[PLEASE NOTE: I AM NOT (VERY) ACTIVE ON THIS ACCOUNT ANYMORE.

I will still check in, mainly because it's now a storage space for original drafts of my stories, but current posts are outdated, while reading and publishing are on a total hiatus.

Sorry if this is disappointing in any way (I doubt it lol), but I just don't take kindly to Wattpad, and in a lot of ways, I feel like it doesn't take kindly to me. Not that I'm targeting any users, just the platform itself. It's not fun anymore, and every time I try diving into its deeper corners, I feel like there's something toxic. I couldn't tell you exactly what or why, but something about the culture just kinda rubs me the wrong way. Again, not talking about any specific users. So many of you are freaking awesome and I've genuinely enjoyed connecting with you. And of course, this is just my personal experience. I've been around a long time, and the platform has seen me at my best and worst. Likewise, I've seen the best and worst of this platform. There are users who I enjoyed getting to know and many who genuinely wanted to help me grow, and I deeply appreciate them. Then, in contrast, I've seen trolls, scammers looking for naive writers, and even just terrible advice that essentially meant "give up." And it got to me for a long time.

Either way, I feel like the "Raven" on this website may be the original, but just as many thought my stories were, it's a very rough, naive, and unsalvageable draft of her that I don't want to continue.

Dramatics aside, being so active on another website, semi-active on a third, and having a lot of work irl now, it could also just be that I've overwhelmed myself. And Wattpad was just the first to get axed from the routine.

I'll say it again, I'm not making a target of any specific users, this is to do with my own experiences, and my own presence here.

Thanks for stopping by, I hope you have a great day ~ ]

Don't want to sound dramatic, but this is possibly the last announcement you'll see from me. I've been dead so long, doubt anyone will care, but I thought I'd say it anyway. I've put the reason why i...
