Four more days 👀🫣

Social media is freaking out about Wattpad banning smut. Lots of people saying their stories and works are disappearing. Is this true? Do I need to plan to upload on like Ao3 or something?

@Wane11 I saw a few more things after digging. They aren't banning smut just enforcing that writing needs have more than smut for plot. Like one shots aren't okay type of thing.

I have low-key been stalking you and trying to find you everywhere. I thought that something happened. I’m so very happy that you are safe. Your fated mate series is one of my favorite series ever literally when you publish it one day I will buy it. You are awesome. I missed you so very much and I’m so glad you’re back. Also, make sure you get a legal team involved just to be on the safe side with your work. Welcome back. I just so happen to open Wattpad up again under your profile and I saw these messages and I’m just like hallelujah.

@BetaLuna that is so freaking sweet. Thank you. Yeah life has just been happening. I'm so nervous about coming back but also so excited. I have been talking to my bestie about it for the last two years. Writing just hasn't been the same.

          I know it's a risk but I think it's the right move. The dream is still to be published one day but for now, I just want to be back here, sharing with you. I have to trust that those who truly support me won't steal my work. And if someone does? Then... Well... I have a group of feral women who are are going to make heads roll. 
          
          With all of that being said. My current goal is to have The Fated Mate up on September 17th. I will be posting the introduction pages, prolong, and first two chapters. Then I'll post a new chapter once a week. There have been quite a few changes made for those of you who remember the original. New material, new characters, extra character POVs as well as other things. I will not be reposting the original. I'm sorry. I have removed Nic as a character. I know that's going to upset some but this was a decision I didn't make lightly. I was severely depressed and in a very dark space when I was working on his book and every time I tried to revisit him, it just affected me badly. So I am rewriting the series without him. Please respect that choice because it sucked to make. 
          
          I look forward to coming back and hope to mayyyybe enter a few contest in 2027. We'll see how everything goes. I will keep you posted on my return. See y'all soon! 
          
          Love, Iris

Announcement part 1
          
          Hello Wattpad! I have no idea who is still active here. It's been a while and I have been radio silent. So much has happened in the years I've been gone. 
          
          When TFM was plagiarized I was absolutely devastated. And honestly, it damaged something in me. I had hoped by now to be self published on Amazon but that just hasn't happened. After the plagiarizing happened, life kicked me in the butt. Hard. I got sick and found out I have lupus along with some other things. My home life got busy. My boys are growing so fast. AND I had a baby girl this past January. 
          
          None of that is an excuse. It's just the facts of where I have been. I didn't write for a long time. Then I started again and I started several projects. TFM went on the back burner and I was just trying to find my groove again. 
          
          Through all of that, I have found that I am still struggling to write like I did years before. I missed Wattpad. I missed the community. I missed my friends. I missed the feedback and the shared love for my characters. 
          
          So... I have decided to come back.

Hey, I have checked out the link in your bio but I couldn’t find any of your books to read there
          I was in love with the books, especially Knox and his humor when I read the books years ago, are you publishing anywhere else like patron or even better published the books? I am really looking forward to reading them again!!!
