It sucks how young justice is leaving prime too
Man I love ao3, but seeing all these ao3 users saying that these 'new' guidelines are new are just so wrong.
Still stand on that wattpad guidelines can be taken subjective and vague and if they are using ai to deem whats bad or good, thats not good. I disagree with people using ai to write or make art, why would I want ai to go through my books and deem whats good or bad?
But ao3 users clearly don't know that there were already a few updates in the past 14 years I've been on here.
I've used wattpad since 2013, thats when I was 12.(mainly used it on Google before downloading the app)(I was reading things at 12, thing I probably shouldn't have been reading, but whoops. Didn't affect me, though)
I remember when you could find straight up corn gifs on here.
I used some nsfw gifs in my first few books.
OG readers would maybe remember that☠️ but i did.
Then maybe a couple years in of me writing and posting, they had the first real update that I was worried about since i was finally writing.
They started to make sure the gifs people were using were more tamed, so I had to take them all off. So thats one of the first ones. (To say the least, there were a lot of gifs that were so not needed on here☠️ not by me, i had steamy gifs, but like THOSE gifs☠️)
Then I think a couple years after that they did a bit of more censoring.
Then I don't remember maybe what 4 years ago they had their other Update THAT ARE BASICALLY THE ONE RIGHT NOW.
Like these new updates are more detailed and will say have more censorship. But they are also not so different to the update years ago.
So like ao3 users saying that these are new, are wrong. They really aren't and saying "well when I was on like 5 or so years ago they had nsfw stuff so these new updates have to be new." is spreading misinformation
+
I stand for the fanfiction etiquette. That's been on every website and app because they are normal asks of people.
Like,
Be nice. Not that hard.
Don't spread hate. Again thats not hard.
Don't like, don't read then. You don't like soulmate books, or poly books or harems or shipxship or xreader, don't read them if you don't like them. Once again, shouldn't be hard.
Don't give unsolicited help when not asked(Especially it being opinion based then actually being helpful[I could on this one☠️])
These are normal asks of people. I've seen all these etiquette being used on all of these websites and I've seen them not used on all these websites. Its not just wattpad that doesn't use etiquette, its all of them.
Thank you for anyone who reads another rant.
Also I never meant any of this with any hate or to be rude. Just stating something that I feel are facts. Like, these new guidelines ARE not new.
I hope you all are having a great 24/7
(Wattpad always had nsfw, and will always have nsfw, maybe with more guidelines then before, but still, there's nsfw on here)
We had an update 4ish years ago. I remember it so well because i was rushing and panicking into my books and switching my ocs ages because of the new update guidelines.
So if your saying you were on 5 to 6 years ago and haven't used it since, that's before they update. (And you probably were here after they banned messed up gifs. So they did miss the freaky/steamy times) Before it had more censorship because when i started wattpad it hardly had any censorship. You could basically find anything on here, like ao3 has. Now, no.
So yes ao3 user's, these new guidelines are very, very similar to the old guidelines. They are not new.
Its just getting annoying.
I'm glad that my books are probably going to be fine. But its become disheartening seeing and hearing so many times that wattpsd user's can't write.
I struggle so much with my mind, especially when it comes down to my writing. So hearing over and over and over again that there's no good books on here or we can't write, is really disheartening and mind fuc*er to me.
I've read the new wattpad update, and will like to state, thank you to wattpad for clarifying more to us.
Personally for me, me/myself, i would still be very hesitant with this all. Because again, if its ai going through and deeming whats good or not(something thats subjective) i dont think thats a good idea. If its not ai, then this is probably semi fine.
Most of my books are plot and the bonus is the steamy stuff. However my stuff can have bleak are dark stuff... so... idk.
But again thank you wattpad for more clarification.
Again though, yes I've read the past few days updated and todays.
I'm just going to come in and say this
Yes, I've read the new wattpad guidelines, mutplie times.
Yes i know wattpad isnt taking all smut and violence down, only the ones that they deem to have to much smut plotted in them or too much violence in their book and so on.
However, I think its hard to say what is for plot and what isn't. Especially if your not the one writing the book.
A lot of this is subjective, not objective.
