Leonidaslion?

[katikat]

Does anybody know why Leonidaslion, the SPN author of "Bright Lights of Disturbia" etc., deleted all her journals? leonidaslion, leonidasden and leonidaslion? Only yesterday, they were there. Today, zip, nada. Gone. It's sad because she was an awesome author...

ETA: Ah, she's on AO3 now: leonidaslion. Still, does that mean she won't be blogging anymore?

She said in her announcement (made only 3 days before she deleted) that she wouldn't be blogging anymore. What's really heartbreaking to me is that I didn't finish saving the existing posts such as episode reviews, story discussions, links to people's art for her stories, etc. I was up to July 2009 (long story why I wasn't able to just save all along) when time ran out.

THANK YOU!!!

I knew that Leonidas had switched platforms, but I couldn't remember to which one. All of her stuff is amazing, but one of my absolute favorite, go-to happiness fics is the "Fumbling in the Dark" series. But, even tho I've been "in the community" for over 1/2 a decade now, I STILL haven't figured out how to memory, save, whatever, etc. I just hit up SPNStoryFinders and call it day, right? But, every link I was finding was to her purged el-jay, and I KNEW that wasn't right. I knew she had closed up shop there and moved on but I couldn't remember to where and google was ALMOST useless. I was using both of her aliases Leonidasden and Leonidaslion, and the base, Leonidas, and typing it into google and getting nothing. I was just typing her name in and adding dreamwidth to the end, and getting nothing. I tried searching with her name and the name of the story, various archives...UGH!!! Then I HAPPENED to stumble across your post, that came up randomly on google, where you were remarking on your own dismay at having lost her page. But, then you found it. Thankfully you posted the link. I followed it, found my story, and I'm ever so grateful. I even went through all of the bullshit work to sign in through OpenId just so I could thank you. I am in desperate need of foolish brother!boys touching each other like lovers and thinking they're still straight right now.

So, long, rambling, unnecessarily descriptive story short...you rock. Thank you for posting the link and reminding me that SPNSF can be poo-tastic sometimes, but don't ever doubt the google. Even when it's being a little bitch, like Sam, it always comes through...like Sam. Thanks again, and trust!, I'm paying this forward. :)
