WEEK 13 [25/08-31/O8, 2020]
Hello, everyone! This is it. The last week of Hiraeth is here. I'm saddened, but I'm so glad that I got to be a part of this. It means the world to me that Hiraeth has helped some of you with your novels and that you have had fun.
Shout out to all the wonderful admins that this club has had the luck to have @mixturesolution @EvelynnVirgil
@smellthesuflower @scribbly_writer and @alexan629 I couldn't have done it without you guys ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Shout out to all the awesome writers who made Hiraeth the community that it was. At some point we were over 40. Over 40 people!! How crazy is that?? Thank you so much for deciding to join!!
Shout out to @TaketheJourney the only Reader of Hiraeth at last. Angela, you are the best.
Okay, let's do this.
QOTW (Question of the Week): • What has been your favourite book that you discovered in Hiraeth? or • Name one person from Hiraeth that gave you some awesome feedback or made a comment that made you smile.

BOTW
Since it's the only book out of us five that hasn't been BOTW The Flower Serpent Board by @SpaceLaserWolf will be our BOTW! But since their first chapter is about 7.5K words long (the length of about 3 Wattpad chapters), we will reading only one chapter!
Assignments (bellow)

From all the books I've read, the ones that left the impression on me are @EBetito 's novel and @WinterlyHeights ' poetry. Every chapter was carefully laid out and so much time, patience and talent was put in their writing that you could really feel it while reading. As for the person that was really supportive in the comments, @Lisandra_Pereira was my number one from the 1st assignment and her numerous lovely comments made laugh every time. I can't thank this community enough, especially @LaiaLK for assembling all of us, and Hiraeth admins who responded even in the middle of the night when we'd barely finish before the deadline. I didn't have the pleasure to read some of other people's books or comment on them, but I reckon they're jewels in their own category. :)

@LaiaLK Done with @jamie_bauer 's "Esktasis" (chapters 4, 5, and 6). Absolutely lovely writing, great action and character development, and so much suspense!!!! @SpaceLaserWolf I will do "The Flower Serpent Board" tomorrow. Sorry for the delay.
JoanneMacarania
@LaiaLK @jamie_bauer , @SpaceLaserWolf : I'll complete my assignments tomorrow. My apologies for not being able to do them by today. :)

@JoanneMacarania @jamie_bauer @SpaceLaserWolf @TaketheJourney hi guys I will be posting the last week soon here on my message board :)
LaiaLK
ANNOUNCEMENTS: 1) Wattpad removed Hiraeth 2) Last week of Hiraeth 3) Discord
Wattpad removed Hiraeth because of "restricted content". I suspect it's because of the strikes (apparently strikes are negative exposure). I'm heartbroken. Wattpad says that once a book has been removed it is gone for good and cannot be restored. I went to their Help page to request a ticket to find out why it happened (if I post the book club on another story and it still doesn't comply with their terms because I have done the same mistake they will delete my account without warning) and once I clicked on the restricted content part it basically said hey if your story has been deleted it can't be restored, if you want to find out why it happened just read our terms.
I was so moved reading all of your comments and now they are gone. :( . If anyone's still willing, I would love to do one last week of the book club here on my message board since Hiraeth has been removed.
I'm sorry to ask this again, but anyone who wants to be a part of this last week please reply here saying so.
And if you guys have a discord, I would love to create a Hiraeth server and add everyone (past members are also welcome of course). Or if that doesn't work out, I would just love to hear from you whether it's on Discord or Wattpad. Just message me. :)
Join the Hiraeth discord here: https://discord.gg/QnzkCer
It was an absolute joy being a part of this book club. Thank you so much everyone.

ohh i'm only seeing this now, that's so rude like they don't remove abusive stories written by 13-year-olds but they remove a book with a wonderful supportive community because of something like strikes i mean hello?? the discord sounds amazing, joining asap!
LaiaLK
@TaketheJourney No, it's not too late!! I would love it if you joined us! I was thinking of doing the last week on the 25th so that everyone has the time to see this post and decide if they want to participate. ❤️
TaketheJourney
That's terrible, and its all cause of the strikes?? I'm so sorry it got taken down. Not sure if it's too late, but I'd love to join for the last week!
LaiaLK
Can someone please help me with this? Wattpad sent me not 1, but 3 emails saying "We've been notified that you posted some restricted content in the following story:
[story link that leads to nothing—??]
Since this material doesn't comply with our Terms of Service (www.wattpad.com/terms), we've removed it from Wattpad.
If you believe we've made a mistake, let us know by visiting support.wattpad.com and submit a ticket"
Which story did they remove? Is Zora: The Veil still up? What about Hiraeth Book Club?? Can you see it?
I have no idea why this happened. :((
SpaceLaserWolf
@LaiaLK Well, that sucks. One would think they'd give a bit of a warning for that kind of thing.
