So private messaging is now gone it seems. Sad, but I suppose that means I might just post here more to keep you guys updated on stuff.
          	
          	On a side note, Happy Birthday to me!!! I don't do a lot for birthdays anymore, but my family and I went out to eat, and back in April I went to see Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire with my friends!
          	
          	And one last thing, I'm still debating whether I wanna write FFVII Rebirth stories for Vincent. I might still make some short stories for him, but anything big will probably wait for the final game when all of Vincent's story should be revealed. But quick question for you guys: how many of you would read a small Dragon's Dogma 2 story? I admit I've grown a little obsessed with it, haha.

I was just notified by Wattpad that private messaging will be removed on May 6th. It said that Wattpad will still be able to send messages, but messages between users will no longer be a thing. Is this for real? We really won't be able to privately chat with friends and stuff? That's kinda messed up. Did some people abuse the private message system or something?

@FireExorcist0 Well I understand if they had a problem with nasty spam or bullying, but the fact that they won't answer or handle it without punishing everyone else is absurd. Pretty much any social media is going to have bullies and spam, that's no reason to completely get rid of a feature that's been around from the start.

@May5696 Some say it's because they want to turn it into serious business while others say it's because of the nasty predatory and spam messages I even PM their account asking about it but no answer.
            
            Guess they no longer care about the people using Wattpad anymore at least the ones that are not paying anything. If it's about the Cyber Bullying they never handled it well from the very start, so it was their failure to moderate things to blame not people.

@FireExorcist0 Very strange. I just wish they at least gave us a valid reason. Currently it just seems like they want to restrict how much we're able to interact with each other, which is just stupid to me.

Big news! I've now begun the additional short stories for my Pokemon book! These are based on the Scarlet and Violet DLC. It's a bit overdue but I wanted to finish my previous book before starting these. Anyway, I hope you guys are ready for some much needed Drayton content!

@May5696 Awesome! Yeah, the game sure does have those. I really did see a few of them when I've been watching some walkthroughs of the game these past few days on YouTube.

@PAngel135 I didn't know you read my Hogwarts Legacy story, nice! I love that you reread my stuff though, makes me happy to know you enjoy them that much. I'd definitely be interested to see what you do for your own HL story, because the possibilities are vast with that game.

@May5696 Thanks for both of that, I needed it.
            
            No prob. Good thing I have my hobbies to pass the time whenever I'm not writing while my dad is still using his laptop. Rereading some of your stories is doing the same for me more recently. Especially your Hogwarts Legacy story since it eventually urged me to write my own HL story soon after I reread it a few times, hehe. ;-P

Just a little heads up, to everyone who's enjoyed my Pokemon Scarlet and Violet stories, there is more to come! I know that the book is currently complete, but since the DLC for the games, I've had ideas for two more short stories! They'll be centered on my two favorite characters from the DLC, think you can guess who they are?

PAngel135

@May5696 Ah, okay. Not so much is revealed, so no worries, you didn't spoil anything.

@PAngel135 It's true, his story and character development throughout the DLC is why I want to write for him (and because I find him adorable). I do have a plan to use the Applin giving, but it will only follow bits and pieces of his story and ultimately lead up to possibly a sequel type of scenario. Like with my other Pokemon stories, I like to come up with ideas that end after the canon story so it's like a little look into what those characters are doing after the game ended while also allowing me to give them happy ends that they deserve. I hope I worded that in a way you understand, describing my ideas without spoiling stuff is hard, hahaha.

@May5696 Cool. And about Kieran, I bet his storyline is why you will write his short story or part of the reason why you'll do it. Will the short story have his storyline and the Applin giving? Ooh. Maybe anything like a sequel similar to how you did it with Arven's short story?

I'm so sorry for being inactive lately!!! I promise the Hogwarts Legacy story I'm working on is still coming, but I've had major delays due to a month and a half now of problems.
          
          At the end of August and beginning of September I got a mild case of carpal tunnel that took over a week to recover from. I went for maybe a week of peace before terrible allergies hit and spent a good two weeks with a sore throat and stopped up nose. Then, just when I think everything's blowing over, the end of September wrapped up with a terrible stomach bug that's given me persistent problems for TWO WEEKS NOW and it's still going on!
          
          So yeah, I've been unable to fully focus and work on my story because of all this. I'm really hoping this'll blow over soon so I can get back into the swing of things. Thanks for being patient. Just wanted to let you guys know what's going on in case some of you were eager for my next work.

@May5696 Anytime.

            Thank you. It's been rough but hopefully it'll pass. I'm so close to having the story ready for publishing but not feeling well has given me almost no motivation or concentration to write.

@May5696 No worries, I'm still waiting patiently for your new story. Get well soon as I pray for you to be completely recovered.

I'm recovering from a mild case of carpal tunnel syndrome. Not fun at all. But I'm getting back into the swing of things. I'm now taking precautions whenever I'm writing or working on anything on my phone or computer, like taking breaks and just stretching my hands. Be careful out there! Don't make the same mistake I did!

I'm terrible at graphic design, so I'm asking now if anyone on here could do a Hogwarts Legacy cover for my upcoming story? Just curious if I have any active artists before I go looking through cover design shops on here.

May5696

@projectshiawase I too suck at drawing lol. Most of my covers are either made by someone or just a picture with a title. I do use a design tool app that gives you some basic things like adding multiple pictures and stuff, but I'm not skilled enough to make something really original. I may just end up using it to make a cover for this one though, i think I've found some images I can use for it. I have noticed your screenshot covers haha, I like them though, lots of people do that with their stories.

@May5696 I can do a little graphic design but shocking at drawing ^_^; surely there will be someone with the skills you need? all of my covers have been screenshots taken by awesome gamers of the ffxv boys (with their permission) & a title haha
