Wattpad is so dead. Nobody is active. None of the ~quality~ stuff I read ever gets updated.
Will I have to crawl back to the depths of tumblr? I cannot, for it is far to dark and dangerous. Shall I investigate archive of our own? No I shan’t, for the mature content is far too high for my liking, no sense of fluff nor class. Forced will I be into deviant art? Nonsense, not a soul lurks on that foul site.
I suppose I’ll just have to support all of this site’s activity, being the source of all entertainment for whatever fool finds themselves in this brightly colored fever dream of a story cave. Many of the brightest stories are just as hollow in content as the cave they hide within. Time passed by leaving these stories to squander themselves more and more. Each story had become an exercise in awful world building and generically awful leading men.
“My jerk boss”
“Alpha boss”
“CEO is a vampire?”
“In love with a billionaire?”
Day after day. The more these stories surfaced, the more each creative and even wonderfully written stories became crushed by these typical and insulting drabbles
Yet people loved the familiar. Very few gems have lasted. Fanfiction has been violently stopped by this. Once a creatively flourishing app has become a pit of ‘billionaire boyfriend’ and ‘high school vampire boyfriend.’
It’s exhausted me to no end. The fanfiction that’s lasted here is beginning to get progressively scarier as we continue, the likes of Logan Paul have sufficed as worthy of a “well written” story. Flocks of people lining up to read the same old, and drowning much of the creativity we all once held dear.
