@_onyyx_  Princed is on hiatus! Sorry for the late response, I'm actually more on Tapas and Webtoons than Wattpad for the moment, while I'm getting my stuff together, Princed has been put on hiatus. Although I have the entire story mapped out, it's just a going to have to wait until I'm finished one of my current projects ^^' I'm very glad you like the trash prince tho! He's been very fun to write

@ JODI_A  thanks a lot!

@JODI_A also I should mention that I didn’t get a deal, lol tapas has no idea who I am, but I’m working on getting a following there so maybe they might one day ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Probably less than three dollars for a years work, but with all of Wattpad problems I just decided moving was the right thing for me. (Also Wattpad has a lot of thefts from it because it’s a well known site).). My advice as a very careful author, to create some sort of revenue: 
            
            - you can set up a patreon, and link people to support it.
            
            - post your work on sites that provide incentives and link people to those works so you get more page traffic
            
            -It’s important to note that ANYONE can earn money on Tapas. You don’t have to be a ‘premium author’ there. The premium artists fo get more advertising and advantages, but you can be a small time author starting out and still gain a following which will lead to ad revenue given enough time and if one of the people scouting sees your work you can get a deal but I don’t know how likely this is.
            
            However It can take a long time of thankless, quick updating on Tapas to break through and become noticed (you won’t get access to add revenue until you reach 100 subs) but honestly the offers you get in messages from people on the behalf of starry and dreame and what not lock you into a contract for small amounts of money so they’re not worth it. At no point does tapas own any of your work, that’s what I found most desirable from them.
            
            Best thing: once you get past 250 subscribers on Tapas people can donate to you and readers can watch adds to get points which they can donate to you. (Again it’s not much but something’s better than nothing).

I will never get rid of the whole story on Wattpad, because in all honesty there is so much love and kindness and creativity in the comments that have been left in the discussions that were had. I have always said this in the comments, I love people’s theories, they bring life to my soul. Readers were so much more deep and thoughtful than I ever intended to make my characters, and WAYYYY TO SMART, lol I could never keep my twists a surprise. When I feel like I haven’t done anything worthwhile or my hopes as a writer get let down, I always go back to those pages because they are full of the most heartfelt replies, my wonderful readers who took the time to let me know they were moved by something I had made.
            
            Because of these comments I’ll be keeping the first two chapters up and the thank you page (as well a a couple of the other non-chapters) and I’ll be making a formal authors note at the end of the story to explain where I’ve moved it to so that future readers can check it out if they find it here on Wattpad, but for now, I’ll only be able to be reached on Tapas: 
            
            https://m.tapas.io/series/Netvor-Beauty-and-the-Beast-written/info
            
            The Deadline for the takedown will be : 
            
            September 5, 2020 
            
            so if you do want to read the previous version before it’s taken down, that’s the deadline.
            
            I’m sorry that this has come so quick and I hope if you can, you’ll come support me on Tapas!

@TheMoonCraver thank you, me too ^^

@JMRiddles I hope it worked out!! I wasn’t able to get the third one done, but I do look forward to purchasing it once i get some book cash, we’ve come a long way (you more than me, but still good ^^’)

@RosesnWater That's a good idea. I should probably put my mature chapters back over the censored ones and just let my series be mature. I'm past the point for any chance of ranking, and it's all coming down in a few months anyway. In the meantime, I can at least reduce its risk for getting nabbed.

@RosesnWater  Glad you've avoided them. I feel so sorry for the people who fell for Tencent's promises and got caught in their web.

@JMRiddles first I am sorry about your friend passing away and how she was mistreated, that’s terrible. I agree, usually I keep my head out of it, but it’s really terrifying people can just steal work like this. I’m just glad legally I’ve never signed up with them before, because then I would be in REAL trouble.

@RosesnWater I've been getting tons of private messages and emails from these damn Tencent pushers, and it's been happening for a while. I ignore them or flat out tell them no, but what scares me is China doesn't always take no for an answer. They outright steal intellectual property, and there's nothing you can do about it. It's been out of hand for a while. I had a friend (she's since passed away) who was a famous artist, and her art got stollen by manufacturers in China all the time (they'd slap her art on cell phone covers, mousepads, etc), and she had no legal recourse to stop it. I've heard they'll steal novels and just change names around and say it's theirs. It's a scary time to be a writer or artist.

Oh crap! Usually I just skulk around wattpad and collect books i like, but thanks for taking a look at my stuff! And I really enjoyed your style as well ^^ it has a very fluid abstract feel to it.

@sydahlia lol ohhhhh riiiiiiight crap XP I forgot that song 
            
            Lol maybeeee an ugly heart lol I forgot that had more than one meaning-

@RosesnWater it's Kristoff's song!
            
            But I totally get the metaphor. It is a very common motif in fairytales, and if any two characters are lost, it's definitely those two.
            
            Something about the word "monstrous" doesn't work for me. I think because it could also mean a huge heart.

@sydahlia oh nooo, where is it in frozen 2???ಠ_ಠ
            
            (this is going to fly over everyones head so bear with me) i actually thought ’Lost in the Wood’ as a possible commercial title because in fairytales the forest is generally a metaphor for the subconcious and in the sense aceline and armel are kind of lost im their subconciois before finding one another. But yah, i may be stickimg with netvor for tue meantime because it works so well. Tho i was also tossing arond ’A Monstrous Heart’ but im not too sure on that yet....
