@ShadowWoodly
Okie dokie. I’ve been inactive for plenty of reasons…one being I just moved last month. So that needed to be situated, and then internet issues following THEN….I wanna rewrite my stuff. Which i’ll likely do. BUT the old stuff will be kept online
Okayyyy I don’t think i am gonna make it into the Watty’s this year ;-; so much happened between june and July and I am staring at a 13k draft….
That said. I’ll happily post for all my books and what was supposed to be the book on august 1st
….*sigh* fine. I’ll only add one book and update two. guess Roe Jekyll can wait will try to edit everything I got xP
Update-ish I guess? Looking like I may have to wait to update my projects until the submission is fully up and out in the wattys. But once the submission is postsd everything will get a updateeee
To whoever might be interested in this…be it followers or silent readers who don’t want to interact with anything yet or never—
I am currently writing up the draft for The Wattys! For this reason the other three books will be put on hold through the drafting phase (as I have to write 50k words xD….help me @-@ I hardly made it to 11k with Not so Average…) however during the revision and refinement phase expect updates to return to ‘the norm’
Next in the update list for that will happen in this order:
A fate as cursed as mine
Not so Average curious case of Roe Jekyll
Thanks for your patience! If you are even here to begin with I appreciate ya ♥️
@ShadowWoodly well that's definitely ok take your time I hope the best for you good luck❤️
hello.
i have read two of your books.the curious case of roe jekyll and a fate as cursed as mine and i honestly loved both.
i LOVE what your doing.you know about the bots and everything.i actually learned this very late and when one of my friends told me i honestly got VERY disappointed and sad cause i used to get really happy when they told me things like that.
after that whenever i read stories and saw that the writers had replied to these bots i would warn them.
but what you are doing is absolutely genius!
yeah thats everything i wanted to say just that it made me very happy when i saw what you were doing
(and that i wish i found you waaaaay sooner.it could have helped me A LOT )
Thank you so much this helped a lot
The way I used to do it was that I would go to their profile and when I saw that they had zero works but followers I would say that they are bots
@Navakashi Yes ! I don’t mind answering—anything that gets the word spread. 1. Views? Well there’s a speculation there but only because the counter is fickle and will change even if the author skims through the chapter if that’s the case then clearly a bot can click in a chapter and skip to the bottom and comment. However this is mere speculation, and if it is true not all views are going to be fake (not out of hope. I just did a little bit of testing once) as for votes…NAH whether it be from the inability of the bots or scammers not caring enough you will never get a vote from a bot— or at least that is my experience. There are a two ways lemme break them down: Vague comments/inproper addressing: scammers and bots alike essentially copy and paste (evidence of this is the same one commenting the same two exact things on two different stories of mine. I believe it was The Curious case of Roe Jekyll and Not so Average? If not Not so average then a recent chapter in A fate as Cursed as Mine) but point is that copy and pasting is use. So when they try to flatter a author vague and general compliments are sprinkled in (I.E your work is amazing! Has been used but nothing listing why) you can always ask about what they liked so much it isn’t rude and in my experience I never got responses. And then in proper addressing…or I consider in proper. Is that since these are often mass produced ‘Dearest Author’ or ‘Author’ is something commonly user—they don’t bother to call the writer. Second one though and possibly the biggest is 100% trying to get people to communicate offsite. There is plenty of scams connected to this, but if they want to take you off site biggest red flag there is. And last but not least is more so a safety message: don’t trust offers from random people online. Just like you wouldn’t trust a random offer from a stranger in real life. If you do both can potentially hurt you (be it different kinds of hurt) Hope this helped!
@ShadowWoodly I will try my best And I'm really sorry but I just had a question and I think you're the best person I can ask Are the views of our stories fake? What I mean is that can bots leave views or votes? And also how can you be completely sure that a person is a bot? If you have the time I would appreciate it a LOT if you could answer me Thank youuuuu
Finally got to drawing my profile picture :3

Greetings I am ShadowWoodly, if you are looking at my wall then you will see this which I will try to pin as quickly as possible. In simple terms a wave of bots is attacking wattpad currently, sending scams to authors promising to promote them all while attempting to goad their egos. Do not trust accounts ! It isn’t safe! I’ve made as many reports plus one mass report of these accounts to wattpad however I have no idea how far it’ll go. So here is the first list of accounts you should dodge!:

NEW ADDITION THE SPAMBOT ALERT LIST! BEWARE AND BE SAFE

Alright got a chapter up for not so average and a new project. I was gonna plan to get another book up but I think i’ll save that for the wattys ;3
I dunno if anyone will care—but I’ve been getting a lot of reads (for new releases) for a bit. Surely they can’t all be bots and surely one must care?
Not so average will be post poned til the 7th BUT I’d like to say it will be accompanied with some new releases for books on that day.
I have too many w.i.ps xD so whoever is interested there’s that!
To any bots bothering with my page—I am not gonna accept your scams. You can compliment me and all but it won’t go anywhere ultimately.
