Author's note regarding this site and the future
Hello everyone, MoonRaven1412 here.
It's been twelve years since I joined FFN and posted my first fic Rose in the Eclipse of the Sun… That is quite the pretentious sounding title, isn't it?
Well, to the point of this message. It has been twelve years and up and downs with this site. I've posted great many fics but eventually moved on to AO3 where I began posting stuff, old and new. I stopped posting new fics here aside from Dreaming of Sunshine fics and even that was because the majority of the fanbase was specifically here.
Now though has become a turning point. There have been whispers for a while that FFN might go down any day now. There is no staff moderating reports, the news has not been updated on the front page in years… it is only a matter of time before the funds that paid the domain in advance will run out and as a result, the site would go down.
I've been encouraging people to continue following me on AO3 since I began publishing fics there in 2017. I'll be easy to find, the penname there is the same than here. And maybe you'll find some of my newer stuff interesting to read as well. I'm very thankful to all and every one of my readers. You've been wonderful and your support has been amazing. Thank you for all these years. I hope this message reaches as many of you as possible.
In here I'm going to list all of my fics in FFN and tell what their status is. They are listed in order of last to be updated to latest. This message is posted on all of my fics and also on my Profile.

So this is the situation. I know some people have begun downloading fics from this site in order to have a chance to read them again. I respectfully ask you not to do that as majority of my stuff will still be available to you on AO3. Not on Wattpad or any other site so please don't go posting my stuff anywhere either.
I considered making this post also the last replies to reviews but then realized that it would be a mammoth of a project. Know though that I read and appreciate all of those. Even the short ones that only have a smiley or 'update plz'. It always heartens to know that people still read my stuff, even older ones too. And hey, if you come to AO3, it'll be easier for me to reply you.
See you on the other side! o/
