For some reason, Wattpad continues to promote Blood War despite it being removed. It's probably an algorithm thing. In any case, I have now removed tags from the story. Hopefully that will help keep it from being advertised so much.

Hey guys. I’m looking for a specific book I remember the plot but can’t for the life of me find it again. If you recognize the description please tell me the name and author of the book. I’m bummed I can’t find it. I want to put it in my favorites.A young girl and the young pups of her pack end up in a safe room when their pack is attack she is then told to take the young ones to another pack but she doesn’t know where it is they escape in the wood but only after all of their parents and the young girls mate is killed. They end up in a different pack where the girl claims the baby is hers even though she’s not and they’re put in the dungeons only to be found by the alpha there later. The alpha has 2 teen daughters and a mom but his mate died years ago. The girl turns out to be his second chance mate and he takes her in. From there they work out that she is actually a rare red wolf. But the his mom doesn’t approve and tries to get rid of the you girl. Trying to put her grand daughter the alphas daughter in place as the next Luna instead. Thats all I remember. I do know there were some r rated chapters but I can’t find it no matter how I search. Please if this description is familiar get back to me with the title and author or where I can find it now. Thanks so much and love you all!!

I scrolled through the comments available but I didn’t see any explanations why the storys are removed. But anyway it’s sad

@hstylesgurl from what I can see the author's responses were not rude. she simply stated her piece and the commenters kept saying the same thing over and over. any normal human being would be frustrated by that. also, she said the reason the book is still here is because she uses her time on wattlad in her job applications so she leaves the accounts and books as evidence. if you still don't understand, it is genuinely your fault

@Luise8304 Yeah same! It seemed interesting and I'd love to read it. All I've seen are kinda rude responses from the author when people ask. Not sure why the books are even still on here if no one can read them anywhere...bummer

Hey, 
          I came across your book and read the reason why you decided to discontinue on writing with Wattpad. I never read one of your books before— but I think it is courageous that you know what you want and you’re going to grab it in life. That’s real ambition there. I hope that you are able to get in a writer/editor. I would definitely recommend doing an internship at an editor company.

It’s nice to see some kind words - lately, my interactions on Wattpad have been with rude/entitled comments about the removal of my books. A little encouragement is just what I needed. So thanks, from the bottom of my heart. <3
            
            If you want to read something I wrote, my short story Ghosted is still available here on Wattpad. Let me know what you think!

Hello! I’m new in Wattpad and just started publishing my paranormal romance story…
          *Do you have any suggestions or advice in how to promote my work and improve the chances for more readers to find it? 
          
          Thank you for your time and support.

@katycage this is so true i feel like it resonates so true to a lot of new writers. My first book on here is at 23.4k reads and when I began i interacted with others esp my followers and it worked! I first published this book in 2020 maybe 2019 and honestly its my most read book! I obviously am very critical of the book now but I'm so proud of it asw. I am so greatful to my first followers and readers of my books when I started

Oh, one more thing: write a good story. Lol. I know it seems obvious. But in the long run, quality storytelling is key. Any audience you build will not stick around very long unless they really enjoy your work. So make sure you dedicate time to improving your craft, getting critiques from more experienced writers, etc. I recommend checking out YouTube videos as well - there’s tons of writing advice to be found there. Not all of it is good, but the more you expose yourself to and implement in your own writing, the better you will get at identifying the good advice from the bad.
            
            Like I said, time. This is a marathon. It took me 1-2 years to get on a Wattpad featured list. Another 2 years to become a Wattpad Star & Paid Stories writer. You have to commit and be ready not to see any results in the immediate future. But also don’t get discouraged. One day you will look back on where you used to be and realize how far you’ve come, and that is a very satisfying feeling.

Interaction with other writers and their stories is the best way to build an audience. Join writing groups, book review exchanges, establish friendships with Wattpad writers on other social media, etc. These connections will naturally result in spreading your story out there. But it takes time/dedication, and you have to be willing to help out other writers if you want them to help you. Add stories to your reading lists, read stories that are similar to yours and comment/vote on them, follow people, and have a genuine interest in their work (people can smell fake interest from a mile away). Aside from all that, publishing new chapters on a regular schedule is super important. Weekly is best, but as long as you’re consistent, over time you will see the benefits take effect. And whatever you do, DO NOT advertise yourself/your story on another author’s profile or in the comment section of their book. That is the number one rule of etiquette on Wattpad. It comes off as wanting to leech off another writer’s success and can quickly earn you disfavor in their eyes and the eyes of their fans/readers. So not only is it rude, it’s ultimately counterproductive to your goal.
