The Struggles Of Living The Wattpad Life

The Three Types Of People On Wattpad

Anyone can tell you that the real world is full of different types of people. Similarly, Wattpad has three generic people who can be easily identified. Maybe you're on of them- maybe you're one of those difficult people who have an entire other genre all your own because you're just that weird. 

Weird is good, though so don't take that the wrong way. Weird is the new English, darling, it's the new now. 

Anyway, without further ado, I give you the three types of people on Wattpad.

ONE: THE READER. Now, don't get me wrong. Everyone who makes a Wattpad account is a reader of some sort- since we all came here to find us some juicy fan fiction, probably involving Hermione Granger or Bucky Barnes. 

But the truth is that the Readers are different from the others- all they do is read.

Like many people, they use Wattpad as their easy-to-access library. And while they could tell you about their favorite fonts and profiles on Wattpad, people like me have to much high standards to read just anything. 

But to the Readers, a book that looks really crappy is just another opportunity to discover something new. They more than likely have over seven reading lists. And they don't even bother to tidy up their private library, because they know there is no hope in even attempting to delete a single book. 

They have the Bucky fan fictions piled high. 

In a nutshell, the Readers are the type of Wattpad user we all desire to be; yet only some have the devotion and the interests to truly be a Reader that so many strive to become. 

TWO: THE WRITER. These people are the true super heroes of Wattpad. They provide countless stories for others to read; they are literally just a creative ball of writing energy. They are the people what when they update their books, the Readers squeal in front of their screen. They are the people that send Readers to the kitchen to make a bowl of popcorn or grab a jar of Nutella. They are the ones everyone is jealous of; and while we all want to be as dedicated as a Reader, one can't help but wish they were as awesome as a Writer.

Writers consider Wattpad to be their work. Of course, it's work that they love- but on Wattpad, everyone is always looking for an update. So in perspective of a Writer, if your story is popular or even if it's not, you want to update your story ASAP but you know it's difficult to sit down and write 1000 words a day and keep the story interesting.

As a sort of Writer myself, I can say that Writer's mind is full of ideas and so many plans for future protects it's almost overwhelming. Some profiles have 44 stories published for a reason- a Writer's mind can't stop thinking.

As a result of all the ideas in their head, they have mastered the Speed Force. They can type up anything in 1.9 seconds flat- and they do it with pride.

Unless, of course, their worst enemy grabs hold of them- Writer's Block. 

Thankfully, though, they've never disappointed us when it comes to writing at the speed of light and giving us an exiting new update. Never change, Writers- we are always thankful for the stories you give us!

THREE: THE REAPER. I know what you're thinking. 'Wait- a reaper? Wth is that? Is it that stupid black thing from Sims? Is she calling me a Sim? This son of a b-' Well,hold up and calm down. The word 'Reaper' the word for someone who harvests crops- hence:

reap·er  ˈrēpər/noun  -a person or machine that harvests a crop  -short for Grim Reaper

A Reaper is both a skilled Reader and a skilled Writer. They can type up comments just as fast- if not faster- than a Writer can. They can click on any story and read it, enjoy it, mentally edit it, and comment their opinion in seemingly three seconds. They are the people who use Wattpad like a pro.

Now, these people don't even have to be popular. They can have 5 followers and be the best reader, writer, and editor anyone could hire. They can have 70K followers and still be a Reaper. 

A Reaper may be super social online but is more than likely an anti-social introverted nerd in real life- don't worry kids, if you're like this, you're like me. 

In conclusion, the profile of a Reaper is more than likely full of reading lists, published stories, comments, posts, and probably has a huge bio. But nevertheless, these Reapers use Wattpad better than anyone else could. And they make everyone else look like wimps.

Still, we love you, Reapers. 

CONCLUSION. So, for the time being, I have listed three major groups in Wattpad. I hope you've enjoyed reading about me making fun of myself. 

Maybe you don't think you're one of these people. Maybe you're in denial. Soon, though, I plan to break those groups down into even smaller groups- but until then, go watch Marvel movies and be a happy little smiley butter roll!

And until next time, get to the chopper.
