What's up with all these fake followers with the word "sexy" in their name? Anyone else having this issue and are these people (robots?) a problem? I wish there was a way to block to this type of thing.

Thanks! All my fake followers have disappeared suddenly, so I'm thinking the Wattpad admins did something about it.

Thank you for the vote, means a lot! ^^ Thoughts I’d ask if there was anything in particular that you enjoyed? Or if there might have been something you didn’t, as that can be just as interesting ~

@NKLeullier Oh, glad you enjoyed it, also hope I´ve manage to maintain the quality and that you´ll continue to enjoy it~ Anyway, thank you :) Always find it hard to respond to compliments, but it makes me happy that's for sure. I´m after all also happy with how it turned out, the opening sequence along with the battle. Especially the battle, as it was the first time I tried to write something like that, along with the magic.
            
            Ah, yeah, you´re right, might just go in a fix that right now hehe, thank you! You can become so blind to your own writing, so always appreciate the feedback. Going to keep an eye out for that when I do the revisions as well, as I´m planning to do the final one when the story is completed. Got plenty of notes for it by now ~ And yeah, it´s supposed to be in past tense, but present have a tendency to sneak in. Especially in the first part, which was supposed to be written in past tense, to begin with, but what I noticed when I revised it was that I actually had more past tense as I was better with that.
            
            Okay, enough rambling on my part hehe. Thank you again, think I´m actually going to sit down with these smaller changes later today, as there are some fixes I´ve been planning to make already ~

@Cederix I've only ready the first chapter so far. I enjoyed the careful set-up of your scene: from the room in general and the dancers to then have the reader focus on the young man and his odd behavior. You took your time and built suspense with your descriptions. The action/battle sequence is good and I loved the ice magic! 
            
            Some advice: Your text could use some minor editing. For instance, you often say the same thing twice in the same sentence. Here are some examples:
            - "...the sound of people's shoes hitting the fine marble floor." You don't need the word "people" because the reader understands that shoes of course go with people. I would change it to: "...the sound of shoes hitting the fine marble floor." 
            - "The person spoke with a friendly tone, it was that of a man." This can be shortened for better effect to: "The man spoke in a friendly tone."
            - Some of your verb tenses need editing. You usually use past tense, but occasionally some present tense made it's way into the story.
            
            Overall it's small, easy stuff to fix and it would make your piece even tighter!

Dear Followers,
          I'm sharing my first longer short story on wattpad.  Black Moth is a noir, serial killer story, so be aware of adult content.  Part 1 of 2 -Eyes Like Mary- is now up for reading. This is a character-driven pulp piece, but as usual I love playing with language. If you want to read, vote and comment that would be appreciated, but the reading is most important to me. Stories come to life when they have an audience!

@Nyhterides Yes! I enjoyed your poetic approach to writing. Beautiful use of language. I'm learning that that can be hard to come by on Wattpad.
