Tip #7: Requesting To Be Requested

And so, we arrive to the final tip of the How To Fanfic, the final step in the arduous Fanficcer journey. Some said "Nah!", few loathed it, most just loved it (Say no more, I know everything!). But I can't put the "completed" stamp and leave without a few notes approaching the infamous task of requesting folks to check out one of your scribbles.

You see, in Roman times, you'd need to get out and hunt for possible readers. You'd put on your sandals, grab your book and go by foot in search of the possible philosopher capable of reading it, praying that he'd be still in the cave you found him at six months ago. And when and if you got to find some, you'd have to endure the monstrous sight of his conceited twitches throughout the ten lines of papyrus you wasted before your pen supposedly ran out of ink.

But now, in the twenty-first-ish century nowadays, a writer can be read in total anonymousity, and hence, you tend to lose control between those who don't really read your books, and those who inevitably end up breaking the promise  of checking them due to their own personal agenda as Wattadders (check Tip #6)

Then, how To Legally Get More Views on All The Stories You Don't Own?
As a matter of fact, Wattpad has forbidden vote requests, so if you want to beat the already broken algorithm, you'll need to do at least one of the following:
- Be an active member of the forums (if you aren't already, start working on it NOW)
- Post regularly on the "Share Your Story" thread
- Take your time to write an engaging bio on your profile page
- Be on the lookout for contests, book clubs and Wattpaders who mention your book
- Share your profile outside of Wattpad, as some of your friends may give additional insight

That's it! If you're still in doubt, ask the community for help... not me, not a chance... This month I'll be busy working on my next feature Chicklit from the confort of the Bahamas 8-) JK If you need any more help, or you just need to praise how much happiness this guide has brought you, please comment on the box below. And if you enjoyed any part of it, please take the time to vote on this and every other chapter you found deserving such praise.

Thanks for reading.
Take care,
