Hey friends <3
          	Thank you to everyone who’s read, voted, commented, or messaged me over the years. This account has been such a special part of my writing journey.
          	
          	When I started here in my early 20s, I was disheartened by the publishing world and just wanted writing to feel fun again. I never expected these fics to gain so many readers, and while it might sound silly to some, I’m genuinely proud of what we built here.
          	
          	But as the audience grew, so did the challenges, mainly including hurtful comments and pressures I didn't expect. I’m just a person behind the screen, a mum, a wife, a Saturday sports cheerer and fundraiser baker, and someone trying to create stories in my spare time because I love to write. The mockery I received daily on here wore me down and the joy faded and it affected me in all areas of life.
          	
          	I also came to realise many readers here are a lot younger than I expected, and that’s made me increasingly uncomfortable with writing smut and explicit content. It’s not about judgment, just personal conviction. I want to write stories I can be proud of, ones I won't feel the need to hide or downplay from people in my life.
          	
          	And of course, the ‘T’ words — Tommy Shelby. While I’ll always be grateful for Kimber’s Daughter and everything that followed, I’ve felt boxed in for a long time. I’ve tried to deliver what people asked for, but the truth is, I’m not a Peaky Blinders superfan. That version of Tommy became his own character and one I’ve since grown away from.
          	
          	I’m in a new season now. Still writing and still inspired, just in a different voice. My new account is @tova_grace where I’ll be sharing slowburn romance and deep fics, just without the smut.
          	
          	If I’ve left a story you loved unfinished, I’m truly sorry.
          	
          	If this is where we part ways, thank you for being part of this journey. And if you’re still with me, I'm beyond grateful and hope the next chapter will be the best one yet.
          	
          	With love,
          	Tay x

Hi @taygetacaulfield,
          
          I recently had the chance to read your story and was genuinely impressed by the depth of your plot and the strength of your characters. Your storytelling is compelling and I believe it has the potential to reach an even broader audience.
          I’d love to commission you to adapt the story into a webcomic. I think this format could add a dynamic visual element to your narrative and help engage readers who enjoy visual storytelling. If you’re interested I’d be excited to talk more about the style, format and pricing to help bring this project to life.
          Let me know what you think I’d love to commission and explore how we can bring your story to a new medium.
          
          Best regards,
          Dis_bethzy

So sad that this account is no longer active, but let me tell you how much I enjoyed “March”. I LOVE john shelby so so much, reading this literally cured my broken heart from the real show, but this has got to be my favorite stories of all time I’ve read on this app! Author you’ve got some seriously amazing work! Much love!

Will you ever continue callsign princess? It was such a good series and much more realistic than the other cod books I’ve read

Hi, Author! Just wanna let you know that I'm so fond of your works! I kept checking your old books like Liana's Dream and The Fear Dissertation... I just can't get enough of them. It's been 7 months since I discovered your account and throughout the time, I keep on stumbling back on your books—rereading them. They're amazing!
          
          Btw, I'm glad we had Fortnight. You've made such a beautiful enhancement of that lover boy side of Tommy that the show barely gives. The whole ending was unforgettable—don't let me start with that because I might not stop. 
          
          Take care of yourself!
