FAQ (please read before commenting)

—can you please republish *insert story* on wattpad?

the answer is, unfortunately, no. i'm leaving wattpad completely, and i want all of my works on ONE platform. that way, if i get notifications about it, i won't have to juggle two platforms in order to read through feedback or comments.

also i nearly broke my back reorganizing this fic on tumblr so i'm def not gonna undo all that work by republishing on wp lmao

—i don't know how to use tumblr

to be frank, i didn't know how to use wattpad three years ago lol. you can learn to use apps. we're in a generation full of technology, so i'm sure you can manage. if not, i have a tutorial down below so FEAR NOT

—i'm not allowed to download tumblr/i can't download another app

tumblr is an excellent website as well! you can easily make an account there. i recommend the pc version, but the mobile website works fine too

—are you really leaving wattpad?

yes. i wanted to leave a year ago and i was planning to do so in 2021. but when covid-19 hit, i figured i could make do of my extra leisure time and start up my tumblr platform a bit earlier than planned

—why are you leaving wattpad?

i mostly feel as if i've outgrown wattpad. but i'm also not a fan of the immaturity i've seen on this app. i've had a lot of uncomfortable encounters in the past, so i'm leaving also to join a more mature community

i actually really really wanted to leave around april/may but i had to finish up a story before i made my official departure. i was starting to get a lot of comments that were mentally taxing for me to read. comments that told me to 'educate' myself or, in general, just being rude to me. i'm not sure if the comment writers meant for me to read their comments, but i literally read every comment so... being on wattpad doesn't make me happy anymore. going on this app makes me feel more dread and annoyance than anything. it's the hard truth that i would like to admit out loud

—why tumblr though?

ohohohoho. a lot of reasons. here:

WHY I'M MOVING TO TUMBLR

—oneshots are for me

i hate dragging things on. i was never really a novel writer, too. i've always had an affinity for short stories and tumblr serves as the better platform to post oneshots!

—tumblr allows me to customize everything

and by everything, i fucking mean everything. i literally coded my own website! i chose the design, the colors, the pictures, the layout!! i feel like my tumblr platform is a lot more specialized—it feels unique to me and only me. plus,,, as a hoe for organizing, i'm able to organize everything any way i want it to be! idk about you but that shit excites me a LOT
