Told a friend I'd been looking at old recs, and a lot of the stories are gone. Told her about a particular author I'd have loved to be able to tell how meaningful her work was to me, who had disappeared from lj and from fandom.
.
Friend: Perhaps she started publishing, and is denying her past in porn?
Me *snort*: Well, then how have I not stumbled upon any secret society for her new stuff? I'd want to read it. Even if it wasn't porn.
Friend: Perhaps she died?
Me (horrified): I doubt it! so many people left, and not even to other fandoms, they're just gone. I don't understand it. But I doubt they all died.
Friend: Oh no! Someone is taking you guys out, one by one!
Me: The rival secret society!

LOL! I think the average population of LJ is old enough that a number of people just reached a point in their lives where they were worried about their online stuff affecting their careers and decided to send it down the memory hole. That's why I'm fairly careful not to cross the streams.

Have you tried looking on spnstoryfinders? They keep an inventory of where you can find the fic of authors who've deleted their journals.
