hey my loves. just here stopping by and i saw wattpad took away direct messaging? i’ve met such amazing people on this app in my six years here, and to have a company who’s goal is to seemingly make this the worst experience possible pains me. time after time, not only i but for other creators too, have had our hard work deleted (for no reason whatsoever) and it really makes me wary to post here ever again. i’ve seen such brilliant authors and close friends leave one after another and i personally can’t blame them. wattpad is not and has not been the same in such a long time and i highly doubt that they’ll change in their ways. this isn’t a goodbye at all (i hate goodbyes anyways), it’s just insane to me to see such a wonderful place that was filled with so much love and sense of community is now sitting behind a paywall and bs updates that nobody asked for.
enough of that rant though. i hope everyone has been doing exceptionally well and is surrounded by light and love <3

@bourgeoistingzzz agree 100!!! WTFP is definitely not the same and getting worse. Have any of you writers looked at royalroad.com?

Hi, @bourgeoistingzzz, yes to everything you said. It’s gotten to the point where I fear logging on, trepidatious as to whether my words will still be or not be there. It’s scary. I love our WP family and the many reading options available that I fear may soon only be available for a price. Are we being weened out?!? It’s so sad.

@bourgeoistingzzz I think you feel and speak for us all here. I don't know what the hell is going on, but it's obviously money and greed driven, and not a need to provide a platform for writers. I'm so unhappy this is happening to people we've all come to know as friends in our shared community. I hope you don't stop writing, unless the urge leaves you, or our guys are being idiots again. Hope to see another of your masterpieces here again soon. <3
