Hello all,
It's been a while. Pretty close to three years, to be exact. A lot has happened in my life since then, and frankly I kind of forgot that I still had an account here. I was shocked when I logged in again to find that people have still been reading Carriers. I would like to say that to all my readers, new and old, I appreciate all of you.
However, two years ago in 2017 Carriers was stolen and published online by a thief. I couldn't afford a lawyer to pursue them, but they also stole numerous other stories from various online authors, so hopefully they have since been brought to justice. On top of this, it is advised constantly in the writing world to not attempt to publish something traditionally that has already been published, and Wattpad counts. I have continued working on a new, exceptionally better draft of Carriers over the last few years. It is still my goal to publish it. The new draft will be so different I believe it would not be considered as previously published. However, I believe it is for the best to take down this old draft.
I am amazed it was ever as popular as it was. I am deeply grateful for all of you who have read, loved, and reviewed Carriers. As people are still reading it, I will take it down on December 1st to allow those of you time to finish reading it. For any fans of the novel, should you want to read the new draft in any fashion, reach out to me. I have found over the years that I write best when I have deadlines to meet, so I'm considering having an email list or something of the sort to churn out chapters. Hopefully one day you could pick up a polished version of Carriers in your local bookstore, but for private documents will have to do.
Thank you again for your readership and support. I will also add this post as a chapter update in Carriers to do my best to make sure everyone reading it is aware of its impending removal.
Best wishes,
A. Nonymous
