@DarkSparx yup. What a shame! Honestly WP is getting rid of good material and good features. Will be a rather boring platform very soon.

By popular demand, I’ve created an Instagram. Feel free to follow me there if you’d like. I’m still posting aesthetic quotes from my books as well as tiktok teasers in my storyline, so it’s a little barebones. I will be posting future story snippets soon.

Question. What other platforms do you guys prefer to keep in touch on? 
          Twitter/X
          Instagram
          TikTok (I think this is getting banned in the US though)
          Tumblr
          Onlyfans? :P
          
          I have an old Twitter account that I'm trying to rekindle, but I honestly have no idea how it works. I'll post a few updates there and previews of future work, but I don't have much engagement and it's hard to find real people to follow who aren't just business accounts trying to sell something. 
          
          Networking is not my talent. T^T

@DarkSparx Instagram definitely, I know a handful of authors who post writing experts and promote their books, good networking app for authors fr fr

I added a Trigger Warning page to "Second Time's A Charm" and I think it tricked a bunch of readers into believing it's finished. Unfortunately, it's not, but we're almost there. I just felt like I had to add that since there's quite a bit more sensitive content than my other stories.  
          
          Sorry for any confusion. I may also be adding a Trigger Warning page to my other books soon.

If you had to introduce someone (a first-time reader) to any of your works, which would you suggest as a first?

You know what I'm not looking forward to? Publishing "Second Time's A Charm" on Kindle. I'm still working on the manuscript for "Bonding With The Enemy" and that's only half as long. X.X

@DarkSparx thanks for the information

@TsundereCutiee The digital version will be free, but I think I'll have to charge money for a physical print since there will be material costs involved. As for the version here on Wattpad, since I'm doing regular KDP and not KDP Unlimited I shouldn't have to remove the original story from here. The main difference will be that the KDP version will have less typos.

@DarkSparx will you charge money for it?? Will the story be  removed from wattpad?

Been working on a KDP acceptable manuscript so I can put "Bonding With The Enemy" up on Kindle for free. I really appreciate the Kindle Create app, but boy is it taking forever to convert my fully edited Wattpad book into an Ebook. I have to go back and add indents to every paragraph, do disclaimers, copyright, credits, table of contents, and then of course make sure all spelling is accurate. Heheheheeee.....

DarkSparx

@Merrisa2019 not yet. The manuscript is still being proofed first

Might update a few of my covers for the sake of publishing on other platforms. 
          I just learned that Canva, which is where I get images for my covers, does not allow their content to be used for kindle due to copyright restrictions. Also if I'm reading correctly, using KDP and not KDP unlimited will allow me to keep my stories up here on Wattpad while still offering a printed option. Still looking into this.

@litttlemochi Thank you! I was looking at Pixabay too, but will check those out. :D

A few people have been asking about physical copies of my books, so I started looking into KDP/Kindle unlimited. So far I know if I use unlimited to publish, I’d have to removed all but 10% of the story here. Not cool. I’m Not after money really, just looking for another medium to put my stories in.
          
          I was given an offer to put “Bonding with the Enemy” behind a paywall by Wattpad too, but decided against it a while back. I think Im happier just knowing people are reading what I write. 
          
          I doubt my gay werewolves would have ever made it into a Netflix series anyways. lol

I got four crowns done and am taking a lot of painkillers. If my writing for the next few weeks comes out weird, it's the dentist's fault. <.<
