'Pack'ed Together

An Urgent Matter

Not a chapter but bare with me!! I promise there's a surprise at the end ;)

I'm usually against A/N's in place of a chapter but I consider this to be an exception because it's kind of important. One of the things that really draws me to wattpad (apart from all the awesome stories) is that I can interact with others who like to read and write and generally have some crazy imaginations! I love how you can easily talk to authors who are so talented and that vice versa as a humble author myself of some modest stories, I can talk to you guys and hear your ideas and opinions as my stories develop.

I know I'm not a perfect writer but I like to write my stories and I love hearing from you guys, it honestly is the highlight of my day hearing from you all. I would never consider becoming a serious author who publishes for several reasons but a main one is that I treasure you all way too much to give that up! You have no idea how much relief you all give me from the real world, how much you inspire me and give me new ideas and I even love the constructive criticism!

So I was thinking; how else can I get to know you guys? And you know me a little more? Or how can I show you more of what inspires my stories/characters? Or even have my characters show you more of their complex personalities?

And then it hit me! Something that makes wattpad so unique to me is the social netowork side of the site! Which led me to thinking, what if I created an instagram account with my wattpad username?! So that we can follow each other and I'll upload pictures that inspire me for my different stories/characters (I promise there will be no selfies unless by popular demand ;) haha). But what's most exciting for me is that you can do the same! We'll create tags so that if you see something that reminds you of a character of mine you can tag it and show me or just take photo's of you and your stories or things that inspire you as a author. I would love to get a glimpse into your world (in a non-creepy way I swear)

I was also thinking of getting an ask.fm page so that you could ask me questions or even ask my characters questions. Which I think will be so fun because I think it would bring them even more to life. But I'm more hesitant about that because it seems a little unnecessary considering I have a message board here on wattpad that you can post questions to. Be assured that if you asked my characters a question, they would be answering in real time (with their feelings/beliefs etc from the most recent chapter). But again I'm way more hesitant about the ask.fm page.

Anyway let me know what you think in the comments, especially my beloved silent readers, I would really appreciate if you broke your silent habits this one time to give me your opinion :D

I think that this idea will be emphasizing the social aspect of wattpad and will quickly catch on with heaps of authors! I personally would love to see wattpad related pictures from SherriffSquinty, OrangeChicken, apathetic_remorse, SmilingCherries, xxdemolitionloverxx and malin87 just to name a few haha but most importantly; from you guys!!

On a future note, I'm also working on collaborating with a few youtubers so that I can have a youtube channel so that I can have some of my friends who study performing arts to act out scenes from the book and I also need someone to cover songs for a story I'm currently writing that I won't upload for a little while yet! But again that's a bit further into the future, lets see how this instagram thing works to begin with

Alright before you write your thoughts, here's a little treat for reading all of this. <3

PT:

LB (lovebug) - Alright guys feel free to start talking, I'm ready to write it all down

*Heavy silence*

LB - Guys don't be like that, I told you I was sorry! *apologetically*

Lucas - You ignored us for months. You hurt us...and you hurt the readers! *tearfully*

LB - I didn't ignore you I swear!

Hemi - That doesn't stop Lucas from being sad! *also tearfully*

LB - I just hit a wall guys and I'm so sorry. I started the story early and I didn't write it properly and I left out important things that happened. But I'm going back over it and I'm doing some major editing so that there's more description for all your characters and more depth to the plot

*Thoughtful silence, Ronan sighs*

Ronan - Fair enough

*everyone relaxes*

Nate - I'm so glad you've seen your mistakes and have chosen to go back and rewrite the story with me as the main focus point *mischeivious*

LB - That's not what I said...

Nate - And I think this instagram account is going to be awesome.

Lara - Yeah me too but I have a problem with sharing the account! Why can't we just make our own?

Hemi - Because everyone would follow me and the rest of you would feel bad

Emi - Is that a joke? The only photos you take a shirtless selfies nobody...oh wait you have a point

*Ronan growls*

Jake - I guess I'd like to share photos of my life and I'm probably the only one who could take photos of you all while you're in wolf form

Hemi - Remind me again why we're letting our wolf secret come out on in an internet story?

LB - Because more and more people are starting to believe in wolves nowadays so the Alpha Elders thought it'd be a good idea to start recording the story of different packs all over the world so that the facts are out there before people start spreading rumours about you being mindless beasts.

Ronan - All that aside, I don't think we'd really do much with this instagram account...I mean we're either training, at school or the beach...I'm sure people would get over that pretty quickly *dubious*

LB - Trust me, everyone wants a glimpse into pack life especially because every pack is different. Simple photos to you could be amazing to someone else.

Lucas - Well if that's what you want us to do, I'm sure we'll all try our hardest *sincere*

LB - Aw that's the attitude I'm looking for Lucas!

Nate - Maybe it'll help us find our mates quicker *muses to himself*

*Room errupts into friendly teasing*

Nate - It's a possibility! Becuse we'll be able to see the pictures all the readers put up too.

Hemi - Uh huh whatever you say Romeo
