THE MARAUDER'S DECEPTION New Chapter: "Galley Maid"
https://www.wattpad.com/1647109668-a-writer%27s-tale-4-the-marauder%27s-deception-chapter
Fresh chapter for you all! *Sigh* And with a new active project comes the inevitable onslaught of scammy shill accounts... Someone commented on the first chapter I posted last week, of course displaying some of the red flags (username a string of numbers and letters; glowing nebulous comment that doesn't actually react to the story at all like a human person; attempting to redirect to Whatsapp; no interactions with other users on the profile--yes, I check all these with each comment I get) and yet there were a few signs that maybe this person had been under the radar for a while (profile was more than a few weeks old; there was at least a reading list, and some followers) so I decided not to respond right away.
Well that I did, because a few days later, the comment, and thus the account, were removed.
This is a clear sign that these accounts are often bot-generated, because a real person would understand the T&C and user policies of Wattpad enough to know that all this constant SOLICITATION is a clear violation.
That being said, I wish I could have more engagement with ACTUAL readers! If you're seeing this, if you've read this far, could you go give any favorite story of mine an upvote, or leave a comment? (Especially on my #Wattys2026 story! https://www.wattpad.com/story/395205933-fairies-under-glass ) I do respond to every single genuine comment, so if you're looking for discussion, you've come to the right place!
Happy Reading!
