I am really sorry, but I am really triggered and will stop posting for a while.
A) I am kinda in a writing slump. Getting out the chapters is slow and I don't wanna burn out again like I did for 2 years during Hallor Chronicles.
B) I am convinced people either don't read with understanding / skim through chapters / or have IQ of a literal worm.
Every time I post a new chapter, there is some Samantha1564879841 type account posting a comment on it how they love the story, want to draw art for it and connect more on other socials (since you can't DM on wattpad anymore). I don't say all of them are bots/scammers, and there might be several true artists providing their skills for authors. Still, I report them. Because honestly, if you had read the full story and liked it, you wouldn't just comment on one chapter. You would follow me, vote on the story, or at least save it to a reading list... AND you would have read the F*CKING DISCLAIMER. LITERALLY THE POST NO.1!!! There is a statement about these comments, and ALSO a note that if you wanna talk, MY SOCIALS ARE LISTED ON MY PROFILE!!!
It's not that hard to check the profile of the author whose book you are reading and are interested in. Or to come here into the Conversations and post something. I would think that being registered for one month already on Wattpad, people learned their way around. The layout and search and everything isn't so complicated like other platforms, so please...use your brains for once.
I get that this is their shot at getting commissions, but you don't have to be an asshole. The authors with not many reads or followers get excited to see that notification pop up, and they end up only being disappointed it's yet another bot/scam comment.
Gee~
Anyway, this doesn't mean I will stop writing. I still have my projects and I want to finish them. But I will take my time with that.
Everyone else, don't fall for any scams, stay hydrated and have a nice beautiful Monday.
