He wrote to Lazeez and asked all his stories be removed. He may or may not have told Lazeez why he wanted them removed, but he had them removed and closed his account.

Thank you for the update. I had actually been in the middle of downloading epubs for several of his stories when the page just disappeared. It's none of my business what his reasons were, but it's nice to at least know that it was his choice and that he wasn't suddenly banned by SOL for some reason.

In another thread Lazeez said it was because he had a new wife / girlfriend / significant other who presumably would not have or did not react well to the stories.

Thanks for letting us know. I have enjoyed some of his work, and it helps that I usually download stories in the Kindle format. I have saved nearly all the MOBI files, so I can re-read them to my heart's content.
We've lost more outstanding writers due to misguided, misaligned romances than we have to any other reason. Once some broad sinks their claws into you, they dislike your even fantasizing about other women, real, alien or elvish princesses or not. Even worse, they also insist you physically destroy ANY sex story you've ever written before, and then won't trust that you're not lying when you promise you did. Then again, I wouldn't either, but ...
Jokes about authors:
Do you like Kipling? I don't know, I've never kipled.

I don't think it's as simple as that. Got older and stopped doesn't involve yanking his work off the site. He would have left the stories on the site and not posted new ones.
It's more. Most likely one of those authors who either "Found God" or got a girlfriend that disapproves of his kind of writing.
A lot of people can't wrap their brain on the idea of incest stories, let alone accept one who writes them. He wrote a lot of Brother/Sister stories. Now he may be one of those authors who have done that, or want to do that (sleep with their own sister). But he could also be one of those authors who write it for the kink of it.
I know I write brother/sister incest and yet have no interest whatsoever in sleeping with my own sister. Actually, if my sister ever pops into my mind while masturbating or having sex, I lose my erection. It has happened already.
So if Young Thinker got a girlfriend he probably taking the safe option of removing the stories lest said girlfriend finds out and leaves in disgust.
I do the same, as I've always stated that incest is the new 'forbidden romance' as "they're from another family" just doesn't fly in the modern age, as not even cross-racial romances merit much genuine interest anymore. So the Shakespearian ideas faded away centuries ago.

Some days, it's difficult to find anyone here with a sense of humor!

That's because Bill Clinton made it illegal in the USA.

Old age, sickness and death are much better excuses than "my new girlfriend won't let me!". Seriously, as we authors or are we misbehaving teens, threatening we'll grow hair on our palms?

Thanks for this. There are at least a couple in there that are new to me.

The problem is that, at least from my system, ASSTR soesn't appear to be there anymore
Try replacing asstr with asstr-mirror in the URL.
Thank you very much!
That site only accepts http (not https) and I just found something there I searched for around 20 years ago.
Thank you. I didn't realize this existed. Do you know how long it has been up? Is this one of the 'old' mirrors?
Thanks again. BTW Firefox resolve the address, Safari couldn't handle it.
You can still get to asstr. Use the wayback machine, when it brings the website up, choose ftp. Some of the wayback scans went deep into the file structure, you can still find the author list and the associated stories.
