Hello, ModernDayBard here!

Hey, so I finally did something I’ve been meaning to do for a while, now: I have started a sibling-account to this in Ao3. Fortunately, I got the same username there, so any of you who want can find me there under ‘ModernDayBard’ as well.

This isn’t me leaving at all, but just as I had some friends who used this site exclusively that wanted to read my stuff/I wanted to work with, (hence why I started here) I now also have some friends who are Ao3-only, and I’ve been meaning to check it out.

In the next few weeks, I’ll be posting some of my favorite stuff I’ve written here on Ao3 as well, so if you see some of the stories below on Ao3 posted by ‘another’ ModernDayBard, don’t worry—that’s just me!

I don’t have any new stuff to post at the moment, but once I do, they will go on both profiles, so you don’t have to worry about missing anything if you just follow one or the other, and, of course, all the stories I’ve written here will stay here—I’m not taking anything down.

And a final promise/reminder: I am still writing fanfiction, even though I’m not posting it right now. I’m currently working on three WIP’s in various stages of readiness, but two of them are pretty major/big projects that’ll take a long time to finish and, as ever, I don’t post a story until I finish it, out of paranoia of leaving a story half-done. Hopefully, I’ll get each of them done in their own time.

Until then—ModernDayBard
