I believe that we will see a migration of spicy authors over to Inkitt and Penana , this week, lol. I wish that Inkitt had side bullet comments like WP… that’s one of an author’s favorite things , yeah?
We love the comments!

Hmmm, I need to call a ‘ Waa- mbulance … grrr

So I will transfer the unedited story of ‘ Hero & Perfect’ to Inkitt’.
I will be writing on Inkitt as ‘ NowTheSword’.
Question: Do you like Penana? Do they have much engagement? I took a quick peek at them and they look like they have some almost forum-like societies! That’s so nice! I know that the forums here on WP helped launch hundreds of new authors ,and definitely played a large role in those authors receiving millions of reads…it caused a mass exodus of writers and author fans when WP removed the forums.
I am going to publish on Inkitt and Penana if their nsfw policies are clearly defined and in place.
Be well, keep writing your marvellous works!
I hope this year is treating you well so far!
I will be finishing my new story on WP and hopefully finishing the ‘ One Hearts’ series here, too.
Have a great day,
TTYs

I am concerned to hear that. I hope real life’s turbulence becomes calm waters for you soon , so you can comfortably share some wonderful writing again.
Thank you for mentioning Yoru , I will definitely check them out.
I absolutely live for a book site that has forums.
It looks like Penana is potentially (?) based in China, so the censorship there may be an issue…and would likely preclude any comments on any tale that involves homosexuality. I’m hoping it’s actually from Taiwan…if so, then there is a far greater chance that it will not be suddenly taken down…

@Kingsrabbit Penana is okay, my viewership on there is better then WP, but I don't believe I've received a single comment. Inkitt seems to be the superior website between the two. I'm also on Yoru, which is a new up-and-coming serialized fiction website. They have a discord too, and are very nice people. You may want to check them out too. Sorry I havent been on recently, been going through some IRL tribulations that have kept me away from writing.

Hey author! Just checking in with you, wanting to let you know that I am going to edit ‘ Hero & Perfect” to place the nsfw high school age scenes so that they are no longer explicit, and instead are placed behind closed doors- I am hoping that this will appease the Wattpad yaoi gods , and that their gorgeous love story will not be removed because of these ( very relevant to the story imo) poignant and steamier scenes taking place on Kim Perfection’s 16 birthday , after a full year of trying to persuade his stubborn , temple raised bf to break his word and his ‘ plan’ for them to wait three years, when both boys realize they will be parted, possibly for years… I am not sure how I will do this, because both the desperate , oral bathroom scene and the ‘ first time’ scene later that day, ARE so important to driving the story forward and for proper context of how much it mattered to Hero that he broke his vow to wait the three years so that his precious, delicately built, so beloved boy could have the best chance to grow and be healthy and strong enough to take him, because of their vast size difference. ( This was definitely my ‘ how many tropes can I squish into one story ‘ book! lol) It’s a catalyst in the story, showcasing their commitment to each other and highlighting Perfect’s feisty spirit and Hero’s noble character. It bothered him deeply to break his word , even with Perfect’s insistence of ‘ no regret’ , and a full year of resisting Perfect’s attempts to seduce him. Ahhhh, I’m just so salty at having to edit these scenes! I tried so hard to make certain that they were steamy but not arbitrary! I mean , I understand WP wanting to raise the age of intimate consent and nsfw scenes to involve only those aged 18 + , I’m ok with that, even though I am Canadian , and age of consent here is still 16, and I have several friends who were married with a kid at that age, but I wish that WP policy had been in place earlier…

The insanity of the Christmas season is over now, and life can hopefully settle a little closer to something resembling ‘normal’ once more.
I hope you had a wonderful holiday season. Happy New Year my so talented WP friend! May this year be one of great creative joy for you:) All the best. I am so happy to see you achieving such milestones!! More to come , yeah? YEAH!
You deserve aaaaaaaall of them:)
Cheers and hugs.

Merry Christmas to all!
I recently posted the final chapter of The Miserably Macabre Tales of Luna Samuels and I have a lot of emotions about it. I'm so happy to present y'all with the completed first act of Luna's imperfect journey. It's bittersweet to finish the first act, I was even tearing up writing 'The End." I'm so excited to bring you all the new installment of the Luna Samuels series in the new year.
I would also like to take a few moments to appreciate all my readers! Without you all, I probably wouldn't have made it past Chapter 5. To everyone who has believed in me and my story, thank you. I love you all so very much.
