@Squirrelsreadbooks I agree with this! People argue that we can use MBs, but what about conversations/details we don't want to share with the world? Smh, it feels like Wattpad really rushed through this decision

@sarah3534 yup ... all the lovely communication between myself and some wonderful writers and fellow readers gone. No more sending a little note to privately check in on people, who may not want their private life posted for all to see.

My stories are now on Kerning. My extended novel edition of ‘Wildflower’ will be exclusive to Kerning under a paywall soon.

@Nyhterides It’s in it's infancy with platform features still in the works but a good community vibe on their discord so far with some familiar faces.

Heads up--For any readers of Covet it will shortly be moving to the new writing site Kerning where all writers have monetisation options.

With the removal of DM soon, all of the creepy “Hello, sweetheart” messages will apparently be forced to my public message board instead. So, this post is for any up-and-coming creepers: No—it’s not okay that you reached out. No—just because it's your only way of contact doesn’t make it right. No—this is definitely not Tinder and I am down for whatever Watt-weridness you have planned.

@sarah3534 the trolls and creeps are going to be writing on our walls. Getting rid of the DMs isn't going to make anything better.

Wattpad age of consent in stories is moving to 18+ years on April 15th this year. That’s a lot of coming-of-age content that may find themselves deleted if the character ages within them are not changed and there is depicted sexual content in any form. https://www.wattpad.com/1436342697-news-updates-upgrading-our-moderation-capabilities

Thanks for the 3k reads on Covet https://www.wattpad.com/story/303722162-covet "Thunder and solar eclipses used to be considered supernatural. It's only a label until a scientist proves it with their biased rulebook. Once they do, it just becomes nature. What if there was a different rulebook?" A PARANORMAL ROMANCE: Homesick for Georgia, Dana must wait three summer months in Benton for probate to clear on her estranged grandmother's estate or face losing her inheritance. Chased by a loan shark she owes a debt to, Dana turns to local mechanics, Paul and Luke, for protection. But when the charismatic brothers withhold secrets scarier than the criminal hunting her, she soon realizes Benton serves another purpose. The town plays by a different rulebook. Dead doesn't always mean buried. Her return may no longer be the coincidence she once thought it was, and the very essence of what it means to be ‘free’ becomes threatened. ******************************************* ['Twin Peaks' meets 'Invasion of the Body Snatchers' meets Colleen Hoover down a dark alley--trust me on this mash up.]
