looking for a fic by nwspaprtaxis

Hey all, I'm looking for the fic Everything Still Turns To Gold by nwspaprtaxis. It's been removed from LJ and AO3 (at least, I can't find it), but does anyone have it to share or know of a working link?

Description: Everything Still Turns To Gold by nwspaprtaxis

Stanford!era, Dean gets a girl pregnant and somehow gets saddled with the kid. His daughter is only two or so when Dean gets very seriously injured (permanently, of course) -- John is AWOL, and Dean physically can't care for his daughter by himself (he's in a wheelchair, lost use of an arm, bad back, it's up to you), and he has no one else to turn to, so -- he calls Sam. He wouldn't do it for his own safety/health, but the safety of his kid is at stake, and that's the only thing that can make him want to break into Sam's new life.

Please and thank you!

UPDATE: The author has removed this story from her accounts and does not wish it shared via PDF. She is no longer active in fandom. Thanks.

I asked her on AO3 and here's what she wrote me. Maybe someone has saved it in a pdf format.

I actually deleted my LJ well over a year ago. I do check my AO3 (obviously) but I am no longer engaged in fandom. I took down EVERYTHING STILL TURNS TO GOLD (and its subsequent fics) from my LJ roughly two years before I deleted my LJ. I do not have plans at this time to re-upload that verse. Thank you.

that's sad, it looks like a really awesome story.

I appreciate you letting me know though!

I deleted my link because [livejournal.com profile] dinkwerks checked and the author does not want her work shared.

Ooooh, is she planning on publishing it? That would be awesome.

No, she's left fandom for good.

.......

You can publish fanfiction? That sounds hard to believe.

[identity profile] maureenans.livejournal.com 2015-11-08 11:17 pm (UTC)(link)
you can, I've purchased it. In that case, it was from a genre publisher, but it can also be self-published.

usually, it has to be able to stand alone independent from canon and with enough differences that it's not recognizable. So, AU's with character names changed and the like so that it qualifies for it's own copy wright.

Fans have always published their fanfic - in fanzines. usually sold for the cost of printing and mailing.

Formal "publishing" has also been a long tradition once the names are changed and additional editing work is done to make the stories stand alone.

Of course the most famous examples (so far) are Fifty Shades of Grey (Twilight) and "After" (One Direction) both of which sold for millions,

I understand!

Author here - Thank you so much for respecting my wishes.

Will you be publishing the fic? Is that why it was removed?

(Anonymous) 2015-11-13 06:44 pm (UTC)(link)
No. I initially removed it because I toyed with the idea of making it something original but it hadn't quite panned out that way and I'm not really invested in the overhaul so it's going back up on my AO3. Also, I'm extremely uncomfortable with the idea people possess PDFs and share them without my knowledge so reposting allows some measure of control.

Thank you! Looking forward to reading it again.

Nwspaprtaxis Here

I just wanted to thank you all for the amount of respect shown here and for reaching out to communicate with me directly in regards to sharing PDFs of my story. That being said, this had made me take a second thought about that 'verse. I am editing it as I wasn't fully satisfied with it and will be re-uploading it in the coming weeks. Stay tuned to the following station: http://archiveofourown.org/users/nwspaprtaxis.

Mods, please add me (nwspaprtaxis) to your list of deleted journals, but you may direct readers to my AO3 (link above). Please add the red star to my name as I do not wish PDFs of my fics shared.

Thank you.
