@iCupcake19 and you're 100% right! like yeah there was the occasional unhinged 2012-esque internet drama but you're right. it makes me a lil sad because poetry isn't as popular as it used to be in general on the internet. like i feel that back then people that didn't usually read poetry would venture into it more? idk. i miss having that wealth of wonderful poetry to go through.
            
            and i feel like everything that's trending on here in terms of books is either all paid authors or stories that were famous like 8 years ago. wattpad is a lil dead tbh. rip. but i still pop on to shout into the void sometimes i guess.
            
            also thank you for replying i am smiling lots now being nostalgic for my semi -chronically-online youth

i doubt anyone will see this (but hi if you do!) -- i created a new collection on here to dump poetry snippets and incredibly drafty drafts if you'd like to check it out.  it's called "ancientscrollslovepoems" (very creatively named after a tumblr of the same name in which i also post them too).
          
          the drafts turned into actual poems will be linked in the comments. but it's basically a poetry dumping ground with the occasional piece of prose.

okay i'm really proud of this random sequel i've been writing as a hobby lately - i'm specifically proud of the tone of the writing and dialect.

going on a deep purge of my wattpad stories, unpublishing a lot of stuff. but it's been super nostalgic to go through it all! i've come a long way since i started writing on wattpad in 2012-2013, but i'm finally starting to go places i've been dreaming about. 
          
          i don't know if i should post on here anymore, since most of my readers are gone. (which is totally cool! it's been a long time!) but i was thinking last week about making a new account to post the novels i've been working on. they're very much "new adult" novels with more mature themes. only a tiny bit less unhinged than what i post on here. 
          
          i'm also the co-editor-in-chief of an upstart poetry lit mag for autistic poets, so if that's your thing, check us out on twitter: https://twitter.com/hyperfocuslit 
          (also here's our linktree: https://linktr.ee/hyperfocuslit )
          
          if you want to find me anywhere else, here's my tumblr which has a lot of info on it: https://juderigor.tumblr.com/
          
          but anyways, hullo. hope everyone who gets this is doing well.

@rigor_samsa i got nostalgic as well and came back to wattpad after a long time to reread old works i'd enjoyed in middle school and early high school. i'm a sophomore in college now, crazy how time flies. seeing this message was really neat and i hope you're doing well too!
