Since some people have been asking me to make a Discord server to talk about boney boys and get in contact with me for requests (aka DM me since Wattpad got rid of that little feature), I decided to make one. You're under no obligation to join, even if you have a request - this is just for funsies - but I will post updates on how my Error story is coming along there since, yk, I'm really slow about it... 
          	Here's if you wanna copy/paste: https://discord.gg/fRSVJjsZHR 
          	Otherwise, the link in my 'about' section should take you to the same spot <3

@PricklyHedgie can't wait to get discord soon so I can post fanart of the stories there:3

Ok, I'm so sorry it would NOT let me paste this into your comments, so I thought I'd say it here!! In relation to the Error story...
          
          I'll say this: I almost woke my entire house by screaming out of pure utter joy when I saw you posted.
          
          But also, we're so proud of you and so very fond of your writing. Before I got into the undertale fandom, I was severely lost in rottmnt. Only until I got into UT aus did I realize you wrote one of my all-time favorite rottmnt fanfics. You're an amazing writer. Your creativity is inspiring, and I truly hope none of us (me..) added onto or caused any direct stress in relation to the progress of the error story. I believe your relationship to the creation of this plot adds more depth and emotion than anything else. It almost makes it endearing if you think about it, considering its ERROR of all characters. He's a pain in Everybodys ass.
          
           And not to add emotions where they're not necessary, but... You've personally given me hope at the worst stages of my life. I often delve into fiction to cope. seeing you posted is more than anything I can ask for most days. I hope you're okay, really. You as a person deserve to feel joy when engaging in your hobbies. Definitely don't make any more promises in relation to undertale or underverse, just because it seems that may not be your thing??? I know sometimes promises make things feel less voluntary, and it starts to become a chore. Dont feel bad about your relationship straining with the fandom because that happens. if you're able to write TWO whole books about two separate plotlines that tie into eachother almost effortlessly, and are able to update your one-shot with full chapter length plots in a reasonable time frame, on top of working on aNOTHER book, then hopes definitely not all lost. it just takes time and a break. and remember breaks are not limited to a certain time frime. Much love from ALL of us, and thank you, so, SO much for being the creative spark we all need.

I appreciate it <3 Tho I can't claim to be active these days, haha -_-"
            Irregardless, it's nice to know that someone notices all my hard work - that means more to me than you know <333 and thank you again for all your kind words, honey!

@StrawberryMilkSnake I'm happy they mean something to you! The feeling is mutual. 
            
            What I mean by updating the one-shot is that you update it noticeably more than a lot of people when it comes to their stories. (NO shade, all writers are amazing.) You'd think someone who wrote two separate stories that are hours worth of reading wouldn't be as active afterward, yet you ARE. You get a lot of stuff done, and it's never disappointing. We are all so proud of you, and your passion is beautiful. My self blaming was more of a half joke. However, I know the reminder of him was NOT pleasant coming from me, hah. In my opinion, no matter how you feel, at your core, you are extremely creative. Do not let your perfectionist tendencies cloud that fact about you (・ω・)

I'm so sorry for (nearly) waking up your whole house lol <3
            
            Lol yeah, I dabble in multiple fandoms - I don't stick with one thing too long -_-" 
            And yes, Error definitely is a pain! Most of the pressure was self-inflicted tho, so don't blame yourself for any of it - I hold myself to too high of a standard & I got in my own way. Long story short: thank you for the concern but it was all my fault, not yours :')
            
            I'm glad I gave you some hope, honey <3 You're not the only one who uses fiction to cope -_-"
            I definitely won't be making promises for any other content - I learned my lesson lol. I haven't felt so un-creative in my life. I genuinely hate the Error fic (which is a first for me - it usually takes at least a year or so after I've improved my writing quite a bit). 
            Idk if I agree about posting one-shots in a decent timeframe lol, I've gotten really bad about that tbh, but I still appreciate the kind words, hon. They mean a lot. Thank you <3

Hi, I'm new to this platform and have been following you for a few months. I wanted to congratulate you because I really enjoyed the two books, His Summoner and Her Guardian. (For the record, I love how you described Error; I'd love a book just about him... even in a new story, but with this way of been.)
          
          I haven't been enjoying reading fanfiction for long, but since I've been obsessed with Undertale and the Underverse lately, I have to say that your two stories have really stuck with me, among the many I've read.
          
          I wanted to ask you a couple of things:
          I recently started writing my own fanfiction, and I was thinking of writing at least the first part before trying to publish anything. This way, I wouldn't let  too much time pass between chapters, but I'd like someone to read a beta version to get some feedback, both structural and grammatical... basically, to help me with a revision. Do you have any suggestions for finding beta readers?
          Also, I'm Italian, and even though I have no problem understanding English, I must admit I often use the translator, just to enjoy reading in peace and I must say it often translates well. But I have no idea what it would look like if someone used the translator from Italian to English. Do you think it's better to publish two versions, one translated and one in the original language, or can I hope that with a good introduction and and maybe asking please with puppy eyes, people will still read it using the web's automatic translator?
          
          Yes, I know I've written a lot... I apologize, but thank you for your patience.
          Again, congrats

StrawberryMilkSnake

I'm glad to hear that! And yes, you shouldn't worry too much about what other people think of your work. The important thing is that you enjoyed writing it and you're proud of what you made! :D
            
            I'm happy to help! As for how long your chapters should be, I tend to shoot for 2,000 to 4,000 words. If it's a little longer or shorter than that, it's fine, but I consider those to be 'bite-sized chapters'. They're not too long but not too short. Of course that's just personal opinion. Everyone has a different sweet spot for how long they like their chapters :)
            
            P.S. I wish you luck in finding Italian friends! 
            
            As for how you want to communicate, we could use Discord if you have that? You can feel free to send me your username or join my Discord server then add me from there. Whatever works :)

@StrawberryMilkSnake First of all, thank you very much for the answer ( and GREAT FOR THE BOOK, CAN’T WAIT TO READ IT)
            
            As for the rest, I was suspecting that at the end I should probably translate the all book in English . ( maybe I will publish 2 version….the original one, and the translated one, I don’t know)
            
            You see, I’m not very interesting of gain votes or something like that, I just have a story in mind but I don’t want to keep it for my own. Even if  I found quite enthusiastic to put so much effort and personal thoughts and feelings in a work like this, as a personal experience to enjoy, I would actually like that other people would read my story, maybe enjoying it too.
            
            Besides, how can I get if is it worthy , if I don’t, at leat, try to confront myself with other people.
            But I'm probably panicking for nothing and just need to try.
            
            As for the possibility to read my story and help me with the correct comprehension  and grammar in English, I really really thank you. You are very kind  for that.
            Maybe I’ll have to write a little more, before starting translate, so I can give you more chapters to read. Besides I have another question for you: I usually like long chapters, but I suspect that mine are too long…so, based on your personal expiries, how long a chapter should be?
            
            In any case , really thank you for your great kindness.
            
            P.S. for Italian beta readers, is more complicated….I never found a big community that actually knows about Undertale, and even if I have a couple of people very close to me, I’m very embarrassed to show them the script. But I’ll found a solution for that
            
            Let me know how can I share a beta version with you, so we don’t have to use the comment here.
            
            Thanks again
            Have a Wonderfull day ;-)

Funny you should bring up a book for Error - I'm actually planning on dropping a new book with him real soon :D 
            I'm glad to hear you liked my books so much tho! I hope you're finding plenty of other fics to enjoy as well <3 
            
            First of all, good idea to write the first part of the book before publishing so you can update often! That's very smart :D
            As for what you should do with your book: that's completely your choice. It's not a bad idea to post 2 books to reach more readers, but your views & votes will be split between them (if you care about stuff like that). It would definitely help you practice your English if you wrote one of the books in English (again, I don't know if you care about that kinda thing, but it's something to consider), and I know a book in English will reach the most readers (compared to an Italian book). Something else to keep in mind: not everyone reads on their laptop or PC when they're on Wattpad, some people use the app instead on their phone, which doesn't have the translate feature.
            As for where to find beta readers: I can be a beta reader for you if you'd like :D No pressure, of course. If you're looking for other options, I'm sure if you asked for assistance on my Discord server, a number of my followers would be happy to help as well. Other than that, I really don't have many ideas to help you out :/ Beta readers aren't the easiest to come by, unfortunately. You could also ask your friends for help, if they're willing to help you.

Hello!! I js want to say that im kind of an old reader(maybe since last year??), but i only read ur wholesome fanfics(im inlove w the Leo and Nightmare's fanfics) on the browser w no actual account. But i feel like im obligated to show how much your lovely fanfics rlly comforted me for so long, although that im not the type to reread via i had memorize everything so clear so reading it again rlly sounds like a waste of time, especially if i already knows what is going on but i think i may vote and make requests for ur hot take of AUs sans x reader(i don't have discord so idk if im still allowed to like request or smith).
          
          Regardless of all of this, i admit that your writing, worldview, plot, and character buildings is quite admirable(pretty sure u already knows this so yeh). Anyway i hope ur life's is going well and thanks for reading this:33

Hey Sbms!♡!♡! I dont wanna fear monger or worry anyone reading this. But I have no idea if you're on ao3 or anything like that. SO, just in case you're not, I was thinking about warning you that there might be a chance Wattpad COULD be targeted for ID verification in the US, since it's not an archive like Ao3 and there's been mass censorship going on. I looked into it and the chances are probably slim, but in the rare case that it does get shut down, I think it would be a good idea to copy everything like your stories and such to move over there, as to keep it available in case of an emergency! I do enjoy your writing and look forward to future works, and thats why I am bringing this up now♡ my only worry was for your content specifically because you're the only person I really stay on wattpad for in the first place. I hope you've been doing good so far, lovely, and I hope everything is running smoothly. Much love from Donna and all of your fans!!! 

StrawberryMilkSnake

@666flamingo I appreciate you mentioning this to me - I hadn't heard any of that before. But there's no need to worry - I actually write all of my fics on Google Docs then copy/paste it onto Watty (and Quotev) ^-^ There's always a chance of something getting deleted so everything has a backup (well, everything that's worth holding onto, anyways).
            Thanks again for letting me know, and I hope you're doing wonderful as well! Much love from this silly lil author <3
