Hey, I was wondering if you have or know any friends that can draw? Whether it is on here or IRL. Also, I was wondering if you can give me a good title for the renewed second chapter? The name of it is now called The Hidden Traveler.

I saw that you voted for the first republished chapter of this renewed story. I am curious of what you think of it and is there anything I need to fix on or is it good enough?

I hope you'll have the time to read this. But I just want you to know that I'm restarting my first Fanfic that I started writing on this site, cause I have come to realize that it needs a refresh and that the publishing timeline was out of order due to me going in and accidentally republishing it with changes.
          Anyway, how have you been and what have you been doing throughout this year? I'm looking forward to this next chapter and I hope you do finish this story cause I believe in you that you can finish it. Even though there are roadblocks and struggles, I know you have the ability to finish this amazing story.
          I also want to let you know that in the gaming world is that Halo Studios is done with Halo Infinite and will be focusing on Halo Campaign Evolve. I hope this game will go fruition and I hope it revives Halo itself. As for the new Halo book" Edge of Dawn is going to be audio recorded by the lovely voice actors of Master Chief and the new A. I. now known as Joy/Joyace.
          I wish you a lovely Thanksgiving and I hope you are doing well in college these days, and I wish you a lovely November.
          Peace.

Hey, I saw your announcement and I reply to it. But I'll do it here. I think you should do a mature warning if the scene is going to be violent or let them know which scene is not going to be mature and they can skip that scene if they want to. Writers on this site make a warning for people when they do lemon scenes.

Hi everyone! Cry here again. As I write this next Evocatus chapter, I've been debating whether or not to change the story's rating on Wattpad to Mature. Right now it's still unrated, but it obviously has a lot of graphic violence and horror elements that will only increase until the end of the story. So far, I've avoided slapping on the Mature rating in favor of individual content warnings by chapter, because of reasons including that non-Mature-rated stories tend to get more reads and the tag is also generally associated with more sexual material, which Evocatus has none of. That being said, I really don't want this story delisted for improper tagging, and according to the demographics tab, all of my readers fall into the above 18 category already. 
          
          Any thoughts on what I should do? If I decide to rate the story Mature, it will be with the release of the next chapter, which, spoiler alert, has maybe the most graphic violence in a chapter so far (the whole thing isn't a gorefest, the worst will be in a skippable section and the majority of the chapter is relevant character interaction and important plot points).  
          
          Anyway, give me your opinions on what to do and/or insight on how Wattpad vets and enforces these kind of things.  As always, thank you so much for reading, and have a lovely morning/noon/night. 
          
          Love you all, Peace.

PSA, watch out for AI scams. I’ve gotten three comments on just this last chapter from accounts asking if they can turn my work into art (comics, character pieces, etc). While of course tempting, DO NOT let anyone make any art based on your work unless you can 100% verify they are human, and even then, be careful. 
          
          Luckily, AI is pretty easy to detect rn; bots will say things like “_______ is my passion, I live for _____.” Or “Your story makes my heart feel alight for the first time!” It sounds nice, and it’s not real, almost nobody talks like that. Other red flags are stunted sentence structure that read more like a corporate pitch than an actual conversation, overuse of em-dashes—these sentence-dividing lines—(which I feel particularly snubbed about, bc I use them a lot), an overuse of emojis, and near absence of voice indicators like parentheses. There are other tells, but that is what jumps out most at me.
          
          As a closing statement, don’t use AI for creative purposes, it will only corrode your own abilities while also robbing your creations of your own voice. AI can be a great tool for like molecular simulations and digitized stress testing on hypothetical structures, but it is a god-awful writer.
          
          Sorry if this has been really preachy lol, it’s an issue I care a lot about. Ultimately what you do with your own work is your choice, just be wary of bad actors trying to use your hours of writing for their own short-term gain. Love you all, stay safe out there.

Just made some microscopic edits to the last chapter, fixing typos mainly. If you get a notification that Evocatus has been updated, that’s why.

Hey Crysanth, I just had an idea in case you hadn't thought of this already. I was thinking for the next chapter, the scene would be played out that all the police Elites and whatever remaining regular Elites, along with Kusan and Jazz make a final stand while making sure that Faie and the other Sanghili civilians are being escorted to the top of the tower.

Hi everyone! Turns out, I may be the biggest fool of all time: I thought I uploaded the latest Evocatus chapter a month and a half ago, but in actuality it’s been sitting in my Wattpad drafts for like 50 days because I forgot “save” and “publish” are completely different things (I write everything in Google Docs then just copy and paste to Wattpad, so it’s been forever since I’ve dealt with this site’s ui) The good news is this chapter is DEFINITELY published now, and the next chapter is being written. I’ll probably go back to make minor changes to this last chapter a couple times between now and then, that’s how I realized it hadn’t been actually published. Thanks everybody for waiting so patiently, and again thanks for all the votes and comments this story has gotten, it truly means so much to me. I read every comment, but my life is hectic enough that it can take me a long time to respond (I’m also extremely forgetful). Anyway, new chapter is up, give it a read and tell me your thoughts!
          
          Thanks again, and as always, take care of yourselves <3

Hey, I saw your message through my email and I try to reply to you. But it didn't work, so I'll say it again on here. 
          I don't think so as I only know the basics of this website. As for my writing strategy, I really didn't had one as I just went with my gut and knew what I could about the story. But now I'm using ChatGPT for help with that. Though I won't be writing it out right now cause I just want to focus on writing/reworking on a story that doesn't have too much struggles or roadblocks to write.
          Though I would like your help on some characters if you don't mind. Cause only I have the Sangheli, Serian, and Tibone Kidyard. I would like other characters that aren't a Ongoy or Jiralenheim.
