I'm starting to hate this site so much more everyday I hear of a new strict guideline wondering why it's come to this. Wishing it could go back to the small Wattpad days back like five years ago or more. It was so simple and nice back then. Now it's if there's a lick of violence or something in your stories and they're not marked mature, they'll get taken down basically and making things far more complicated than it should be.
I haven't even had a chance to glance at the guidelines yet and they've been in affect for what, a month and a half at least now?? I don't know. But I don't want to lose my fanfic I worked pretty darn hard on bc I don't have a backup copy done yet bc I'm in school for a psych degree right now. But if I mark my stories mature, the less an audience is going to even FIND them on search and regardless if my two tmnt fanfics had a ranking or not, they're included in the mix because it's tmnt and just searching it puts all and any tmnt fanfic out there in the search that's available to readers here.
I'm not gonna rant a lot about this bc I could go all night and day and still go without sleep and still fight the idea about this being harder and stricter is not the best way to start more on here because it can easily backfire without reason to back up why and I have a feeling it has on some already and I just personally haven't heard of it because I'm barely on here to begin with. I will be checking those guidelines very soon however and working on getting copies down on my computer of those fanfics and anything else published here like my first story I made and am revising and still posting chapters for when I see some more reads in a while. I have this week off for work so hopefully this can get done in between my studies so I have one less thing I have to worry and stress over besides catching up on essays while I'm weeks behind in one class which has never happened before.
