Hey, my lovelies! Just a quick reminder, since I’ve been getting a lot of comments lately:
          	
          	Fanfiction cannot be monetised. Not by you, the author, or anyone else. If someone tries to charge you for art or services connected to your fanfiction—and you pay—you’re both breaking the law. Fanfiction uses copyrighted characters and worlds, so monetising it is copyright infringement. That can lead to lawsuits, bans from platforms like Wattpad, and account termination. The same goes for fanfiction about bands or real people—you cannot profit from it.
          	
          	If you get comments like:
          	
          	“I have a great idea after reading your work! Do you have another place we can discuss this?”
          	
          	“Your chapter inspired me to create something I’d love to share. Can we talk elsewhere?”
          	
          	 That’s a red flag. Report it immediately. These commenters are likely trying to exploit you, turning your work into a transactional situation.
          	
          	I fully support artists and creatives, but money cannot exchange hands when it comes to fanfiction. If someone is truly inspired, they can make fan art (with the author’s permission), but they cannot charge for it. Doing so is illegal, can result in lawsuits, permanent bans, and even IP address blacklisting. Platforms can and will hand over information to law enforcement if needed. The consequences are very real—both for the author who allows it and for the person asking.
          	
          	As for me: I will report any such comments immediately. No questions, no conversation. I’ll provide Wattpad with direct links to both the comment and the user’s profile, including anything visible on their “Conversations” tab.
          	
          	Stay safe, protect your work, and don’t let anyone exploit your creativity.

Hi all, just a quick message here to introduce you all to a new writer. He is one of my best friends and he is thinking of beginning his journey here on WattPad. His pen-name in KyloRagnar1 and he has posted a small, short excerpt from his World War 2 Vampire Fantasy book called No Mans Land. Which you can find in his stories list. So if you would all be so kind as to pop on over there and take some time to read the prologue, give a vote or a comment, it would mean the world to both him and myself. He has a wonderful concept here and if he gets enough interest in this, he will continue writing it. The prologue is currently published and is still in a first draft stage. But it is still well written and the concept is super intriguing! My fantasy lovers, I think, will enjoy it as much as I do!

Hello again, wonderful writer  Your last novel was amazing, I enjoyed reading it, and I really loved the way they were reunited. I'm glad you liked my idea, I had it right after reading your novel. I hope you find it good enough to write another story for Jaqen and Arya

Seeing as Wattpad has now switched off DM's. I have since lost all of my requests! So if you know you sent me a request in the last two months or so, you can let me know via the below: 
          
          https://discord.com/invite/jnyqAjbv
          
          This is the Discord server that I just built. It's something I've wanted to do for a while so that I can better interact with my readers. And where my readers can interact with one another. 
          
          Any requests will need to be sent to me again and you can use Discord to do that. 
          
          Thanks! 
          
          Xx

Did you hear that Reita from the GazettE just died recently 

YourWorstKeptSecret

@GhostVampireGal Yes I did. I couldn't believe it! It was such a shock. He was still so young! My heart goes out to the rest of the guys and to Reita's family. Because if all of the fans are in shock, goodness knows how his friends and family are feeling, right now.

Mini check in my loves. For those of you looking for The Voice of The Betrayed, I have unpublished it for the moment. This is because I will be giving it an overhaul. The story is now massive. (I have chapters that haven't been uploaded yet) So I am turning it into a trilogy. Yeah...it's that massive now. But because of this, I am going to be editing what I have published so far. There will be a lot of changes made, to adjust for its new scope and to make it flow better. Then I will repost it. What is written so far will be republished under a slightly different title. This title will be 'The Voice of The Betrayed : The Plea.' This will become Book One of The Betrayed Trilogy. So for those of you that I have seen consistently following along with this one, don't worry! It will be back and hopefully better than ever. It just needs to undergo a lil' maintenance, right now. In the meantime, I have plenty of other works for you to peruse if you need too.

Hello everyone! So I'm popping a message up here to let you all know that I will be on a short hiatus from writing for the next month or two. This is due to me participating in NaNoWriMo this year. I've began plotting out my original work and starting on the first draft. So I will be focusing on that. So I will probably see you all at the end of November again. In the meantime, I will still be accepting requests during this time. So send me a private message and I will start writing your requests when I return. Much love, -Miss Secret.
