          I won't lie to you guys tho: I feel like most readers and writers on Wattpad are making their way out. It's been feeling emptier lately, and half the talking I see and hear is just AI slop peddling scams into our comment sections. MASSIVE shame considering seeing people's comments on stories were what I loved most about this app. These are a few reasons why I've had less motivation to write on here most days.
          
          But DO NOT FEAR. And DO NOT LEAVE. I will complete "Seeking Sensation." I will complete Bright Lights & Dark Secrets. Hell, I've got plans for more books in the future, and my mixed feelings about this app barely make a dent in my love for writing. So I'll stick around if you guys do :)
          
          Thanks again, everyone! Have a great day :)

Why is it only “artists” that comment on stories nowadays? And why does every single one immediately want to redirect us to Discord despite only commenting either on the very first or last chapter?
          
          Stupid scams. Shame too, I’d love to see my stories illustrated. Just not by some bot. Anyone else dealing with this artist infestation too?

My new short story. Read it please https://www.wattpad.com/story/401068915?utm_source=android&utm_medium=com.miui.notes&utm_content=story_info&wp_page=story_details_button&wp_uname=Silver-Bloom

Hey guys, I'm not dead! And on top of that, another chapter in the Bright Lights & Dark Secrets story "Seeking Sensation" is FINALLY out now!
          
          By now, the strange partnership between Trinette and Bash has devolved from mentor and student to cat and mouse. The closest she's ever gotten to uncovering the truth behind the mysterious identity of Lynn Valentine has FAILED! Or has it? The only question is: with every new opportunity to succeed, what could happen if she fails again?
          
          Enjoy, everyone! Should be one more part to this story so I'll try my damnedest to make sure it goes out with a BANG! And that it doesn't take half a year to be uploaded haha...
          
          But yeah once again, ENJOY!

Hi @JaCrispy_Jamaine! I'm Zephyra, Your story (Cognitive Deviance)really touched me. I was wondering if it's okay for me to make some art inspired by it?

Omg, totally random! But hey, I’m just looking through my old profile and remembered how good your stories are! Keep up the good work frfr 

Hi!
          
          If you have a moment, I’d like to warmly invite you to read my book ;)

          A lot has happened since the last installment of Seeking Sensation was released. Still working on the last parts even to this day, I hate to say it, but life has still been a LOT more different than I thought it was gonna be. Seen things, done things, met people. All very inspiring stuff.
          
          But anyway just know that I still haven’t forgotten you all :) In fact I’ve been doing a lot of reading lately to help me get back into the flow! And gosh it’s helped. And thank you all again for your support! I’ll keep writing knowing you’re all there by my side :)
          
          Have a goodnight everyone!

Hii, I will be thrilled if you check out my story! It's a thriller story about a hall collapse during graduation ceremony of a high school.
