Hey author here so I've got an announcement to make....
It's nothing serious and no I'm not going to stop writing anytime soon
And no I'm not going to abandon this story either...
I have like four more chapters it just needs some work and more adjustments...
This announcement isn't about that!
This announcement... is about...
Wattpad... I'm done with this shit...
Don't get me wrong I loved this platform I've been writing since 2015 but ever since then I've noticed that....
Wattpad isn't the same platform I fell in love with...
The old community I remember was not here anymore...
The stories I have bookmarked that I have in my old account are mostly gone and deleted...
So many of my friends quit this piece of shit of a...
...
*SIGH*
I just can't handle it anymore... I can't... Wattpad didn't change it never did... for many of us....
The fact that it remains the same platform as it once was.... rather than improving the other stuff that only exist instead only got worse....it's... sad to say the least.
I mean yeah there are many minor changes here and there but it's just not enough....
It just feels like Wattpad doesn't care anymore.... writing just doesn't feel the same.... reading is annoyingly irritating when there's shit left and right....you know
ADS & SH*T!?
Plus the annoying notifications that I get on my phone when I thought a story has finally updated... but f*ck no they just want to tell you that you should try f*ckin PREMIUM.
Like wtf I'm done with this platform.... I have been a damn writer for 6 years.... wishing that this place would improve...
Spoiler alert.
IT FUCKING DID NOT.
...
I stop writing for 3 years from 2017 to 2020... I had depression and took a long break...
And when I returned I noticed that most of my followers and following accounts are.... mostly gone.... deleted... terminated... or decided to move somewhere else... I mean I can't blame them... I don't have any more options for this platform....
So the only option I've got is moving to AO3 as I've noticed in recent years that AO3 has become better in terms of accessibility in writing and reading.... sure it doesn't have a good interface as good as Wattpad....but it is tiring to write on a platform that refuses to improve or just do better....
Like seriously how the fuck is a free platform a thousand times better over a website/app that has over 400 million worth of money HOW!?
The moment they added the 15 limit offline stories I completely stopped reading in this website/app for a long time, and I've noticed that Wattpad lacks so many major shit that I just can't ignore anymore....
But I'm not going to delete the stories here.... I'm going to leave it as it is... and I'm going to start uploading in AO3... it may take some time as I still got to figure out how to upload an image, gifs, and videos in the story...
But I refuse to stay here any longer.
This platform has so many people with passion for both writing and reading... only for Wattpad to extinguish that flame the moment they try it here...
It did happen to me once.... I had my old account with 5 stories with different genres... I tried experimenting on which stories I'm best at but I only managed to finish 3.... I absolutely loved writing when I was a kid.... and I wish that passion stayed with me....
But.... I can't hate Wattpad... it was one of the things that made me a writer.... it's community... its stories intrigue me... inspired me to become one.... but their stories now?... and most of them... aren't here anymore.... It changed....
Most of my friends said that Wattpad killed their passion for writing.... and I think I understand why....
it's an unexplainable feeling but I feel the same way... Wattpad killed my passion for writing... and the moment I came back it was all so different... yet somehow it feels the same... like it never change it only gotten worse...
Anyways moving on my name on AO3 is Falchion27
Also one more thing...
There's a reason why their motto change from 'Stories you'll love' to 'Where stories live' which is fucking ironic because this is where good stories get buried under the pressure of thousands of unoriginal fucking stories posted by horny *ss 12 years old.
I am done with this platform.
That is all, thank you for your time.
