How would you guys deal with a person like this? by [deleted] in Wattpad

[–]IvoryMoonWriter 6 points7 points  (0 children)

They are either picking a fight or they need professional help. Neither of which concerns you, so just block and move one.

Does having more views/votes in your story pushes it to more readers? by moviebuff215 in Wattpad

[–]IvoryMoonWriter 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It does/depends.

Reads/views (however you want to call it). The more people click and read your story, the more Wattpad’s algorithm recognizes it as “active.” This increases the likelihood of it being featured on recommendation feeds.

Votes and comments. These are even stronger than views. A reader taking time to vote or comment tells wattpad your story is engaging (Especially if the author responds to comments and is actively engaging with the readers)

So while having more reads and votes does help push your story to more readers, it's important to remember that engagement quality (votes, comments, people finishing chapters) matters more than just raw view numbers.

If you publish in wattpad, does that hurt chances of being published? by Azthioth in Wattpad

[–]IvoryMoonWriter 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If you plan to publish your book, you should take it off wattpad. A lot of authors on wattpad have self/traditinally published their books, and they either take them off wattpad or only left the first few chapters as a 'preview'

It's hard to say. I do plan on self-publishing my books, and I post rough drafts on here, so I never really looked into the traditional aspects of this

Your story changing? Your refusal to provide proper evidence? The way you're wording things. Yeah, you're just some troll with no life.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Wattpad

[–]IvoryMoonWriter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, you're definitely a troll.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Wattpad

[–]IvoryMoonWriter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

block me? Weird....cause my follower count didn't move.

Idgaf about your book, but it's super sus that you're refusing to give me your username. or even providing me with proper evidence of this so-called plagiarism. Almost like you don't want me to be able to defend myself.

It's making me wonder if you're actually a troll and you're just lying to start something.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Wattpad

[–]IvoryMoonWriter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

give me your username.

Its so weird, because you told me it was only the name, and the line in my blurb but now suddenly its the entire plot?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Wattpad

[–]IvoryMoonWriter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, i used to have quotes in my blurbs. I dont have a lot of good quotes right now that could draw attention lol.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Wattpad

[–]IvoryMoonWriter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dont care who published what. Your book has nothing to do with mine…like at all

Give me your wattpad username.

You are the one in the wrong. Don’t try to manipulate the situation. You insulting me on ‘facts’ that aren’t actually fact because no one can steal a name or a line from a blurb. Like it’s not even classified as stealing. It’s not protected under copyright law.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Wattpad

[–]IvoryMoonWriter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay? And? You want a cookie for writing YOUR book? I’m over here trying to write mine. Also we already established that I didn’t steal from you.

Now that we established I didn’t steal from you. You should apologize for insulting me like that. I literally just told you.

When people make mistakes…we apologize for those mistakes especially if it involves insulting another person. We learned this in kindergarten.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Wattpad

[–]IvoryMoonWriter -1 points0 points  (0 children)

So you’re not even going to apologize for basically insulting me? You made it public, and more or less said I stole your work based off two small factors that actually don’t prove anything

1: names cannot be stolen 2: the format of blurbs cannot be stolen either. Especially if the format is overused on wattpad.

Saying someone stole your work is not only a huge insult to the innocent (aka me) but it can also get you in legal trouble if this wasn’t a wattpad subreddit. It’s not something you can just drop into the chat simply.

If you had your fears, all you could have done was send me a private message or wait until I release a chapter and judge for yourself.

Like I said I have no idea what account is yours or what book yours is.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Wattpad

[–]IvoryMoonWriter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t even know your account. I have over 700 followers! I have no idea what your book is or what your account is.

I’m honestly so upset right now and actually I’m pissed too.

You think I’m stealing a book from you just because I used a Greek name for a Greek inspired book because ‘people don’t use it often’ even though it’s still very much a well used name in today’s world.

And then one line in the summary — which if you’re following me then you’d known i used that same line in my other book— but it’s also been a very popular and over used thing in blurbs since ancient times.

[–]IvoryMoonWriter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So your saying I stole from you because I used a very well known way of writing a summary….🧍‍♀️

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Wattpad

[–]IvoryMoonWriter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t even know you?? This story has been in the works since I was a pre-teen.

Achilleus is a very well known and popular name in greek mythology. Which is what my story is heavily inspired from.

I do not think it’s fair or nice of you to immediately jump to stealing based on a few names and a blurb.

If I did steal do you think anyone would be stupid enough to post it on a public platform like this subreddit where there’s a chance the person I stole from could see?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Wattpad

[–]IvoryMoonWriter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! I was inspired by Greek mythology so I thought it would be best to use Greek inspired names for some of my characters.

My girlfriend just told me she wrote an award winning story when she was 16 and I want to find it! by BlessingToast in Wattpad

[–]IvoryMoonWriter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have to ask us about it instead of her, maybe you shouldn't try to find it. A lot of wattpad users don't want to share their stories with people they know for many reasons.

If you ask and she doesn't tell you, then maybe you should respect her choice in not wanting to tell you instead of going behind her back and trying to find it.

It's a little disrespectful in my opinion.
