Hello everyone, I apologize for being on a long hiatus. After revisiting the site this year, I got a message from Wattpad saying that they took down Our Long Lost Child (OLLC) for "a violation of policies and/or guidelines."
I am absolutely devastated because the story had been up for 6 years (it was first published in January 2018), why was it deleted now in June 2024? It was never changed nor updated, so I have no idea what policies it apparently violated. I sent an appeal to Wattpad, and I am currently waiting on a response. I've already waited a week, and I am afraid that I might not be able to restore OLLC to its original state. Unfortunately, I do not have a copy. I only have unpolished rough drafts. I would have to rewrite the entire thing which will take a while, since I am now in college studying biochemistry.
I had planned on finishing the story till its end. Where I left off, it was right towards the happy finale everyone was waiting for. The only problem is, I did not know how to write it. I had a huge writer's block that led to my hiatus, and at the time I was a junior in high school that took way too many AP classes. I completely forgot about this account when COVID hit, and I had tried to venture off into my own romance story that did not go so well at first. I was young & didn't know any better, and I ended up in a situation where I was SA-ed. I did not realize it was SA until after I left that person, and that made me hate both my body and romance. Eventually, I found someone who loves me for who I am & actually asks for consent. Now that I believe in romance again, my current boyfriend convinced me to return to Wattpad. I even posted a TikTok about it, and after it got so many views, OLLC got deleted. I even have half of the next chapter written, and now I don't even know what to do anymore with the entire story wiped off Wattpad. I apologize to everyone who waited all these years, if you guys want me to repost OLLC, please let me know
