It's meeee againnnn!  About halfway through the application period for my Percy Jackson applyfic, Madness Ensues!  I definitely still need some OCs to help round out a diverse cast, so if you're even a little interested, I'd love to invite you to apply.  If you know someone who'd also be interested, please don't gatekeep this!

Hey!  Still looking for lots of characters to possibly join the cast of my Percy Jackson applyfic!  Everyone is welcome to apply some OCs!  I'm so excited to look at the forms and start picking out the cast members - it's sure to be a fun applyfic for everyone involved (:  
          If you've applied already, thanks so much!  Please tell your friends to apply some OCs so I can get started on time!

My power is back, which means I will be much faster to answer any questions about my new applyfic, Madness Ensues.  Is your OC coming to the murder mystery party at the Big House Attic?  Apply to find out!  And tell your friends, the more the merrier!
          Spots are limited, so everyone is welcome to apply as many OCs as they would like!

Hey!  I'm writing an applyfic; everyone's invited to apply an original character.  It's a PJO applyfic that's got some silly-goofy Halloween vibes.  It'll be fun, and it'd mean a lot if you checked it out!

RED I FINALLY GOT DISCORD @hazellevessque

Thx for the follow! Can I ask why

Boop! You have been booped! Now go boop 20 other people!
          
          
          I mean, if you're okay with this being on your announcement board.  If not, I can delete it, its fine.

There's been a lot of misinformation about the new updates to Wattpad's content guidelines, so I thought I'd read the fine print and explain why a lot of these updates are actually working for smaller, newer authors!  
          
          I've been seeing a lot of talk about "censorship" on Wattpad, and that's actually not true!  They're always implementing stuff to track down content that violates their guidelines, but the guidelines themselves haven't changed.  You can still post sexual content, graphic violence, and stories with SH as a theme, so long as you're not glorifying SH/violence or writing illegal sexual relationships.  That hasn't changed, so nobody should be afraid of their stories being taken down (:
          
          What has changed?  Wattpad runs on this algorithm that boosts the most popular stories.  The changes are to its ranking system and how it chooses which stories to promote on your home page.  Are you having trouble finding something to read because you're always seeing the same handful of Percabeth high school fics from 2014?  Yeah, me too!  The new update stops pushing fics in the rankings that haven't been updated in 6+ months.  You'll still be able to find and read those fics, but now new authors are going to see more engagement because Wattpad will actively boost their fics to potential readers.  
          
          So overall, I think it could really be a good thing for folks who are new to fanfic writing or who are trying to promote new stories!

My Heroes of Olympus fic, Your Chariot Awaits, turns two years old today!  This was one of my favorite fics to write, and I'm so proud to say it recently won an award in The Muse's Ankh Awards.  If you like Heroes of Olympus and workplace comedies, I'd love to invite you to check this one out!
