As this year comes to a close, I feel the need to say what’s been in my heart.
          	
          	When I started the awards, it was with hope, excitement, and genuine intentions. I wanted to celebrate stories, effort, and creativity, and I made sure to clearly mention tags like Halal Romance and Islamic Fiction, and detailed rules in the hope that everyone could understand what I was looking for. 
          	
          	I wanted to create a space where I could safely judge within my own comfort and beliefs, while still giving opportunities to writers who fell within those boundaries, regardless of their background or faith.
          	
          	But what happened instead was painful. 
          	My intentions were misunderstood, my rules questioned, and my right to create and judge within my own space dismissed. 
          	I’ve been told that I am discriminating, that my awards are offensive, and that I have no right to host them. 
          	
          	The constant shaming, mocking, and public arguments have taken a toll. 
          	It’s overwhelming, unfair, and honestly humiliating, not just for me, but for everyone involved.
          	
          	I want to be clear: I never forced participation. 
          	
          	However, because of all this, and because this experience has become more painful than uplifting, I am cancelling the awards entirely. 
          	
          	I am deeply sorry if anyone felt hurt or unwelcome. That was never my intention. But I cannot continue something that has caused so much conflict and negativity.
          	
          	I need to step back from Wattpad. 
          	I hope the coming year brings kindness, understanding, and respect to everyone.
          	
          	This marks the end of the awards. Thank you to those who supported me, understood my intentions, and treated me with patience and respect. 
          	
          	Wishing you all New Year in advance.

@GreyyWhispersAlt hi, I've been a bit out of things lately because I've been sick, so I just saw this announcement, and not sure what precipitated everything. But if you were bullied or harassed, there is absolutely ZERO space for behavior like that and I'm so sorry that you had to deal with that. Thank you for trying to do something for the community, I'm frustrated that anyone would treat you poorly or not respect what you were trying to do :(

Hello everyone, 
          
          I'm sick so now's the time to cozy up with some Team Hate.
          
          Why did my keyboard recommend the water emoji when I typed "hate"?
          
          
          
          Anyways, if I don't find out why Shahmeer is ignoring everyone I will start crying--
          
          Also, I really hope you're feeling better :)

Hey,
            Hope you are doing well. I do have many readers Alhumdullilah, but my concern here is I don’t have exactly 7 friends to tag on Wattpad. Would be really helpful if you could let me know what can be done for that part. I am a beginner but I am writing my book with passionately.

@GreyyWhispersAlt Greyy, this is honestly so beautiful. You’ve poured so much thought and heart into creating something that uplifts others and it shows. The categories, the message, the vibe… it’s all so meaningful. I’m genuinely proud of you for building this space where stories and storytellers feel seen. Can’t wait to be part of it ✨❤️❤️

Heyyy everyone!!! 
          
          Hope you are doing great and hopefully enjoying the cold weather. ✨
          
          I was just thinking about hosting an award so would any of you be interested in joining? And you'll be getting review and feedback for improvement.
          
          Last month I had judged an award and I LOVED doing it so thought why not.
          
          No too many rules or payments. Just the same easy ones. 
          
          But no toxic, explicit, or seductive stories. 
          
          Let me know so I can finalize my decision. Thanks a ton ❤️

Hey there, readers!
          
          I'm JustVibing_Writes... 21 years old and completely new to Wattpad.
          
          Just so you know upfront, I'm a guy writing this story and yes... I'm straight.
          
          Why mention it?
          
          Because I want to write romance that feels genuine and real, regardless of who's behind the keyboard.
          
          I used to write on Inkitt... but I've decided to start fresh here on Wattpad with all of you.
          
          New platform, new energy, new beginning.
          
          "Alongside You" is my first work on this journey and honestly? I'm both nervous and excited to share it with you.
          
          This is a story about two lonely souls who find each other in the quietest, most unexpected way.
          
          No dramatic love at first sight.
          
          No over-the-top confessions.
          
          Just small moments, honest conversations, and the courage it takes to let someone see the real you.
          
          If you're looking for a slow burn romance with real emotions, flawed characters, and a story that takes its time, then maybe this is for you.
          
          So here's what I'm asking:
          
          Give it a chance...
          
          Read a few chapters...
          
          If it resonates with you... vote and let me know.
          
          Drop a comment, even if it's just to say what you felt.
          
          Your feedback means everything to a new writer trying to find his voice.
          
          Let's start this journey together.
          
          Welcome to "Alongside You."
          
          JustVibing_Writes...
          
          P.S:- If you read this message on your message board and it's not your thing...
          
          I apologize! Feel free to delete it... No hard feelings.
