@wattpad
There needs to be something on the cover of stories that identifies it as part of one of your pay to read betas so that i don't have to waste time adding, reading part of and then removing a story from my library.
i don't object to paying for people's hard work. i'm a member of a few other sites that are pay to read i love it. It's cool to be able to support people and also kill fewer trees.
What i don't do is begin to pay for something that started out free. That is the worst business model of the internet and it almost never works.
Imagine if they decided that they wanted to charge us to use twitter.
i don't mind that you're trying out these different things to support writers, i just want something that let's me know before i add the story. You've got all kinds of badges already, make one for this.
Also, i want the writers to be required to be specific about what's going on not, 'i was selected for this program here's a link if you wanna know more! XD' It should be the very first chapter not five chapters in right before i get to the paid portion of the story. That's just underhanded.
Okay. The end.
@PinkFluffyBunny11 Not in general but they're testing a program in certain countries for pay to read. i'm not sure what the procedure is cos it's not available in my country but, on your homepage you'll see a section called 'Supported Stories' and, the first few chapters are available for free like regular stories but, after a certain point, you have to be in one of the places participating in the program to even have the option to pay so that you can continue reading.
When i wrote this, i had just gone through like, six stories that were part of the program and had no indication of being in it until you got up to the paid chapters. i think since then they've fixed it so you know before you start reading though.
Violá! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of fate.
This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is a vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished.
Remember, remember...
idk what's going on with updates bcos i never update anything until forced but, if this is annoying, i am really very sorry.
So, like, are these new updates meant to be showing up on everybody's wall??
@wattpad i dun think anybody likes this...it makes story updates and everything else relevant difficult to find. People are unfollowing and it's all just a mess.
Please change it back. Thanks.
@PinkFluffyBunny11 Are you talking about the status notifications? I think it's just a new update from wattpad, now. When you tick on "notfiy my followers", it blasts into all your followers' notifs :-( It can indeed be very annoying, especially if you're following hundreds of people and they're all making status updates every day.
@Amanda-Mae Really though, thank YOU for writing and sharing with us!!
Your story is amazing, unique, enthralling and i can't wait for the rest!!
Have a fantastic weekend!!
@MerakiMeg Seriously!! They were really coming from the left for no reason...and with absolutely zero behind them. Made themselves look stupid is really all they accomplished.
You were actually quite kind. You just explained to them what they should've read before saying anything at all.
@MerakiMeg same, I ignored it thinking that maybe they'll have to figure it out or suck it up but then the next person was so rude I had to bring my alter ego slash the sass queen out lmao. I hope I wasn't too harsh, but oui oui, c'est la vie.
