will stay down forever. Accounts are usually closed down because of repeated bad behaviour in the forums.

To speculate that a deleted account means bad blood is a false conclusion. Some authors don't want their smut up any more - it can be as simple as that.

Many writers have their stories removed and they're still on good terms with Lit, but why would someone who is not in any way, shape or form, "upset" and yet, burn their account???

"don't want their smut" doesn't sound like they are happy.

meh, I guess so. I still can't find it. It must be on a part of the dark web that I have blocked for some reason.

Some people get sick of the trolls that plague the stories in here and choose to leave for more controlled environments. Also a lot take their stories and start publishing them for $$$$. Amazon rules (and most everyone else) say stories can't be available for free elsewhere. They have to come down here.

You're jumping off cliffs with your speculation. Bad authors disappear very fast around here. Matt was a long term author and I can remember reading his stories years, if not decades ago.

*Note* He and the story are available on another site commonly mentioned here. SO_

As Gordo notes, they could be commercializing their content. I believe Lovecraft, for example, took a bunch of his content down when he published it for dollars. Other writers have done the same - I can think of several who still have content here, but have removed content to publish.

I love how y'all give examples of why someone would burn their account, but then contend that I'm jumping to conclusions.

Let me say, again, a writer can remove their stories and be on good terms. They can walk away from their account for a year, several years, or forever and be on good terms, but burning the acct is a marker that someone left angry.

Sure, have it your way. Nothing turns on it. Each author does what they want for their own reasons and we are not always privy to their thinking. If you want to think of it as burning their accts...feel free

Mr M

Mr M once thanked me by email for leaving positive comments and five star ratings on his stories, he was disillusioned with the smears, name calling and even death threats from the retarded anonymous community that dwell in the "loving wives" section these woman hating virgins who only crave women burned at the stake are allowed to run amok and should be stopped.
Personally i loved his wimpy cuckold characters and his annoyingly selfish leading ladies, and his fantastic skill at making me angry with all his characters, he will be sorely missed, he was a great story writer

Oh no. What am I to do with this edited story of his. An Unacceptable Situation
Can someone forward a message to him?

Okay, given how the thread is more than four years old, and his account had been closed for quite some time even before that, and you don't seem to have any means to contact the author yourself,... I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say you're one of those people who weren't ASKED to edit a story, but did it because you think you could do a better job than the author themselves.

Just delete it. You're not making any friends with stuff like that.
