Dear Readers,
As you may know, my story Enslaved by You was removed today suddenly, without any warning whatsoever. Before it disappeared it was the most read TB fanfic with a whopping 384k plus reads. I think it had over 10k comments. Why am I making you read statistics?
Because when a story is deleted, it isn’t just a simple matter of reposting it again. When a story is deleted every comment and every read disappears. We start from point zero again.
Wattpad writers don’t write for money. We write for the love you shower on us. When I write a particular scene, I get excited to hear your views on it- positive or negative. This feedback is our reward. And I just lost 10k plus worth of this feedback, for viable reason. I started EBY at the height of TB popularity and it instantly garnered ardent fans- TB fans who have since then left the fandom. When I go back to reread EBY, I read them with the comments and it added a lot of value to me. That’s what made me smile or laugh.
And I know it’s not a tangible loss, but for me, it’s a loss of experience and of love that I had known from you all. It happened with SD and now with EBY- and it’s honestly demotivating.
And why is this happening? I don’t know why EBY was deleted when it was clearly not objectionable.
I am honestly very demotivated and upset by this.
