I'm back with a new work (an unfinished work from 2024 that I've decided to pick up and continue), "Cursed Songs and Tails". Other essentials, except for the story parts have been posted to build up curiosity. Please check it out if you have some time. :D 
          	
          	The original first chapter will be posted on 31st August, 2026 (Monday). 
          	
          	P.S. This was my first time experimenting with different elements to make a Fantasy book cover and I quite like the outcome! I've also written the blurb in a style I have NEVER tried before but there is always a first time for everything, right? 
          	
          	Happy Reading!

Soo "This App Has Zombies" not only made it to the Longlist of ONC 2026 but also is a Round 3 Ambassadors Pick. This is honestly surprising SOB, I thought Round 3 was going to be the end of my journey. But apparently I'm still in the long run. 
          
          ALSO GUYS PLS PLS GO CHECK OUT "Voicemails for Isabelle." It's streaming on Netflix rn and I just finished the movie today, it’s SO GOOD. If you enjoy good rom-coms with a unique plot and stories that go beyond romance, then trust me this film is for you.

Guys there is a new scam going around where individuals pretending to be from Wattpad's T&S are asking for account information and stuff, in the guise of their new verification system or something like that. They will scare you saying if you do not complete this 'verification' process, you'll temporarily lose access from trying to publish or edit your works. DO NOT fall for this scam, and/or click any link. 
          
          Instead immediately block the user and report their profile and message to Wattpad T&S. 
          
          Stay safe guys. <33

Got 2 emails yesterday, finally my works have been removed from Google Play Books. I have to say their DMCA form fill-ups are quite useful and helpful, but yeah they still need to strengthen their copyright authentication system. T__T

             Oof, I'm sorry you had to deal with that. As someone who works with authors and manuscripts, I know how frustrating it can be to see your work uploaded or distributed without proper authorization.
            
            I'm glad the DMCA process worked and that Google responded quickly, but I completely understand your concern about copyright verification. Creators put so much time and effort into their work that stronger safeguards would save a lot of stress and unnecessary takedown requests.
            
            Hopefully, this is the last time you have to deal with something like that, and now you can focus on your writing instead of chasing copyright issues. Wishing you the best with your projects moving forward.

Got a message from AmbassadorsCommunication profile that even "Fantasy by Asian & Pacific Islander Authors" by the Fantasy profile (where Fall of Dragonesia's some chapters were featured) has been found on Google Books. The Ambs reached out to us featured authors so we can fill up the DMCA. 
          
          Like this is so disappointing. What the hell is Google Books doing, they should introduce a system where strong verification is required before any work is reproduced. You can't just publish something and profit from it without the rightful author's written permission.

            That's incredibly frustrating to hear. First, your own work, and now an anthology featuring multiple authors being affected as well that's a much bigger issue than an isolated incident.
            
            I'm glad the ambassadors reached out so everyone involved can take action, but authors shouldn't have to spend their time filing DMCA notices to protect work that was never authorized for reproduction in the first place. Writing and publishing already require so much effort, and it's disappointing when creators have to deal with copyright violations on top of everything else.
            
            I hope all of the affected authors are able to get their works removed quickly. Situations like this really highlight the need for stronger verification and permission systems before copyrighted content can be distributed or monetized. Wishing you and the other authors the best as you work through this.

I was recently made aware by a friend that my ONC entry was published on Google Books, that also without my permission, and being sold for 50-60  cents. Just now filled up the Google DMCA form.  I also learnt this has been happening to several Wattpad writers. Please do check if your works are on there as well guys.

Hey, not sure if you heard about writers’ books being pirated in Google Play Books. I saw my ONC book there and yours is in there too :(  They are being sold for 50 cents :((  I filed a Google Play DMCA takedown form for my book. WendyyWolfe has a book posted about it. Link to form:
