Delay in publishing "Ambre's Choices.":
Hi everyone! I'm posting this to let you know that a lot is going on in my life right now, and that I've fallen behind on Ambre's story. The next chapter is almost ready, but it's hard to find a few peaceful hours for the final proofreading. I hope it will be out end of the week but I'm not even sure.
Sorry again.
Hello everyone, as some of you may have seen, I have just posted the second chapter of Ambre: Finding Her Way Back. It's the new version of the Ambre story that I had already posted there, but which had been taken down.
A strange thing has happened though, as I can't see the story in any of the rankings (neither under hot nor new). I still have a rankings on the story in my profile, but I can't see it in the rankings lists. The last time this happened the story was shadow banned and then removed.
Is this happening again or have I missed something?
@ABollea It wasn't removed; it just exhibits strange behavior with the ranking system. For example, it doesn't appear att all in diapers ranking when it should. In any case, the Wattpad ranking system is quite random. If you'd like, you can find the story here: https://www.wattpad.com/myworks/387815639-ambre-finding-her-way-back
im glad u got a new story up sorry your old one was taken down have a nice night
Hello everyone, today is a sad day, Ambre's choice has been taken down by wattpad.
I have to say that I'm really sad about this. I haven't lost the story, I have some backups. But I still don't have your comment and I won't be able to publish it there.
From now on I will publish the story (1 time a week) on :
https://reamstories.com/page/lul0in0123/member
So if anyone wants to continue reading it, I'd love to have you there.
Ps:
And I'm also thinking of posting it on AO3, but I'm not really a user of that site, so I'd like your opinion on that.
@Alice_Sofia02 Dans un sens, tu es prévenu, Wattpad t'informe quand tu postes une histoire que ce ne sont que des hôtes pour celle-ci et que tu dois avoir ton propre support pour la conserver. Il t'informe aussi qu'il ne te donne aucune garantie sur le fait que ton histoire ne soit pas perdue. Ce qui m'attriste le plus, c'est que le bannissement n'a aucune justification. On te dit que l'histoire ne respecte pas les TOS, mais tu n'as pas plus d'informations. Faire appel ne semble avoir aucun effet, et il semble impossible de parler à un humain. Globalement, il n'y a rien à faire. Le site a décidé que cette histoire, c'était non, elle est bannie, peu importe que ce soit injuste ou injustifié. D'autant plus que la situation précédente était un shadow ban de presque 6 mois, 6 mois entre le passage de leur bot et l'évaluation par un soi-disant lecteur humain. Quant à Realms, le site est assez jeune donc il y a assez peu de contenu et vu que le site offre un moyen de monétisation intégré, beaucoup sont en effet payants. D'autant que Realms a été un refuge quand Patreon a fait le même genre de purge. L'expérience utilisateur n'est vraiment pas exceptionnelle. Ce qui m'a guidé vers ce site, c'est que SolSombra publie dessus et le setup étant assez simple, je me suis dit que j'allais en faire de même, mais j'espère sincèrement que le site va évoluer car en l'état, il n'est pas très pratique. AO3, lui, a l'air d'offrir bien plus de possibilités. L'expérience utilisateur des tags reste assez complexe pour un néophyte, je trouve, mais au moins il y a du contenu et en cherchant un peu, il est possible de trouver ce que l'on cherche.
@Alice_Sofia02 https://archiveofourown.org/users/Mouche222 I have not posted yet because I am still wondering if I should post all at once or something closer to 1/2 time a week until it reaches the chapter in progress.
Hello again everyone!
Once again, I m not posting it for good news. As many of you probably know by now, Whatpad is on a campaign of banning and shadow banning a lot of stories.
As of right now, Ambre's Choices is shadow banned, which means you can't find it by searching for its name, it won't show up, and it won't show up in any classification.
I think you can tell if a story is shadow banned by going to the author's profile and looking at the story's classification and the "see other classifications" button. If not, then the story is shadow banned.
I hope the story will not be banned (I do not think it will be, as it respects the Watapad TOS, but you never know). I want to assure you that I will continue to write this story, and if it ever gets banned, I will find a way to publish it on another platform.
Ps: If any of you have trouble finding a story, you can still access it through the author's profile page.
@Frank3678 Hi, I did made a duplicate of it on ream. For now it is just a backup in case wattapad decides to ban the story for some reason. The review process seems to be quite long, so I'm on standby for now, hoping it gets reviewed soon (4 mounts of waiting already). For Ream, the idea behind the site is great, and it's easy to set up, but I think it has major UI/UX problems, so I have a hard time recommending it to people.
@Mouche222 I see you posted it on Ream. I just moved all of my stories over there, too. It might be worth calling out your followers or as a comment on the story if you haven't already.
When do you plan on updating?
@Jessicadacoolest101 As soon as possible, Monday if possible, but im not sure I can make it.
Hello everyone!
As you may have seen the cover image of "Ambre's Choices" has changed. It's not by choice, watpad decided that the previous image didn't respect the terms of use (I don't really understand why but whatever). I hope this one stays, otherwise I'll generate a softer image.
As for the good news, I've finished writing the next chapter, I'll start proofreading it this evening, I hope to have it out tomorrow night, Wednesday at the latest.
Well, I still don't really understand what the problem was, especially considering some of the images you can see on Wattpad. But I made the change, and I think I prefer the new one for the best.
It's really nice that you're writing again, don't hesitate to let me know if you publish anything!
That’s shocking that they did anything.
I thought they were pretty hands off for the most part.
It’s awesome to see your story has gotten so much traction. I’m going to give it a read. I got back into writing in the middle of last month and am taking a similar approach on keeping it pretty mild, and focusing more on the story and characters.
Hello there
