Wattpad Refugees ;-;

Here as well. Such a sad thing that happened I just hate that Wattpad is literally removing the place where people promote their stories and meet new friends without a replacement.

Although Tapas is my main platform I've been cross-posting to Wattpad for awhile. Over the last few weeks, I'd been using the site more and enjoying the forums. I can't believe they keep pretending to care about smaller writers after making the decision to delete the forums. Between the data breach, increased glitches and shutting the forums the site is no longer fun. I want some feedback from the awards I've entered but I'm not sure how much longer I'm going to keep posting to the site.

For the first time, I was actually starting to enjoy my time there

I've been on Wattpad since 2013 but I've been looking up this site before the issue on the Forums. I was reluctant because mine story is not a popular genre and it is not a comic. But the forum shut down kind of pushed me here too. They said they will bring back the forum but I think no one knows when. It's rare to find people who kind of get you. If that is the proper term. Needed to talk to, or at least watch running conversations on writing.

otaku_rose 2020-08-02 04:12:28 UTC #14

MadelineATucker 2020-08-02 04:14:11 UTC #15

me too ;-;
i didn't know it would need this much work eek

I'm good as well. just a little anxious about this whole new process with tapas ;-;

otaku_rose 2020-08-02 04:19:22 UTC #16

i was nervous too but I'm actually had more success here than on wattpad. And i think it has a lot to do with the forums and algorithm.

yeah cutting down my work has been rough... oooof

MadelineATucker 2020-08-02 04:21:49 UTC #17

that's good to hear and i have been looking around the forums trying to see some tips and tricks on getting activity and stuff. do you have any tips for getting your book out there on tapas?

vbsdhvbhsdbsd don't even mention it ;-;
I've never edited a novel this much and it's not fun right now

otaku_rose 2020-08-02 04:49:16 UTC #18

I definitely advertise on the forum and I also make sure to have multiple updates in a week.
Hopefull that helps you.

seriously the worst!

MadelineATucker 2020-08-02 04:56:46 UTC #19

okie! thank you so much ^-^

otaku_rose 2020-08-02 06:48:32 UTC #20

MadelineATucker 2020-08-02 06:54:26 UTC #21

That... is actually not cool. If there is a place on the web that's a jerk I just leave and go find somewhere else, not hack the website and get innocent ppl involved . Also, if that's the kind of users on there, then I don't really want to be associated with them at all. I think I am going to close my wattpad soon as I am not comfortable with the news about the mods, the security issues and these users.

MadelineATucker 2020-08-04 06:30:19 UTC #26

yeah, i used to be an OP for a series for undiscovered writers on WP and constantly, we would get our threads closed just for new people self-advertising (which isn't allowed in any other section except one). and let me point out the fact that these people on the forums were new. Instead blaming the new people for breaking the rules, maybe the mods should've made the forums rules a little more accessible. we proposed that to them and all they did was close our discussion down.

like damn
don't need to do a whole community like that o-o

I remember one time on WP I was part of this big group, and then I went offline for a day. I came back and like the whole gang just disbanded. One of them created a new thread and was basically telling almost everyone from the original group to stay out. I was just like …???? What did I miss??? I still have no idea what happened, but that was...interesting?
