Another potential use I can think of:

I have an "abandoned" status for any fics that were deleted from the site before completion or haven't been updated in a long time. Every few months, I run an update on them in the off-chance that any of them were revived (it's happened once!)

If I add the deleted-from-site fics to the reject sites it ought to speed up the process a bit by skipping over them instead of checking and going "yup, it's still deleted!"
I was just able to do a test. it worked as expected.

A bonus: Since it populated the error column, I can just do #fanficerror:false and #fanficstatus:"=Abandoned" for those infrequent updates.

New question: Is it possible with FFF's personal.ini to modify the text in the error column? I use a search and replace to merge all the "story does not exist" together (removing the bracket text) but then making another for "story on reject list" makes me wonder if it's possible in FFF itself.
