@Blu_Koral
My little miraculous rainbow baby entered the world a few days ago. Carrying him successfully to 40 weeks was beyond challenging, but bringing him into this world was worth every moment of the struggle, and now I need to focus on healing, and bonding with my pride and joy. For the next little while I think he’ll be on the receiving end of all of my story telling endeavors.
For those looking to read my works on A03, here is the link.
I have only posted up to chapter 15 however.

@Djdime I can’t guarantee how quickly I’ll update. TNO was deleted while I was in the middle of re-ordering all the chapters. So the original version is gone completely, and the version that I was in the process of editing/re-ordering all the chapters is still completely out of order beyond the fifteen chapters I posted yesterday. I’ve been slowly trying to make sense of it these past several months, but it’s still an ongoing process at this point.
Hi, I just came back for TNO after remembering it after YEARS and then I hear Wattpad is being their usual self... I'm so sorry what happened. I read that story is in contract with Wattpad and you have to wait for it to run out before you can post it on a different site. Are you able to tell us when that would be? I was so happy to find your story again and was ready to binge read it again
I would love to see it on Ao3 in the future! Hope you're doing well and can get a little rest in the mean time
@Lovergirl414 Thank you. I appreciate your support. I am ready to attempt to tackle the learning curve.
@Blu_Koral AO3 can definitely have a learning curve but once you get it, it makes everything so much easier to manage. I use it more as a reader, but I would love to help in any way I can! Extra eyes or a helpful hand to lend support can do wonders to elevate the stress of feeling like you have to figure everything out on your own. No matter what, everyone here supports you and wants you to succeed!
@_Fenrir_ I have indeed been super frustrated with the entire situation… I never wanted to have to take down my stories… but not much I can do about it, other than learn a new platform, or wait it out. I will definitely try Ao3 again. I just need to see if I can log in still, or if I’m locked out again. I’ve heard good things about the platform. I am just awful with technology - it takes me forever to get comfortable using new platforms/devices.
What...happened to all your stories?
I'm bored and need to stay awake so I came for a refresh, and they're gone!
@elizaf6969 I’ll honestly never understand flagging/banning or outright destroying a story just because some people do not enjoy reading it. There are lots of stories I don’t enjoy reading… I just close the book and find a new one to read. I can even understand banning content though - if they didn’t destroy it. It’s not that difficult to contact a writer and ask them to remove their content from the platform. Or, make it private/a draft/un-viewable to the public. The deletion of an online story is equivalent to the burning of a physical book and it hurts my heart to see it happen. No matter who wrote it. It’s just sad.
@Blu_Koral I love your stories just the way they are people need to grow up if they don’t want to read it then don’t it’s not your fault people are small minded
@elizaf6969 I’ll definitely update everybody here if I do so. So far I’ve only tried A03, but it hasn’t gone so well thus far. I’ve been debating re-posting here, but removing all of the mature content, but I feel as if that would significantly water-down the emotional impact of the story, so I’m conflicted.
I miss ur stories sm（┬┬＿┬┬）
Me too. I still haven’t found a platform that won’t guarantee not to delete them with no warning though. It’s honestly quite frustrating reading through the deletion policies of all these platforms. Modern day book burnings aren’t any more okay than the historical version.
Holy goodness, I just had a major log in failure and thought I was permanently locked out of this account. Luckily, I somehow managed to get back in. I should really triple check I have everything backed up off of this account. Soemtimes I simply leave things as drafts so they won't get randomly deleted... but thats not helpful if the account itself vanishes/I cannot manage to get back into it. Which I've had happen before and lost all my content. Not fun.
I’m glad I could be of help to you. It’s truly an awful feeling when you wake up and discover a story you’ve poured a part of your heart into is just gone.
@Blu_Koral thank you sooo much for warning us that Wattpad deletes stories without warning! I just found my two books fully gone from my account. But I have evrything saved on my phone, thanks to you!!!!! <333333333
Hi Author San, I just saw the deletion and I’m absolutely devastated, I just went to recommend TNO and DQ to someone and now I have to leave them in suspense ;-; are you able to tell us how long the contract is/ when you’ll be able to repost it elsewhere? If not I totally understand but was hoping to get an idea of when I could rebinge your masterpieces!
@Lovergirl414 I have been debating re-posting here, since people here know/want to re-read the story… but to avoid another round of flagging/deletion I’d have to remove all the mature content. And I feel conflicted about doing so, as it would significantly reduce the emotional impact of the story. As a writer, I believe firmly in realism, and bringing the story to life… I’m not sure I’d be happy with the outcome if I removed everything that could potentially get the story flagged and deleted all over again.
@Blu_Koral I’m so excited and I cannot wait! Will you be posting them here again or just on your AO3 account?
Oh no. I was going to read TNO for the hundredth times just to find that it is deleted. Is it possible to read it elsewhere even by buying it.
Do you have another profile where I can read your books because I Like all of them.
It’s such a shame that that delete your hard work.
It’s totally not your fault. Your stories are amazing and I love how they are entertwinned. Please let me know if you are published one day.
@AnneLambert6 TNO is currently under contract with Wattpad. So I cannot post it anywhere else. They have failed/refused to contact me/correct the problem, for months at this point. But even if they breached the contract, I will not do so. Once the contract expires I’ll make it available to be read again. I truly am sorry this happened, I feel awful.
Sad to see you take down your work. You have written some of my all time favorite stories and I definitely regret not rereading them more. If you ever post them to a different site, can you please link me?

@Nobody90999 I’ve got the first few chapters of Escape, LockeWolfe, and Forest People posted on Archive of Our Own/AO3. Can’t post TNO elsewhere as it’s under contract with Wattpad, and there’s not much point in posting DQ without TNO.
Sorry you had to take down your books. I really did enjoyed your style of writing. Hopefully you'll be able to relax as a reader for bit. Also thank you for the great stories
@Djdime I think everybody's thinking that. One of my friends got banned from wattpad and her story wasn't even bad or anything, it was about wolves. They took down all her work and blocked her, freaking sucks
@Blu_Koral Wattpad has gone downhill as of late, and it's ridiculous. Hopefully, you'll be able to get into contact with Wattpad. I honestly think a bunch of bot have taken over the site, I swear.
