A little rant incoming:
          	
          	To the spam “comic book artists” who comment on my books asking me to commission you for artwork - I’m not interested and I know it’s all fake so I will not reach out to you on discord. The amount of these comments I get is absolutely ridiculous (I think I’ve genuinely received over 50 at this point) and each of them saying the exact same thing despite the people/bots not having read the story once, saying that they were truly inspired by my story and my visual storytelling and yet they have not interacted once with the story. 
          	I know they probably won’t read this, but I thought I’d try anyway. I don’t want to look through the comments of my books and for it to be flooded by this spam over the genuine and real comments I get of my readers interacting with my story and characters, which just so happens to be one of my favourite parts of posting on wattpad. 
          	It’s getting really annoying. Is anyone else having this issue? I wish Wattpad would do something about this - I can only block so many bots T_T
          	
          	Sorry for the ramble, I had to vent my frustration lol

@Gamer_Gael yeah i've seen people online talk about it too and its really frustrating that this is happening! i love getting comments and normally seeing the notification of a comment makes me incredibly excited, but now i'm mostly expecting it to be spam which sucks the joy out of it. i hope something about it happens soon and wattpad returns to the way it was :/

@HeatherDarte It's happened to me and a few others I know, and not just on Wattpad. It's very annoying and disingenuous, and really kills that "Oh, a new comment!" feeling

Hi there Heather ! I want to say I’ve followed you over 3 accounts now. Just want to share that you’ve kept me and my creativity going since 2019-2020. You’re one of my favorite authors, the first few I follow everytime I unfortunately lose my accounts. Thank you for sharing your world with us Heather !

Hi! Your writing is really inspiring! I just finished all the published parts of tms and am really hoping there’s more!

HeatherDarte

Hi! Thanks so much for the lovely comments and this message <3 I’m really glad you enjoyed it! Yes there are more parts to tms, I’m actually planning on updating it soon as I have the next few chapters written now :)

Hey!! Just wondering if you're still planning on updating tms? Wish you all the best :)) <3

HeatherDarte

Hi! Yes I’m still planning on updating tms, I just started a new job so I’m struggling to balance my time between that and writing but don’t worry, the story will continue :) thanks for sticking around and I wish you all the best too! <3
