I am sorry if this is annoying unnecessary message,and I hope you are able to block me,but I really have to say this to avoid being rude
          
          I apologize for not replying to you on discord,I cannot verify my Account as I have no phone numbers,and thus can't send any message
          
          Again apologies if this adds unnecessary mess to your message wall,I just feel the need to clarify, because I don't want to be disrespectful

AyieBroAnecdoter

@AyieBroAnecdoter the discord problem for me is now entirely sorted thanks you using someone else's phone number, but thank you

@AyieBroAnecdoter Hi~~! No need to apologize! Why would I block you? XD I only block scammers nowadays, don't worry. Yeah some people have trouble joining my Discord, too. I had to tighten the security because a while back I got some bot and scammer accounts joining. If you have any issues, just let me know and I'll temporarily lower the security or something.

Good day!
          
          I apologize if this is bothering you
          
          And don't worry I am aware that self promotion is rude and annoying,and I wont do that here
          
          I just wanted to thank you
          
          You see a few years ago (I think around 3-5) I leave a comment asking you about a concept of a story between "someone who sacrifice many strangers to saved his loved ones vs someone who choose to save the lives of strangers even if it meant not seeing his family anymore"
          
          And you, a successful Wattpad writer,who probably already mastered execution over just ideas replied to that comment
          
          Now admittedly,the new Wattpad nowadays feels different to how it was 8 years ago
          
          2017 Wattpad with news feed feels like an open bustling malls where everyone can see what is going on around them through the news feed 
          
          But nowadays with removal of that feature,Wattpad felt like isolated rooms,where instead of open area where everyone can meet and interact people have to manually visit each seperate room and unless a writer already have their own seperate communities they are lonely
          
          So you,someone with decent (heck I would certainly say amazing) writing momentum following and work ethic, replying to me,just a guy talking about random story ideas, give me that same feeling that I got back then, even if just a little
          
          I want to thank you,for giving me what I want
          
          Not promotion,but connection

jeidafei

@AyieBroAnecdoter Aw, you praise me too much! I just got lucky with the rankings mostly. I'm still an amateur and still learning just like you. I like thought exercises (I remember your post, yeah) like that and you can feel free to ask me anything about writing in general. I can only give my opinion but I'm happy if it helps. 
            Yeah, getting rid of forums and then DMs entirely is the most WHAT THE HECK WATTPAD decisions ever. I don't see ANY writing platforms doing this. It destroys the community completely and shuts everyone off from each other, in times when people need communication and connection more than ever.

Happy Boxing Day! Confession: When I was younger I thought it's a day in which people box (punch) each other XD. 
          
          What did you get for gifts, if you celebrate Christmas? I don't get to, no matter how much I wanted to, because as an Asian we don't own the culture and we feel we are lowkey side-eyed by fellow Asians if we do XD. 
          
          But my brother did come back from his business trip in the US with all my favorites wrapped in a Trader Joe's tote: tortellini, Kellogg's rice crispy bar, mac&cheese, and avocaco oil bbq chips after he couldn't find Hardbite's Honey Dijon chips (nor Salted egg chips in Vietnam). I love how he manages  to foil all of God's plans and ruined my diet! Thank yooooou!
          
          Anyways, I have a gift of my own for you. Chapter 5 of Luminous is here in full! And because it's Christmas, our theme is family fluff and reconciliation!

Don't give your email or accept DM invitations to anyone's Discord, IG, TikTok or anywhere! 
          
          These people claiming to be digital artists praising your story are most likely scammers! They haven't read a word of your story and likely have fed the text into AI to generate comments. 
          
          Reputable artists would post their art online and gather in artist or freelance communities so we can go find them. They won't come lie to you and try to drag you into their private DMs where evidence can be erased, and they can steal from real artists or AI generate any "samples" of their past work. 
          
          NOTHING IS FREE IN THIS WORLD. If it's too good to be true, IT IS. Go to find artists on DeviantArt, Twitter, Tumblr, Fiverr, Bluesky even heck!
