I'm sorry for the horrendous necro but I have to know if this was intentionally a Tommy reference.

Excellent story. I noticed a few typos here and there, but no biggie. It's been a long while since the last time anything made my heart clench and throb and have all these feels. And you did something I once thought was impossible for me: you made me like Jigoro. o_O

That...was depressing. It was a tearjerker, sadder than sad, morose, blue, melancholy tale.

I loved every second of it. Well done again.

One word for it: amazing! Sad, but amazing! Guess thats four words though O.o

I see what you did there. Of should I say; I see [the] Who you did there.

Dooming, you have a terrible habit of making really dark, sad, and brilliant stories. This was a tearjerker, and I didn't have to punch a bear to regain my manhood, because I would loose it one hundred times so long as you keep writing.
Have a nice day,
*salutes*
And God bless

Uh. Where's the story? It seems to be gone.

Kind of sad seeing as how "Braving the Storm" is one of the Fanfic Recs for Katawa Shoujo on TVTropes (most of the comments on it are praising Doomish's writing)

Did he ever say why?

Not publicly, no.

To put it simply, he's decided that writing isn't something he can or should do. Additionally, he's ashamed of some, if not all, of his writings, and has thus moved to distance himself from them.

Personally, I think it's a shame that he's stopped writing, and don't agree with his decision to burn it all to the ground, but that's his decision to make.

At this point, the best course of action would be to try to find out if someone managed to preserve his works. It may be hard to find certain things, but the internet never forgets.

Riiight.

Why on Earth should anyone be ashamed of their writing? Doomish, is one of the better writers on the forums. It's a sad moment that he believed he isn't good at writing.

Well, did anyone save it or something?

It's not that he thinks he isn't a good writer. I highly doubt Doomish believes that. I have never talked to him personally, but having read most, if not all, of his stuff, I'd be inclined to say that the... shall we say, 'dark' nature of several of his stories is something with which he does not like to be associated. It's not a healthy mindset to have, and I can vouch for that personally. Deleting his fics could be a way for Doomish to "get away" from that unhealthy mindset.

I'm not sure if there are any backups of his work, but I'd advise against asking around. If Doomish doesn't want them to be read, then let it be so. With Apologies is still on the forums, though.

One of his fics is still up, go to his profile and go the most posted topic, on second thought, don't, I skimmed the last paragraph of the last chapter and am now going to to go huddle in a croner and cry into my pillow for a while, then commit suicide, idk.
