So, it has come to my attention that Wattpad has removed my first book The Master's Pet from the site. The reason being it went against the community guidelines. They gave me no warning or notice before removing it. The story is not even in my drafts. It's just gone. For anyone that has followed me for a long time you know I am an improve author. None of the chapters are written down on paper. They exist only on this site, so this is a devastating blow to me. I am in complete shock that they did not give me notice to adapt the story to their guidelines, or unpublish it so I could edit. It would have been the right thing to do.
The appeal has already been made, and I am working fast to protect my other stories. Origins is not even finished yet, and I am not sure I want to continue it on this site. I have been on Wattpad since I was a teenager. I've always trusted this site, and now that trust is destroyed. If they give me my story back I will be thankful, but I will move it to a secure file. I was coming in to edit the story anyway because there were things about it that I did not like anymore. This is also a combination of readers reporting the story because they did not like the content. That is why the comments were censored on the book. My thinking is the reports became too much, and Wattpad decided to take action in the worst way possible.
So this is what I will do. I am moving all my stories to a protected file just in case Wattpad removes them or my account. That way I will still have them, edit them, and in Origins' case finish them. For now I think the only safe story is the recent one I've been working on, but it too will be protected just in case. I'm not sure what the future holds for me on Wattpad, but if it is the end hopefully I can get these stories out to you in another way.
