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

Okay, this is gonna be the only announcement Imma make to avoid being spammy/annoying on here, but I think this needs to be said
          
          The PTP fandom has been notably growing (tho slowly) at a steady pace on here, much faster on Amino, and slowly but surely via Tumblr. In DeviantArt, through my observations it's safe to say that the fan art being submitted in the official fan groups are becoming less and less frequent. Meaning, it's becoming more dead as the days pass
          
          Shipping may get dull & repetitive for me later on due to CONSTANT consistency, so to cope w/ this disadvantage: I have made a Popee-focused blog on TUMBLR. The link is provided down below for those who wish to interact w/ me there
          
          https://the-popee-archives.tumblr.com/
          
          (Nearly all the posts are Scientist and older Popee based, so pls keep that in mind before you proceed to the blog)
          
          In times like these, exposure for artists/fanfic writers alike are very much needed due to intense COMPETITION. If you wish to collab, my DMs are open here for about 1 month until I hibernate from the internet for good & go back to biochem university research + my job.
          
          That is all. Have a wonderful day ahead, y'all ^

You’re really good at writing and digital art stuff, you know? I really don’t have anything else to say lmao. Just ought to let ya know you’re works are stunning!
          
          That’s pretty much it. Best regards, GridINCO.

@GridINCO Why yes ofc. The fear of discrimination is real, whether it be in online communities or irl. I completely understand that you wanted to keep it, my bad for bursting out like that, lol. ^ But yes, the Filipino ppl always have a special place in my heart. Y'see, I'm an estranged child, so I was constantly transferred to different families by foster care. Y'all are so family-oriented, friendly, peaceful, and happy, it didn't take me long for 8 yr old me to feel like a part of the pamilya ^
            
            But I say.. Regardless of the situation, be proud of who you are. You'll never know when you'll glorify your nationality by doing so, hence the blindfold of racism shall be henceforth removed from their eyes. And they will learn eventually. We are all human, after all. :] You're welcome, and have a blessed day you wonderful person!

Oh, that’s alright haha. By the way, thank you for the follow. Really appreciate it, mate!
            
            And also... I’m a Filipino. You know, that’s really cool and brave of you to just suddenly ask questions about my nationality lol. I usually keep it a secret, ‘cause you know? Racism.
            
            But all in all, you’re tagalog took me by surprise in a good way, of course! I’m really glad to meet someone who actually likes Philippine’s people and culture. So I really appreciate it! Once again, thank you!!
