His Little Heart

PLEASE READ!!!!! I've had enough.

...............

To my dear readers,

I'm done.

Wattpad, I have no words. ZERO, NONE, ZIP!

So, I don't know when this app decided to pull my work, Another Reality, from here. Okay, so, I may have seen it coming, since April, since they announced my works, along with many other incredible pieces, were no longer acceptable because of their new guidelines. Okay, Another Reality was shadow-banned, yet I still had it within my account, underneath my stories, which I thought was private. Well....how wrong was I.......

A little into this afternoon, I received a message from Wattpad. The message announced Another Reality had and has been removed, and true to their stupid word, it no longer exists (Thankfully, I downloaded my work, my words, my passion, my hobby, my heart, my tears, elsewhere). But, this hit me like a bullet. I somehow feel violated (even though they say I've violated their new regulations), because they went in, without my permission, without my consent, without a nice little heads-up, and scarped my book, a passion project I've spent so much on, away. They probably clicked a button, a very simple delate, and moved on to their next victim.

So, before I go any further, I want to say one thing very clearly: I'm not disputing over how my work isn't in tune with their regulations. I'm fully aware Another Reality has (or had) mature ideas and concepts that violate Wattpad's new image. What I'm pissed (and heartbroken) about is how they deleted my story like it was nothing. No warning, no, hey, just want to let you know we'll be removing your story soon so make your preparations, NOTHING. Just a little message saying they've packed my story into a suitcase and tossed it into an abyss. And, yeah, I wasn't happy when this whole thing started, but this has gone too far.

This hurts.

I can't search up my story I spent so much on. I can't see it in my library, or my "personal" account. I can't look back on what I created, my world and characters, and the amazing encouragement, love, comments, and absolute support my followers and readers have shown me.

I can't believe this is happening.

And, I'm not alone in this.

So many others have gone through this, so many incredible writers that have such amazing stories and talents. My heart shatters for them, and for you, if you've experienced this. I'm so sorry.

I wish I can write more, say more, but I can't right now. I'm writing through tears, and the screen is blurry. I'm so sorry for what's going on, and I hope, and pray, things turn around. Because of this, Escape From Reality and other works, such as His Little Heart, will be put on hold for the indefinite future. You can find me on other platforms, Inkitt and Archive of Our Own, but I don't know when I'll update anything on those platforms.

To those who have been with me from the early days and are still here, thank you. Thank you for reading, thank you for making me laugh and smile and letting me bring my realities to life. Thank you for everything.

All my love and thanks,
