If you're reading this, you're probably one of the few fantastic folks who has favorited/followed this story, and you're just the person I want to talk to. Hi! Thank you so much for reading this story and for taking a moment to express your appreciation/interest. It means the world to me, and I can't begin to express how much I value your time and feedback.

I want to let you know that as a responsible adult, I feel I must comply with this site's terms of service. I'm in the process of removing all content that might be construed as "MA" from this site's versions of all of my stories, and I'll no longer be posting new stories which might possibly be deemed non-compliant to this site's TOS.

I also want to let you know that all of my stories can be found, right now and indefinitely, whole and in all their "MA" glory on AO3 (archive of our own). If you enjoy my work, it would really mean the world to me if you would visit me there. Once on AO3, type haldolhs into Search, and you'll find me no problem. All of my stories are open to the public, and you don't need an account to read, send kudos, or leave a review. One of the really nice things about AO3 is that it lets the author respond to all reviews (including guest reviews) publicly, and although it often takes me a little while, I always do.

You might be wondering why I've suddenly decided to comply with this site's TOS, which a great many fanfiction writers (myself included) have chosen to ignore as unduly restrictive and/or in favor of garnering readership from the vast popularity of this site. The reasoning for my decision is singular and simple: Fanfiction dot net places the liability for underage readership of mature content on the writer. AO3 places that liability on the reader. While I'm not so naïve as to believe readers who are not yet legal and consenting adults would never click the button that says they are of consenting age to gain access to one of my stories on AO3, I do appreciate knowing that anyone reading one of my more "mature" stories is fully aware the story contains adult content and has made a conscientious decision to read such content. Such assurance is not afforded by Fanfiction dot net.

If you're reading this, thank you so much again for reading my work, and extra-special thanks if you've taken the time to leave me a comment or a review. I truly, truly hope you'll visit me and my stories on AO3! You can also visit me on tumblr: search user haldolhs My ask box is always open. I'd sincerely love to hear from you!
