Hey, y'all. Afraid I got some bad news so bear with me.
I've both been informed - and found out through other creators - that Hasbro is enacting their latest in corporate takeover by pushing WattPad to remove MLP stories and fanfics from the platform, entirely.
I've already heard news about one of the biggest MLP fanfic writers - TheNintegaGuy - having some of their season stories taken down over this move.
In regard to my own Equestria at War stories... I'm holding hope that they MIGHT be untouched given their basis is the HoI4 mod and not the show itself -- but I don't think they'll be safe, knowing Hasbro.
For those who do like the story, fear not. I've already moved all the chapters of both the first and second season stories of EaW to other platforms like FIMfiction and Google Docs so the work is safe for now.
What does this mean for you all?
I plan to keep my Equestria at War stories up and active on WattPad for as long as I can -- both as my act of personal defiance against this move made by Hasbro, and as me refusing to give in to the tactics. So, I recommend reading up my Equestria at War series while you can -- and reading all the other fantastic MLP fanfics on this platform while you're at it.
If Hasbro wants Equestria at War taken down, they can come over and do it themselves -- I will be keeping the stories up on WattPad as long as I'm able.
Just a reminder that much like the characters in that story, don't be afraid to stand up against tyranny and evil when it rears its ugly head, in pursuit of good.
I hope you all have a good day - a good week - and keep your heads held high despite this bad news.
Later, y'all!

As a quick aside - until this move with Hasbro ends, if it ends... I'll look into either moving my EaW stuff into FIMfiction or Archive of Our Own (which I didn't even know existed until I read Nintega's own announcement).
I'll keep you all posted.
