I've been sick for a couple of months and working my way back into public.  Sorry I've been gone so long, just so much going on. Trying hard to get back on some type of schedule while dealing with my issues.  Hopefully I can start this with some tentatively scheduled chapter updates.

I guess all I was trying to say was, why do you have it in the story? Like it's against wattpads rules. I know that you run wcx but that doesn't mean that you are above everyone else. The same rules need and should apply to you. And that's why I (and others) will be reporting your account because it's violating the wattpad rules.

@iamRodneyVSmith I already reported, and I will keep doing so. And I will encourage others to do the same.

@MarkAwrites I don't know what to tell you. It's already been vetted by Wattpad and they hold the rights to the book and its sequel.  As I've already explained, there is nothing explicit, all implied and it is not promoting an act of sexual violence. Go ahead and report it. I do not condone pedophilia or sexual violence in any form and I don;t skirt any rules here. If you think Wattpad should review this book in line with their rules then you'll have to talk to them about it.

@iamRodneyVSmith the rules say the age of consent  (stories that deal with rape are also in this) is 18+ on wattpad. That means you can't have a story that has 2 underage characters having sex. It does not mater that the story has been here since 2017. Literally, you cant say anything that makes this okay.
            
            Yeah, its Canefield Killer

The anthology I've been working on with 39 other amazing Wattpad authors is finally live! We've got some amazing short stories, starting with THE PROPHET from @druidrose:
          
          He has come to save us all! 
          
          Aaron received a message in the fog that could save humanity and he’s determined to share it with everyone, if only they will stop to listen. 
          
          But they don’t. And they won’t. Instead, every time he opens his mouth, people react in very strange ways. 
          
          Don’t they know he has a message that could save the world?

          Check out @WritersConnX to read “The Prophet” by @druidrose now!

The Prologue chapter I wrote for the @writersconnx anthology 30 DAYS TO SAVE THE WORLD is now live!
          
          The Alien Invasion has begun…
          
          And Harlan is NOT having a good time. 
          
          But when you find yourself abandoned by 9-1-1 after an enormous alien ship spontaneously appears above the Waffle House, well… there’s not much to do except panic a little. Or a lot.
          
          Now Harlan, the Waffle House crew, and people around the globe have to grapple with an uncomfortable truth: 
          
          Aliens are real. 
          
          And they’re here. 
          
          Right above the Waffle House.

I've been putting together an EPIC anthology of Wattpad writers and its almost time to launch.  The campaign for the 30 DAYS TO SAVE THE WORLD has begun.
          
          This anthology is a wild ride across genres, emotions, and the human experience itself! Picture this: a mammoth alien craft, over a thousand miles wide, looms ominously over North America. In 30 days, it might all be over. Or so it seems. This summer, we plunge into an emotional whirlpool - daring heroics, romance in unlikely places, intense drama, spine-chilling horror, and yes, a sprinkle of sci-fi. All from the imaginative minds of your favorite Wattpad writers. 
          
          It's a celebration of humanity's spirit in the face of the ultimate challenge. It's about how we laugh, love, fight, hope, and survive, all under the shadow of impending doom. It's about us. It's about you.
          
          And we need your support in helping us share it with readers across the globe. 
          
          HOW CAN YOU HELP? 
          Follow this link for more information! It's going to be HUGE!

Dear Rodney V. Smith:
          The reason I am writing to you is because I need some professional editing for free on Wattpad for a story of mine. I don't know if you are willing to do it, but I am in desperate need of some editing on my book for the Wattys this year, and I believe that you may help me or at least know of someone who may be able to offer editing feedback on my book for free.
          Since you're a Watty Award winner from some years past, I was hoping to get some feedback on where to edit my book and how to edit it using American SPAG (that's British for spelling, punctuation, and grammar) for the Wattys. Even though I am not a horror fan, I did write out the first book in a YA dystopian sci-fi series with a neurodiversity-representation character. I have autism spectrum disorder, and I believe that the world needs more neurodiverse literary characters like mine. (In case you were wondering, neurodiversity is a representation branch where people's minds work differently from the "typical" sort and is being represented in this year's Wattys as a representation category within the submission form, along with BIPOC representation.)
          If you need any information about what book I need to represent in the Wattys this year, please click on the link to my profile and message me on my MB. I hope you have a very wonderful day, and I wish you the best of luck with your stories!
          Sincerely, 
          @meroceank8921
