Hi folks, it's been a long long time. And so much has changed! I'm a proper adult now with a job, y'all. It's wild. And hard. And though I don't open this app much these days and though I dislike what has become of wattpad, I often think back to the countless hours I spent here and my heart swells with tenderness.
          	
          	I miss writing and reading silly little love stories. I miss all my friends/readers over here. And truly, nowhere else have I ever felt as comfortable as a writer as I have on wattpad, and yes, with adulting and under the weight of the real world in these terrible terrible times, my writing has mostly stopped. Most days I don't even feel like a writer anymore. But I want to change that. And I think I've found a new place to try to do so.
          	
          	So if you still want to stay in touch, read stuff I write, you can now find me on substack: https://substack.com/@glasseyed29
          	
          	I have two publications, one on poetry, personal essays and so on, and the other on economics (but not hardcore econ cause i'm too emo to do proper academia) cause your girl is an econ researcher now, lol. But do drop by, and now that I'm writing this message, perhaps one of my first posts over there will be about this site, its people and how it shaped my childhood. I don't know who I'd have been without this platform and the wonderful folks I met here. Oof imma go cry now.

I also wonder what has happened to wattpad or how it is changing now with AI. AI slop must be here too, right? It also makes me worried about leaving my stuff out here for AI to steal. Really sad times for readers and writers. *sigh*

Slightly SOS folks. I need book recommendations (preferably published books but free wattpad books will also work) with queer vampires or rockstars or dragon shifters!!!!

unstablebibliophile

@glassEyed Code Red by NR walker (published n it's about a performer n his manager) 
            
            Hugger Mugger (free comic on tapas) 
            
            And not a book but it's sooo great Interview with the vampire (the AMC show)

@glassEyed Not sure about published books, but for queer vampire you could try Lord of the Night (Wattpad original, weekly free updates), I am reading rn, and personally loving it. Another could be Dear Citali (this is free, though I haven't started it, it is in my tbr). Other than these, i will think and let you know.

I know this isn't what most of you read, but I'm opening a Medium account where I'll post short stories, personal essays and maybe even my poems. Basically I want to explore my writing and that's where I will be doing it. If any of you are interested, you can check it out : https://medium.com/@_glasseyed
          
          I haven't posted much yet but if you press the smol email button, you'll get email notifications whenever I post (you don't need to make your account there). 
          
          As always, thanks for all your love and support. Hopefully I'll be back here with my silly little novels soon.

@glassEyed does this mean you won't be writing or finishing your books on wattpad?
