I am so happy to have finally found a decent community of young writer's like myself, who are extremely friendly and relatable. Crazy Writing Week is a small community of young writer's, split into two teams. Starting tomorrow, there will be a competition between the two teams over who can write the most in one week.
If any of you are interested in joining this amazing community I stumbled upon, let me know and I'll send you a link to join.
Sorry, I know this rant was pretty random, but it's been too good for me to keep to myself XD

Just wanted to let you all know, I've almost finished reposting all of the Beetlejuice stories to Archive of Our Own, and you can read them here:https://archiveofourown.org/users/Elaina_Doliboa I've already been working on new chapters, and I'll start posting them after I'm all caught up with the other ones. I'll post another announcement like this one once I've posted new chapters, so look out for that :) Also, I hope you are all doing well and staying safe during this confusing time. The only good thing about being quarantined so far is that I've had more time to write XD

@OnlyUsingToRead Thanks for checking up on me! :) It is, actually, it's getting a lot easier. I had one chapter where I honestly couldn't decide whether to tag it as romantic or not, so I just put an A/N saying that it could be looked at either way. I was prepared for people to try and give me hate, but instead I actually had someone tell me it was a great idea, making it both platonic and romantic! :D

@ElainaDoliboa I am so late to this announcement but I hope you are doing well and its great you have more time to write ive been develping pegs a little more, its shaping up well. Is the tagging becoming easier on AO3?
ElainaDoliboa
I'm kind of lost in what to do, guys. I started uploading the Beetlejuice stories to Archives of Our Own, but I've been running into some problems. They take their tagging a lot more seriously over on that site than they do here on Wattpad, and it's causing me issues. The problem is, most of my chapters are friendship stories, with only a tiny bit of romance in them. If I tag them as Beetlejuice x Lydia, people looking for super romantic stuff get disapointed and mad. If I tag it as Beetlejuice & Lydia, Beetlebabes haters tell me I'm disgusting and I'm tagging my stories wrong.
All in all, I've gotten a lot of hate comments and I don't know what to do. I love writing Beetlejuice and Lydia stories, but this is making want to quit posting them for other's to see.

@ElainaDoliboa I am sorry you are hitting these roadblocks. :( It doesnt matter what the haters say, youre an awesome writer and youre very talented. try looking at other books that are sort of like yours and look at the tags there. on another note, what is the story called on there?

@ElainaDoliboa its alright in life there will always be haters, so dont pay attention to them

Update on the situation: I have officially sent in a request ticket with the problem, and hopefully Wattpad will get back to me. If I haven't gotten a response within a week, I will be moving my story to a different site. I will put the link on my profile if this happens, so that you all can still read the story. Thank you for sticking with me through this and understanding. ❤️

I am so sorry, I don't know what happened, but Wattpad deleted my Beetlejuice story AGAIN and I'm furious right now. I will do everything I can to figure out why this has happened twice now. If anyone has any ideas, please let me know. Last time this happened, I contacted Wattpad with my problem, and they never replied. I'm afraid at this point I might be moving my story to another fanfiction website.
OnlyUsingToRead
@ElainaDoliboa well that certainly Is lucky. This is the only fanfic account I have so I just wanted to know lol. I hope tthis gets sorted out and you don’t have to stress about it anymore
ElainaDoliboa
Luckily I saved all of my stories to Google Docs after I had to rewrite them last time, so I won't have to rewrite them
ElainaDoliboa
@OnlyUsingToRead I haven't decided which website I'll switch to yet, but I will definitely put the link to it here once I do. I'll keep my Wattpad account, because so far this has only happened to my Beetlejuice story. If it happens again to anything else, I might get rid of my account, but so far I'll be keeping it.

I'm writing a Christmas chapter for BJxL, but it might not be posted until later this week. The holidays are always super busy for me because Christmas, my birthday, and New Year's are all within the same week. >w<
I think the chapter will be worth the wait, though. It has a special guest. ;)
ElainaDoliboa
Just wanted to say I'm sorry if I made some of you cry with the latest chapter. I'm going through some stuff right now, and writing is the easiest ways for me to cope with what's happening in my personal life.
ElainaDoliboa
Soooooo, uh, the next chapter of BJxL is kinda going to be really sad...
I'm probably evil for writing it, or at least a mean author... ^^"
But the good news is, I'll be posting two, MAYBE three chapters next week, to make up for it!
...Does that make it redeemable? I honestly don't know...
ElainaDoliboa
I'm working on writing a part 2 to Fever (which will hopefully be posted tomorrow), where BJ is the one who gets sick. Do you guys want it to be angsty, like Fever was, or more fluffy?
