Wattpad authors deserve ad revenue if they're going to be putting ads on OUR writing. Even if it is fanfiction, it's no different than ads on fan animations or cosplay on YouTube. They're putting ads on our content, yet we don't see a cent of the money it's making. If wattpad insists on putting ads between every fucking chapter, then we should be getting some of the money from it. Or at the very least, make it so authors don't see ads on their own stories. 
          
          I understand that running ads is what keeps the platform going and free to use, but they should be allowing their creators to earn ad revenue. 
          
          WE are the ones who even make this app/site what it is. WE are the ones providing content for this app, and they insist on putting ads between every chapter, so its only fair that we see some of the profit this app brings in. If there wasn't so many ads, I probably wouldn't care as much, but it's literally every chapter.
          
          It's really no wonder people are leaving and going over to AO3 a lot more now. At least they don't have ads over there. Which proves that it's possible to run a site/app like this without needing ads to do so. Wattpad clearly is making enough money to keep the app/site up, so why aren't they offering any of that to the people who make this app what it is. And yeah, I know there's a system now where you can use in app currency to read and they pay you that way or whatever, but honestly that system is dumb. And it excludes a huge portion of the people using this app. 
          
          Idk, maybe there's more to it than I realize, but if people on YouTube, Twitch, etc, are making money off their content from Ad revenue, then we should too.
          
          This isn't my way of saying I'm gonna stop posting on the platform or anything like that, I just think that if we all start speaking up about this, maybe Wattpad will actually listen for once. If there isn't already a petition for this, I'll likely be making one.

May I write a fanfiction that is similar to “The quiet kid” which you wrote but it will have a drastic change, it will end very different, and it won’t be Billdip, is that ok with you?

It's my birthday, the big 2 3 
          
          Honestly it's kinda sucked so far. Not sure why I expected this year to be any different 

To the person naming all my time skips and giving them personalities. You're doing God's work. Thank you for your service. God doesn't exist probably but this person is putting in the work xD

I honestly think removing private messaging on Wattpad is a good idea.
          
          This is a platform that has a lot of underage users on it, and I've seen perverts trying to take advantage of that. Hell a month ago I spent a lot of my time trying to get a book taken down that someone had written about a 25 year old and a 14 year old in a sexual relationship. That kind of content is not okay, especially on a platform like this. People are very impressionable, especially at younger ages. Hell, I've almost been a victim of grooming when I was younger, right here on wattpad. 
          
          So to all those who are trying to fight this change, I'm gonna see you as one of two kinds of people, either your underage and don't understand, or you're a pervert who lost a way for you to manipulate people. 
          
          I'm glad wattpad is finally changing up how they moderate things, because the shit I've seen on this site is disgusting, people should be able to interact on wattpad safely. 

Trying something new with my writing. Gonna drop something completely different then what I usually write. Not sure if its gonna be the next story I post or if something else is gonna come out first, but expect a lot of big things this year. Gonna try and get on that writing grind again. 

Doing some minor editing today, so if you see any stories that get "updated" it's really just minor changes

I'd say write about autism, I have a form of it called aspergers syndrome, and it is hard to tell i have autism until I have a breakdown over something or I emd up with a sensory issue. I would love to see more people write about my syndrome, and if you want, I can tell you some things that I have figure out with said condition, but again, everyone with it condition is different.

So I need some help with a new fic. 
          
          Yall may have noticed, but one thing I enjoy writing about is mental health/disabilities. I love researching these topics and writing about them as a way to educate and spread awareness about these things. (While i may not have approached all of them accurately I am learning and working to do better)
          
          So far I've mostly focused on mental health; Depression, Anxiety, Abandonment Issues, PTSD, Selective Mustism. I also want to work on other things that I need some help with. 
          
          While I can do research it always helps to talk to people who may have these mental health issues and disabilities, so that if I were to write something about these topics, I won't offend any people who may have them. Specifically I'm looking into Tourettes, Multiple personality disorder, and PTSD. (I know I touched on PTSD in Stranded, but I'm gonna make it the main focus in another book, so I need more help with that)
          
          So if anyone has any first hand experience and you don't mind sharing and answering questions, please message me. I won't push you to answer any questions you don't want to answer, but I am curious, and would like to make sure my stories are as accurate as possible as not to offend anyone. 

Never thought I'd be reading fanfics while in the back of an ambulance. Guess there's a first for everything xD
          
          (I'm not hurt or anything. I'm doing a ride along and they left me back here alone)
