I am feeling incredibly disappointed and upset with Wattpad. There have been so many bot comments on my most recent posted chapter, and it's to the point that I'm considering deleting Wattpad altogether. One of my posted stories, specifically Silver Lining // Zukka, is already on Archive of Our Own, and at this point I don't see a space for it, or any other story I may post in the future for that matter, here on Wattpad. I've been on this platform since 2013 and it used to be a great place for fandoms, but now it's so full of ads and bots to the point that it's unusable.
          
          If anyone reads this, or would like to follow me on AO3, my username is elementily, just like it is here. Thanks to those of you that have continued to support me over the years. <3

is anyone else struggling to access their drafts since the recent update?

thx for 8k reads on lovely!!!

This might sound silly to some, but I've been missing One Direction a lot lately. The 15th anniversary of the band forming has come and gone, and with Liam's passing last year it hurts just a little more.
          
          One Direction was a huge part of my life growing up. I first found out about them around 7th grade, right after their debut album Up All Night came out, and I was immediately hooked. I listened to them to help me get through the death of my grandpa in 2012. I listened to them to cope with my parents fighting. I listened to them to cope with the bullying I faced in school, (a lot of which was because I was so obsessed with 1D).
          
          And I listened to them when Liam died. I watched all their videos again, and I mourned. I mourned Liam, but most of all I mourned that time of my life that I'll never get back. There's a lot of things I would do differently, and there's a lot of things that would remain the same. Hopefully One Direction is a constant in every version of my life, in every timeline, because it really was a Once in a Lifetime experience.
          
          I miss One Direction, but I don't miss that life. I would do anything to go back, but I want to push forward and see what's next. Time is weird like that.
          
          Sorry for being a complete sap. Obviously my content on here is no longer based around One Direction, and I have been facing quite the writer's block (what else is new). But I will be back eventually with more Avatar: the Last Airbender content and maybe some Marvel stuff coming up.
          
          If you've gotten this far, thanks for reading.
          
          With love,
          Emily

Hey y'all,
          
          Wanted to let you know I went ahead and unpublished the majority of my old fanfictions. I'm really not proud of them, and I feel like they don't represent me as a writer very well anymore.
          
          I'm keeping kik and together again up because of the popularity, but the others have been unpublished indefinitely.
          
          Thank you all for the support over the years. It's been appreciated. I just would rather continue to move forward in a different direction from this point on.

          updates for silver lining will be delayed.
          
          having a hard time coming to terms with liam payne's passing. one direction's music got me through a lot of dark times growing up, and this really feels like losing a friend.
          
          i'm here for anyone who might need to talk.
