As we know, wattpad has been bought by webtoon, hence wattpad's post on January 19 of 2021

Though before this post, we knew that wattpad has changed their algorithm around by A LOT and that put stress on writers.
Including how since the joint of wattpad and webtoon, they have been deleting good books all because of the mature content involved.
Now I understand that the reason behind it is because they wish to make the platform more "kid friendly" 😶
Baby, we all been knew that wattpad was never a kid friendly place because of the amount of smut and mature books in general 🙄✋🏽 and the things that go down in general as well-
Like I said, it's really stressing for writers because some of the topics we chose for our stories go along the more mature rout , at least those that are like aware? I guess you can say to this side
For my instance, as you know I have a book for Fred and George out, in which I have put a warning in the "first chapter" saying that there will be mature scenes- of course I don't think wattpad will care :// but I have been scared to continue writing because of this, the fear of having my book being taken down or deleted permanently...
You may have also noticed that in the last updates I have been having slight smut warnings- the reason why is because the decision I made with myself that when I turn 18 I would slowly introduce the idea of smut into my writing depending the flow of the chapter of course. So knowing about the new algorithm, the fear that this book being deleted is really high along with my anxiety due to it.
I have had this book for 4 years now, so uh there is sentimental feelings attached here 🙂
Basically to wrap this up, I have been thinking about not writing on wattpad anymore 🧍🏼
I still don't have a full blown idea on where I will take my Fred and George book, I might take it to Inkitt (which I will put a photo of how my account looks like just in case I end up there) or I take it to ao3 (again I will have to figure out how that works completely cause I'm new to reading on ao3)
Also if we haven't noticed im into kpop, reason I bring this up is because on tumblr I have been writing drabbles and imagines here and there on kpop groups, so far NCT. (Will paste a photo of how my account page looks like I'd you are interested to look it up)

I will still have my books on here for you to continue reading! I just won't be updating and writing onto here anymore - I'm also sorry to those that have requested 😭 it eats at me all the time that I can't deliver your full request
Hoping you all understand ❤️
