Bracelet / Fake IG

Shumdario oneshot
In a nutshelll: So, it was a little test on IG. I created a fake account. I wrote the Bracelet oneshot there. In less than a week, 284 people read it. Then, on my main account, where the other Malec and Shumdario stories are, I wrote another Shumdario oneshot related to it, thus connecting the two accounts and the two stories.
Longer version: it was an experiment. I have a writer's account on IG, where I post the chapters of my Malec fanfics. (You can read all of them there, including the Oneshots, of which I've only uploaded a few here.)
So. I wrote this Shumdario oneshot. But I didn't publish it on my main account, I created a whole new account (@pandalightwoodbane) and posted this Shumdario Oneshot with 0 followers. It's titled 'Bracelet'. It got 284 reads in a few days. It was also read and commented by people who know my main account and read my stories. No one noticed that they were reading from the writer whose stories they regularly read. (Well, a few people guessed...maybe...) Then a few days later I posted the sequel on my main account, titled 'Fake IG', at the end of which I reveal that Bracelet Oneshot is my work. It was fun to see my readers realise that I had written 'Bracelet'.
Check it out, I didn't delete that account. There's the oneshot and there's Harry's shirtless pics :)
Maybe it makes the story a bit more interesting...I don't usually write such short stories, but it was a very interesting experiment. And of course I created Harry's "own" IG account (@pandadaddybane) because "he wanted to post" some pics about Matt :)
