So, two things: 1) Wattpad is no longer safe. Other than being overrun by the repetitive "Hi, I'm an editor, bla bla bla" bots; there has been many times when predatory adults on here try to specifically invade and target minor 'safe spaces'. This is applicable to any site rlly, but there's been a surge in suspicious alts/bots on here especially. So there must be some sort of foul play at hand. Avoid interaction, report abuse, and block immediately. It'll save your skin in a long run 2) This announcement is also (more or less) aimed towards Wattpad users seeing their friends mass migrating to AO3 and considering on deleting their Wattpad account in the process. Mind you, this is coming from me as a hardcore AO3 user. Tho I’ll go beyond that by saying that the publishing and editing tools are far more superior here than on the Archive. I've been writing there now for 2-3 months straight and still can't find myself writing w/ rough HTML code. Copying and pasting from Wattpad to AO3 is far more convenient. Though, there's definitely a much more active userbase on there, so it broadens your chances and opportunities in getting recognized. If you're a writer and an artist, you're way more appreciated over there than here. It's real easy to get 200+ views on AO3 within a course of a day. If you already have an AO3, feel free to leave your pseuds/profile link down here for everyone to see. I don't mind it at all, you're more than welcome to shamelessly self-advertise. ^

@whetknife I know what you mean. Invites most typically take 2-3 wks for it to go through, but otherwise the payoff is worth it. Moving to AO3 was the best decision I’ve ever made
