Im not a writer but a reader, but ive noticed in the past week or 2, quite a few stories just vanished and give 404s. If they got removed by the admin, shouldn't they disappear from reading lists etc like when authors remove them or something instead of just 404ing?

They were flagged as stories that are breaking the sites ToS. They still exsist in SH's back end and are only accessable by the author so they arnt deleted in that sense.

also OP,

Were your stories fanfictions? Did you have Pateron links or some other form of payments? Because that violates the TOS and is now being enforced.
Not fanfictions and no form of payments.
try to open your story when you're not logged in
Tried that. Nothing.
Ignoring everything else in this thread, here is some advice that will help you after you finally leave school and enter the big world, and in general:

When asking for help and solutions, provide as much information as possible, because nobody, and I mean nobody, can read minds and be a mentalist. In case of this thread, the next time you make another, include:

Links, meaning to your profile and the story in question. A detailed description of what happened, when it happened, when you noticed the issue, and what you did before the issue showed itself. A description of the book in question, what type it was, etc., would also be good.

And finally, before making any threads blindly, kicking in the door and yelling where is muh cookies, a preliminary search is also your friend. You know, to see if others had the same issue or not, and then go from there.

But I guess that is too much to ask, as it is too much to ask to read content guidelines and rules.

My advice to you is to get some fresh air and sunshine. And to not be so angry in life.
