Things have been different and hard for me since my mom died. Writing is a constant struggle, no longer the release it used to be. It's doubtful I'll ever finish anything bts related again. (I'm currently working on mdzs things). But here's these!

@morangohwa Sadly, this always happens to fandom spaces when money gets involved 😔 censorship always casts a very wide net to cover all the bases. Biting the hand that feeds you however rarely works out in the end. They are gonna lose so much traffic and money.
Is this how I discover that wattpad had PUBLISHED BOOKS on there for y'all to read? I think everyone should have access to books, regardless of their income. Libraries also exist but interesting....
@morangohwa That's so cool actually !! My only interaction with wattpad was having my fics stolen and reposted there constantly, so I have a pretty negative opinion but tbh that isn't the site's fault. I just knew it was a different environment than ao3.
Also to be fair ao3 also has original work(not published books I'm pretty sure), i would know because i used to post some but trust, ain't no one on ao3 to read original work. But I saw ppl say they read the hunger games on wattpad. Makes me wonder if it was the real books or not
Saw a post earlier saying they found some weird shit of a 5 year old and like, my dude... what the actual FUCK were you looking up?!?! How the fuck do you even purposely find that shit? Don't answer that, I dont actually want to know. And they call us the freaks 🙄
I just don't get it. I rarely, if ever, run into the crazy shit they complain about. I understand everyone has different experiences but literally what the fuck are they looking up to find this shit? Even before I excluded the noncon tag from my searches, I rarely found it.
@pyewacket____ Exactly. It's just old lol but it is very user friendly. Once you get it, you've got it because they rarely if ever change anything. Which is so nice when most apps and websites keep changing stuff to "improve it" only to make things worse 😅
People complaining that AO3 is too complicated to use and you need a full step by step tutorial... babe... I came to ao3 back in 2012-13 from ffdotnet... i fucking figured it out on my own, it is not that hard. Y'all are just used to everything being spoon fed to you.
So with WATTPAD going down the ffdotnet route, and with those readers probably shifting over to AO3, AO3 writers if you haven't already NOW is the time to lock your fics. Make it so only ppl with registered accounts can see and comment on them. For your own sanity. Trust me.
Like i am not trying to gatekeep but wattpad readers are a whole different breed. They are used to something vastly different. Also I still got major beef with wattpad because every once in a while I get a message that someone stole my fics and reposted them there so.
And the reason why you guys even have a place to hang out and read your fics is because proper grown ups with real jobs and grown up money created a site for you and hired a whole bunch of lawyers to allow you to write your little fics without getting into legal trouble
no but the way you can physically see that he's emotionally lighter. his burdens have eased. the stress of everything to come is in the past now. he's happy and at peace within himself
I don't go here but I've been seeing this drama all over my TL since yesterday and I gotta say... faking suicide is the absolute most disgusting thing you could possibly do in this situation. This is a fucking joke to them and it pisses me the fuck off. Suicide is never a JOKE.
(I want to be clear I am speaking about the comment and not OP. OP handled that gracefully. I am at that age now where I will tell people to straight up fuck off and that's not always best 😅)
I have seen so many posts like this lately and I just gotta ask... where the fuck did the entitlement come from? Like it's been getting worse and worse but this is insane to me. Where does someone get off thinking this is an okay thing to say to a writer on a FANFICTION
Grow up. Get a job. Go touch grass, literally. GO OUTSIDE BREATHE FRESH OUT PUT DOWN YOUR FUCKING PHONE. Because regardless of the context here, you do not fucking speak to people like this. It is rude, entitled and frankly makes you an asshole.
