Hey everyone, hope you all have been doing well.
          
          I'd like to say thank you. My Obey Me! book has reached 3k views. It's been weird having to go through this process again of slowly seeing an increase in views when the book itself had already gained many in the past. I feel like a small fish in a big pond once more. It's a rather humbling experience.  
          
          As some of you might've noticed I've been away for an entire month or more. To be honest, my break wasn't suppose to be so long, but things became hectic. On top of that, it finally caught up to me that more than half my work is just gone. It's been a slow burn of just falling deeper into a mental state that makes me feel sad and tired. I don't wish to feel this way and I'm trying to best to move forwards after I had said I would. I don't want to disappoint anyone and more than anything, I don't want to disappoint myself. I love writing, it's my passion, but I suppose that's why it's hit me in a place I can't quite describe. 
          
          Making promises and keeping them is certainly something I haven't been good at for a long time. So, without making any, I just hope that I'll be back soon. 
          
          Thank you so much for all your support. It truly means a lot to me.

Hey guys, I know I said that I'll be taking a break when Section One is finsihed, but since I'm on a roll I decided to just push through.  So, I have a mass update for the first half of Section Two ready. You can expect it by tomorrow/later today. 
          
          Please give my oneshots a re-read, I've changed some things and I think it sounds better than it did before. Plus, it would really help me get my book out there again. So, if  could be a little shameless, please vote as well. It would mean so much.
          
          After the mass update, I will be taking a break. You can look forward to the requests which I was suppose to publish on Wednesday, that I'll be publishing on Tuesday this coming week instead. 
          
          As always, thank you all for supporting me. I wouldn't be so strong willed if it weren't for you!

Hey guys, just letting you know that my appeal still hasn't even been seen. I feel like my choice to go ahead and rewrite was for the best. I doubt I'll be able to get a response. So, moving on is what's best to do.
          
          Other than that, my current plan is to finsih up editing Section One. Hopefully by tomorrow everything will be up. 
          
          I'll be taking a short break from updating after that, but I'll be working on editing and rewriting Section Two. Not sure how long that's going to take me. I'm thinking about a week or  so max, depending on how fast I can write. 
          
          Also, any requests will be up by Wednesday.

Hey guys, I just want your opinion on something.
          
          I know I'll be putting pressure on myself for doing this, but I was honestly so close to finishing my main book. I was literally four parts away from being finished with it.
          
          I was planning on doing a Book 2 because I thought the book was getting a bit too full.
          
          Now that everything's happened and I'm planning on rewriting my past scenarios and oneshots, I still want to put some fresh content out there.
          
          So, basically what I'm asking is, would you guys want a Book 2? Especially for those you have read everything already from my main book, I'm sure you wouldn't want to reread everything. 
          
          And please don't worry about me. I'm asking this because I want to do this, I just want someone else's opinion. 

Lastly,
          
          Since I take screenshots of everything and anything, I was digging through some last night in hopes I could find anything relating to my writing.
          
          Remember I had written 4 sections of my main book? I happened to screenshot most of the titles of the scenarios and oneshots ; and even some of the content within each one. 
          
          I know this doesn't seem like much, but I remember most of what I've written for each scenario and oneshot due to it being really obvious with each title lol.
          
          I'm planning on rewriting everything. I have the will to do so and I won't give in. 
          
          Thank you! 
          
          
          
          

Secondly, 
          
          I'll be giving them tomorrow/Tuesday as a benefit of the doubt thing. Perhaps by some miracle they reach out to me.
          
          After that, I think I'll know my answer. 
          
          As much as I want to get my books back and how frustrated I am, them taking so long to answer is what upsets me the most. 
          
          

Firstly,
          
          I've been doing some further digging about this situation. I noticed they had revised their Content Guidelines on the 2nd April, two days before my books were removed. 
          
          This means that their revised (changed) guidelines, are much stricter and therefore is why my books were taken down. 
          
          Another thing, oneshots and scenario books are highly likely to get their books removed/deleted because they deem sex without "a story" to be a big no-no ; apparently oneshots and scenarios don't count as being a story. 
          
          My point is ; I probably wont get my books back. Also judging by the fact that they haven't gotten in touch about my appeal after 5 days (well, 3 working days) me tells me enough. 
          
          
          
          
          To those who write scenarios and oneshots with sexual content, I urge you to please be wary of that and to backup your writing. These newly revised content guidelines will not be lenient towards you.
          
          Thank you.

Hey everyone, just a quick update involving my appeal to get my books back. 
          
          It's been frustrating me because I'm constantly checking every 2 hours or so, but my appeal remains the same. No one has seen it yet even after 3 days. So, it's not much of an update really, but I've decided that the next time I check will most likely be Monday night. I can't do it to myself. 
          
          Leaving it at that, it doesn't exactly look too good for me. 
          
          For the past hour I've been backing up my drafts into secure documents. They won't ever be lost now.
          
          Luckily even if I don't get my main book back, it's not lost. At least, not entirely. In 2021 a lot of Obey Me! Books were getting removed. This encouraged me to move them onto another website. I've mentioned this before. Sadly, only Section 1 and half of Section 2 are there. Still, not entirely lost. 
          
          I'm not a very optimistic person, but I'm hoping that something good can come of this even if the outcome I'm looking for doesn't happen. 
          
          I'll update you guys again on Monday/Tuesday.
          
          Thanks! 
          

I've just sent through an appeal. Not sure when they'll get back to me or if I'll even be able to get my books back. 
          
          I'm still unsure of what I could've done wrong. My work was by no means so overly explicit and most of it was written without even being explicit in the slightest.
          
          Someone must've really not liked my writing. Lol
          
          But in all seriousness if this doesn't get sorted out, thank you to everyone who has been supporting me from the beginning and thank you for making me a better writer even though this happened. Couldn't be more pleased with myself that my book managed to get 500k views. 
          
          Thank you guys so much for everything.

No ways. I can't believe it. Just when I was updating things my work gets deleted and removed. Just like that. It's all gone because I apparently violated Wattpads terms and conditions. 
          
          I'm going to be trying to sort this sort guys and if not, I don't even know what I'm going to do. I feel kinda numb now because of this. It really sucks.
