Background
Yuletide archived their 2009 fics at the OTW's new "archive of our own" (A3O or AO3). The old Yuletide archive is falling apart and to preserve the stories there the worker bees are planning to bring the old stories over and upload them to the new archive. They haven't done it yet because Yuletide just finished, family likes to see one during the holidays, and exhaustion has set in. Word from on high is that AO3 will do their best to track down authors and let them know about the move and give them the option to have their name removed from the story (orphaning it) or to have the story removed. Removing stories is considered uncool. The Yuletide entry rules explain that the stories submitted are there to be preserved for everyone's enjoyment and ask that you orphan a story instead of having it taken down from the archive.
