Fan trades:

I bet you're thinking: Fan trades! Who hasn't read about these! But amazingly hundreds of fan trades are made a day! Honestly, there's no shame in asking for someone to critique your writing or promoting your story or even PM-ing someone for help writing. All of these things are ok, asking for a critique is ok (+1 if you don't know the person really well: No feelings no lies. Just the brutal honest truth), promoting (Whether by button or on club forums*) is fine, getting a few extra readers by trying to get some attention is great and posting in clubs can boost your book higher than any vote trade (*If you get the right club!) and collaborating with a few buddies and writing a story can't be beat! And all of these things (I have observed) generally boost fans/readers buy tons (Not a guarantee)! Not only that but in a later time where you're wattpad famous you will regret those fans you faked and if anyone ever finds out (which they do) you will be humiliated, people will de-friend you, they-ll stop reading and all the hard work you did is ruined and you will have to crawl back in the sad hole you came from! WINNERS DONT DO FAN TRADES!

Bad grammar: 

Let me put it this way:

jonny walked over to me. I love you i said but he said i sucked, and vampires dont sparkle even though hes a awesome dude i was like ,N0!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! U R A W3RDO AND NOONE LIKES YOU WIT YOU STUPID FACE U ARNT 2 QT FR ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! @ WHY STEAL MY MONEY ANYWAY!" COZ U R UGLYYYY! JANE CRYS AND RUNS OFF DEN GETS HITTED BY A CAR! D': AND THEN JONNY HOLDS HER! "NO BABEH. I LOVES YOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No, just no. Listen, let me articulate this the way the cool kids do: get an editor, use a dictionary (Virtual or real life) or press that little button at the top of the writing area. See it? ITS CALLED THE SPELL CHECK!

Spelling:

After reading the last rant subject I can imagine you saw this coming, spelling because I assume almost 3 quarters (Don't trust my judgement) of wattpads fan base is teenage girls, there's nothing wrong with that but the sad fact is to them the likes of spell check is unknown. 

Hlelo hwo aer yuo? Ddi yuo konw taht msot teenagres dno't cera abuot teh inetnse stduy of sceintolgoy?

The alarming fact is most of you will be able to read this without a hitch. Its real evidence that not only has this generation shifted towards technology and technology has poisoned our young minds (But we'll get onto that later).

I think we all ought to brush up on our spelling, I mean. You only learn it for like, 12 years of your  school life. You'd think you'd be able to spell words like 'incinerate' and 'elasticity' without needing spell check. -Hint hint-

Fan taker-backers:

Picture this: Just hanging about writing stuff and I see I have a new fan (Live updates you've saved my life again!) and out of good faith I fan them. Give their profile/books a squiz and decide they dont seem to bad. 500 fans! Wow thats like.... 480 more than me! They must be very sociable! Then I look at their fanned..Ohhh... they've only fanned 50 people! I'm so important! . Hours later I found out they had un-fanned me. I'm like to this person (via chat thingy)(And I didn't say it as awesome as this) Yo, you been screwin' wit my feelins. You be unfannin'. You be gettin' upitty. Do I gots ta put you down? Fan me again. I dare ya. Next time I'll get chuck norris to pop a cap in yo ass. 

Hells yes.

It turns out Un-fanning is the leading cause for death by ninjas 

-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_

Anyways, I'm running out of angrys. See ya next week :D

Just remember: Be sure to drink your Ovaltine.

Also: Have a vote on what I should rant on next. The best option will get the suggestor a dedication orrrrrr..... WHATS BEHIND DOOR NUMBER '2'! Make your choice. I've made mine ;)
