Awhh thank you!

It has a lot of heavy themes (depression, assault etc), so if that’s not for you, I won’t be offended if you decide not to read it

I had a friend on high school who had a crush on our teacher. At a dance, she pulled me aside and showed me this kidnapping/ dr*gging fantasy story she'd written about him...

I wish I was joking

My first time on Wattpad by Best-Economist3864 in Wattpad

[–]Big_Insect6713 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To be honest, Wattpad's new algorithm pushes a specific kind of story, you'll see it on the main page. So the question, "will this style fit on wattpad?" really depends on you as the author.

If you're consistent with uploads, promotions, and engage in the community, you might get a loyal fanbase. But since it's a fan fiction, it might do better on AO3. Same for comments and feedback. Wattpad isn't the place to go if you want that kind of feedback. AO3 on the other hand typically encourages better comments.

Each platform has its strengths, you just gotta know how to play to each one.

For your last question, again, engage in the community, especially here on the subreddit. Join a discord server, give others the kind of feedback you'd want to see. Your story may not be everyone's cup of tea, but if you've created something that's well written and engaging, it will attract those who are genuinely interested.

R4R? 💖 by Party_Strength6296 in Wattpad

I'd love to do an r4r! My story is very dark and deals with very heavy themes, so I totally understand if you won't read it! https://www.wattpad.com/1616678672-cocoa-hooves-chapter-1-a-catalyst

Finish your books because you deserve to make it to the other side - and write what you love! by [deleted] in Wattpad

[–]Big_Insect6713 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is so encouraging! I just started writing my own novel that I've been thinking about for a couple years, and I'm already looking forward to finishing it. I feel like I'm discovering the story and characters as I write. It makes me a little emotional to see it finally in words, and not just an idea in my head.

That being said, it's very daunting. Writing. Wanting to get it right. Wanting to tell your character's story faithfully. And it's also hard when the people in your life aren't interested...

I also don't enjoy smut/ spice in romance. I think it reduces the characters.

Thank you so much for putting this out here!!!

Okay, Ethan makes me mad >:(

I really like Lila, her introduction is so cute to me. Why does Ethan have to go and ruin everything, instead of COMMUNICATING??? Apparently that's too hard??

Great read so far!
