@Exitrealworld
you have no idea how long I have been seeing your profile picture and thinking it was like, an up close picture of someones face
@Niomed Lmao well it KIND of is... Right?! I'm trying to picture what you were picturing lol
Hi, what're your genre
@Exitrealworld That’s a powerful genre. Dark romance really depends on atmosphere and character psychology, what kind of dynamics do you like to focus on in your stories?
Thank you guys so much for 100k on Kidnapped ❤️ I love you all!!
Hello My Amazing Friends!
I just wanted to thank you all so much for reading and being here! If you're enjoying the story, I'd love to hear your thoughts along the way! Reading your comments makes my day and gets me excited and motivated to keep writing (lol!)
So please consider letting me in your head space as you read!
Happy Holidays!
With Love,
Mandy
@Exitrealworld TikTok is a good place to start, and Instagram has a different audience that also reads a lot of novels. You can build your own community. As for Wattpad, make sure to include all the necessary warnings, even adding another warning in a chapter if it's too intense. You can use warnings from other authors as a reference. The warning or writing style doesn't constitute plagiarism (obviously you have to adapt it to your work), and don't be afraid to promote it. At the end of each chapter, you can include your social media links. Promote the next chapter with a sneak peek in images, and so on. I think you're a very good writer. I think you could monetize your talent if you manage to establish yourself in the community. Happy New Year, sweetie! ⭐️
@modindira Thank you for reading!! I would promote on TikTok (I don't know how to use Instagram) but Wattpad has deleted this story once before with zero warning so I'm nervous about the wrong people becoming engaged with it if that makes sense

@Exitrealworld yes will dooo! I gathered the tropes alreadyy also if u've watched the teacher, him and his brother gives me tyler and vince vibes and so i imagine them as tyler and vince
@BlacknMinty Right?! But it's okay! I just miss all the fun comments but please feel free to share it in your group!
Hey everyone!
I know it’s been forever since I updated His and I feel so bad about it.
As some of you know, a few months back my first book, Kidnapped, got taken down out of nowhere. No warning, just gone. It honestly knocked the wind out of me. I’ve been slowly reposting it here, but it’s a long process and I've only reposted about 1/4 of Kidnapped thus far.
Yesterday I realized something kind of stressful: since His (the sequel) is already fully posted, anyone reading Kidnapped as I rebuild it can technically jump straight into His…but it won’t make much sense yet. So if you’re new and just finding these stories, know that His is meant to be read after all of Kidnapped is finished. I promise I’m working to get it all back up as quickly as I can.
On top of all that, my family and I have been in the middle of a huge cross-country move that has been one disaster after another...like, movie-level bad. It’s been hard to get my brain back into the creative zone with all of that chaos.
But I love this story and I haven’t given up on it. I just need a little more time to catch my breath and get my head back in the right space to write the next chapter.
Thanks for being so patient and for sticking around even when things are messy. It means more than I can explain. ❤️

@Exitrealworld girl please don't feel bad! Kidnapped is only 1/4 finished and I feel like it has more chapters than last time! You are awesome I would have given up but you didn't and I'm so glad you didn't because I genuinely love your writing and I know that someday you're gonna blow up. Hope things are going well with your family's move <3
Hey everyone
I just want to address something I’ve seen a few people mention... yes, Kidnapped was removed from this platform a while back (and I cried, a LOT) so I was forced to rework and repost it. This wasn’t a creative choice I made on my own; it happened because someone had my original taken down.
I completely understand if the updated version feels different... the first run will always hold a special place in my heart too. (it was my Literary Baby) But I’ve been pouring everything I have into making this version just as intense, immersive, and addicting as the original while adhering to the guidelines here...
For those who still want to revisit the original, it can still be found in full over on Inkitt under Exitrealworldd – “Kidnapped.”
I truly appreciate everyone who’s stuck with me through this... your support is the reason I’m still writing this story at all. The best is yet to come.
Hello! I’ve read your story Kidnapped before and I loved it! I just wanted to say that I’ll support you and I’m looking forward for new updates!
Hi My Favorite Readers!
Quick question for those of you who read the original Kidnapped before it got deleted from Wattpad (and for new readers too!):
How do you feel about chapter length?
Since I still have the full version on Inkitt, I’ve been pulling chapters over here and editing them to fit Wattpad’s guidelines. But I’ve also been splitting some of the longer ones into shorter parts.
As a reader myself, I know sometimes I just want to finish a chapter and take a breather, and when the chapters are super long, it can feel like a commitment. So I tried breaking them up a bit more... but I’m curious how it’s landing with you all.
Are the chapters too short now? Or does it feel more readable this way?
I’d love to hear your thoughts! It means the world right now, especially while reposting and rebuilding the momentum ❤️
Ouch, I'm sorry to hear that ... Well the original can be found on Inkitt, Exitrealworldd "Kidnapped"
Omg i was so upset that it got deleted and i was just in the mist of almost finishing it the new updated version just doesn’t feel the same.
Hi guys since "Kidnapped" was permanently deleted without warning, I've decided to rewrite it to better adhere to wattpads guidelines... pleaseee consider showing it some love because my soul is crushed!!
Thank you guys so much for your support and for being along for the ride!!

Hi i am so sad to hear this. Do you have the originals even though the story was taken down. If you do please can you send to me. This is the best story on this platform I’ve read I can’t go on my memories. No worries if you can’t still live and support you my favorite author. ❤️❤️
@Exitrealworld sobbing. But I'm glad that in a time like this you were strong enough to rewrite
To all my followers, I just woke up to find that Wattpad deleted my story, Kidnapped...without any warning. Gone forever.
I'm completely at a loss. My heart is literally broken
Thank you guys so much for the love!!! I just posted the relaunch of the first chapter. I hope you enjoy!!
I never got to finish it, I just hit the part where they got into a fancy hotel. wtf wattpad?? had no idea they deleted books. can't imagine what you're going through I'm so sorry. make sure you always make a backup somewhere else :(
@Exitrealworld OMG I'm so sorry! I loved your story! I will def show my support when you re-release it, personally, I feel that there was nothing wrong with it!
