True to my indecisive nature, I have republished The Name Lost in Time. Sorry for spamming y'all with notifs. Hopefully Wattpad won't shower me with unwanted ads in turn.

Dear followers,
          
          The Name Lost in Time has been unpublished due to reasons specified in my previous update from May. It will not appear on Wattpad again.
          
          In case you want to follow it and get updates, you can do so on other sites where I keep publishing. The list is here:
          
          AO3: https://archiveofourown.org/users/MirwenAnareth
          FFN: https://www.fanfiction.net/u/1217916/
          Quotev: https://www.quotev.com/MirwenAnareth

          Thank you for all the votes and comments up until now and hope to see you there!
          
          All the best,
          Mirwen

Hey guys! I have important stuff to discuss with all of you. Please, read this until the end.
          
          Lately, Wattpad has been turning for the worse. The app is nearly unusable for me (last chapters of stories don't display, comments don't display, stuff doesn't post when I send it...), I don't enjoy the paid program which keeps popping up at me, and above that, there have been spammers writing comments under my stories. Even if their content is against the Wattpad policies, Wattpad has been unable to give any reaction for a month and treat the situation. To top it off, my security tools report me frequently that my Wattpad password has been compromised. I had to change it a few times and it is already compromised again.
          
          Other people have been experiencing issues like their stories getting "altered" (stuff being left out) or not displaying on their profile.
          
          I have also noticed quite a lot of restrictive rules being put in place, and the staff trying to force people to exclude other services and post on Wattpad only.
          
          As such, I don't trust Wattpad in any way. I don't trust that my stories will stay safe here, or that I won't be burdened with more spam than real comments soon. I want to leave the place, but I know a few of you have been following my stories here, which is why I have decided to write to you.
          
          I would like to ask if you guys would be willing to follow me elsewhere. I also post on AO3, FFN, Quotev and Tumblr (always as MirwenAnareth). Especially on AO3, it is quite easy to set up notifications for stories, so you would still know whenever a new chapter came out. If you prefer website or desktop notifications before e-mail ones, Quotev could serve.
          
          I would leave my stories here for a bit, but I would remove them after a few months.
          
          I really cherish all of you for reading my story, but the situation is getting a bit unbearable for me. I hope we can make this work somehow, even outside Wattpad. Please, let me know if you can.
          
          Thank you.

@MirwenAnareth I fully agree with your observations and intend to stop posting here too. That is more to take down what I have here. A03 is much more user friendly.

Hey, everyone!
          
          I've noticed that the Wattpad mobile app doesn't always show new chapters. Chapter 22 of The Name Lost in Time has been posted for quite some time, but there has been close to no activity so I'm assuming you might have faced this problem. If you want to read it, you can also do so on Fanfiction.net, AO3, Quotev or Tumblr - my nickname/username is always MirwenAnareth.
          
          Also, I apologize but this makes me unable to read your stories here as well, so if, by any chance, you've posted them somewhere else, please, send me a link. :)
          
          Thank you!
          Mirwen

@ Timelord_From_Erebor  Hey there! You're very welcome. I haven't actually gotten to reading it yet due to my extremely busy working schedule, but I'll be sure to let you know once I do - I always comment on the stories I read. Your story summary seemed very promising. :)

MirwenAnareth

Apologies to all my readers. I am postponing the release of my next chapter. I could release it now but I don't want to present you with poor quality work. At least not knowingly. I shall rewrite it until I feel good about it so I don't have to torment you. :)

MirwenAnareth

And here you go, oof. :D

@aecianlost Thank you so much! It is finally happening. I feel a lot better about it now (after like the fifth rewrite or so, lol), so I hopefully it's going to appear soon. :)
