hello, everyone, i hope everyone is having a great year so far it’s been a long while since ive been here and i wanna say, i do miss writing on wattpad. wattpad shaped a lot of who i am and what i do in terms of graphic design and writing and this site that ive been on since i was twelve is what drove me to grow my passions. i’ve been wanting to come back here because i truly do miss writing fanfiction but the reason i haven’t really returned is because of the fact things are much different than they used to be. so many ads to purchase coins, you can’t have an ad free experience of reading— books with horrible writing and plots that somehow get book and movie deals. i miss when users used to be passionate about what they wrote that had me addicted to this site for so many reasons. i also haven’t returned after having my pride and joy removed from my account which was devastating.
save me was a crucial point in my life because i ended with 2k votes then suddenly, it was 40k votes and it was the first time i felt like i was getting recognized and even after i stopped really writing, people still read that book like it was fresh. my writing wasn’t the best and i wrote it in maybe two weeks when i was sixteen, but it was a pivotal point in my life that made me love wattpad. from sixteen to about twenty-three (i turn twenty five next month) did that book stay up — and i came back to find that save me had randomly been removed with no rhyme or reason. wattpad only said it could have been a number of reasons but no specific reasons despite that book having been up for nearly ten years. it broke me, and though i was able to find majority of the chapters, the final ending of the book was gone as i hadn’t saved it anywhere. it made me realize that wattpad had just became a greedy cooperation and they don’t really care about their writers. books you used to be able to read for free, now you can’t read more than three chapters without having to pay.

once save me was removed, i debated just mass uploading the chapters and rewriting the final ending but was afraid of having my account removed, as well as knowing save me wouldnt have been received as well as it was when i was younger. i wouldnt get the same love anymore like i did when i was sixteen. at some point, i even released a save me rewritten and not many people cared so i deleted it off my account and abandoned the project. nowadays, i write my own projects of my own original characters and designs and haven’t written a fanfiction in maybe… three or so years. i have ideas written in my drafts of many fanfictions since i am no longer just into bts but groups like ateez, stray kids, enhypen etc. and i can branch and write other groups besides bts now that my writing style has changed and my likes have expanded.
i would like to return here but my fear of it not being the same prevents me from doing so. i may post original and fanfiction projects here but i cannot guarantee that i will or if i do, uploads will be very scarce as i am a full time student and worker. i would love to revive my love for wattpad but i know that if i post, i might not get as much love. there may be a chance i fully move accounts as well to start fresh and if i do, you will definitely know. i will not delete my memories of this account but if i am to build a brand new tower to rise up to the to top, then ill need to start anew. since it is a new year, ive been wanting to focus on my hobbies a lot more and coming back to wattpad has been in the back of my mind.
if i do, i hope that you all will support me. ❤️
