Jared: Ughhhhh I don't wanna do this!
Me: Too bad! It'll be funnnnn!
Jared: No it won't. I've seen Connor's ask or dare book. It doesn't look or sound fun.
So. I replied to Wattpad. Kinda since the "Hi!" Made it seem like they wanted me to argue this with them. And before you ask, I did change it back to humor!

I didn't want to reply again, cause I know they have Wattpady business to attend to. BUT LET'S SEE IF THEY SEE THIS!
Firstly, I'd like to say, I'm glad you guys aren't as ticked about this as I am! It makes me less mad knowing none of you care! (You really have to imagine me saying this in like, a comedian's voice. Like John Mulaney.)
So let's start with, Yeah. But if a story's funny. It's considered funny. By everyone. And secondly, I don't think we're THAT random. Mostly cause I'm bad at just abandoning a topic. When you think about it, there's about 5 chapters in this book for one topic, no matter how scattered around they are. It's more like a bunch of mini stories. And the whole, "Helps people find your story" stuff is stupid! No one clicks on the random category, they click on humor! Hunor is more funny than random!
So let's go through what wattpad thinks is "random". "If your story is a collection of random fact" Firstly, I think the only time there were random facts in this story was when I started talking about Hamilton! And even then someone shut me up before I could share more than 5!
"Random pictures": the only pictures in this book are the screen shots. You guys ask questions, and if answering those questions = random, then a YouTube let's play channels making a let's play is out of character and weird!
"Quotes" The only quotes I think I've used in this book are, "Kinky!" That's like, it.
"Old Jokes" WHEN HAVE I EVER USED OLD JOKES?! MY JOKES ARE NEW AND ORIGINAL!
"Non-original content" I AM OFFICIALLY TRIGGERED! I MAY NOT OWN THE CHARACTERS OFF THIS BOOK, BUT I DANG WELL OWN THE IDEAS!
The non-binary child reads out loud, quoting the message. "Roleplaying" they look up from their phone and state in a fake British accent, "Oh, I'm sorry, would you prefer the lay out be like this? And would you prefer if me and my friends left this book just to go roleplay something that happened IN the book?" Their eyes just just scream 'Fite meh'
"Rants" Oh, look at that! The first rant in this book is because of you, Wattpad! *Claps* You must be soooo proud!
"Something that does not tell a story" Like I said before, mini stories. Plus I'd like to think this is either A.) What happened during the musical. Or B.) What happened after highshool.
"Or something similar" I don't even know what to say to this. I don't know what they mean.
AND CAN I JUST SAY, THEY DIDN'T ANSWER MY QUESTION! I asked why they didn't ask people first. Like, I can see someone writing a story about butterflies, unicorns, and flowers and putting it under "Horror" the wattpad team moves it to "Fantasy", and the writer is so busy they don't see Wattpad's message. And what Wattpad DIDN'T know, was in the next chapter of the story, it turns out the butterfly is a soul eating demon, the flowers are supposed to protect the souls of innconest kids, but the flowers wilt because the unicorn stomps on them, so the butterfly eats the children. SO ANYONE SEARCHING FANTASY CAN FIND THIS GORY STORY ABOUT A BUTTERFLY MURDERING CHILDREN.
