Hey my Lovlies, 
          	
          	With a heavy heart and some serious thinking, I’ve decided to private the Dark Series. This includes Dark Secrets, Dark Love, Dark Ends, Dark Moments, and Dark Future. 
          	Due to the contents of Dark Secrets, I am assuming Wattpad will eventually take it down anyways, and I want to be able to keep something that means so much to me. 
          	I started writing Dark Secrets when I was fourteen years old, at the peak of DracoTok, and though I don’t necessarily agree with a lot of the characterizations of the characters in my work, it means the world to me. 
          	It was the fic that made me fall in love with writing, and I’m so grateful to everyone who has read it and continues to read it now. From fourteen to twenty, some of you have been here the whole way, and I am forever grateful. 
          	It disappoints me greatly that fics I’m so proud of won’t be up here anymore, but I couldn’t be more appreciative of the time I’ve spent on this app. 
          	As for catching me on other places, I am on AO3 and have been for a while. I go by the same user as I do here: lylamalfoyy. I post ship content rather than xreader, but I still hope to see you there. 
          	I also have an Instagram if you’d like to get in touch: lylamalfoyyy.
          	That all being said, I’ve decided to keep Champions up and take down Dragon’s Rose as well. 
          	If I find any alternative website I can publish them on or Wattpad fixes its terms of service, I'll re-upload them. 
          	I hope you guys can understand my decision. 
          	I love you all, thank you for making my Wattpad experience so magical. 
          	
          	Lyla <3

Hi I wrote Eyes Of Grey when I was like 14-15 and I want to save it private for myself before it gets taken down does anyone know how to do that?

Hey lovely!!
            Basically, what you want to do is click on your story as if you’re adding another chapter (like in the editing section), but instead of doing that, there’s going to be three dots on the top right. Click those and you should see an option that says “Unpublish.” Click that and you should be golden!! Mwah!!

Hey Lovlies, 
          
          I was just made aware that Wattpad banned smut. This is news to me and I don’t know what I should do with my fics from here on out. 
          
          I don’t want to lose them, but I do fear smut is what most of my fics are all about. If you guys have any ideas, I’d be more than open to hear them. 
          
          Thank you!! Love and miss you all xx

@lylamalfoyy i think it was a misconception and wattpad themselves said that they weren't banning smut or books with smut in them

@lylamalfoyy from what I read and understand I think it's only for books that are solely created for smut content and not for stories that have smut in them I could be wrong but I think it might only apply to books where it's only smut or if the characters are under the age of 18

Hey my loves, 
          I haven't posted on here in quite a while, but I think it's important for me to as a writer here on Wattpad and AO3. 
          The use of generative AI in fandom culture has been wild lately. Fanfiction is fun. It should be written for the love of the game, for community, for passion. 
          Instead, AI is being used to pump out half-baked stories. 
          I don't know if any of you are in the Byler fandom, but I am, and I've been reading this fanfiction called Super Soaker for the past 6 months. This morning I found out the whole thing was written by AI. 
          It's terrifying as someone who dreams of becoming a writer that AI is becoming harder to catch and easier to miss. It's terrible for the environment and it just shows a complete lack of creativity that as human beings, we need. 
          I'm incredibly disappointed to say the least. 
          I've been spending all day upset because some of my favourite works have been written, not by a person, but by a robot. 
          I honestly just wanted to put my thoughts out here because I think that with the platform I have, I should speak up. 
          If you are writing a fanfiction, PLEASE do not use generative AI. I want to see your mistakes, your humanity in your writing. The only way we can fix this issue is if we stick together. 
          I'd much rather read a fic with unpolished writing than a fic written by a robot.
          Do not be like these other writers, like wheezingwheeler (author of Super Soaker). Be creative. If it takes you a long time to write, that's okay. Find a beta writer to help you along if you need help. 
          That being said, please don't send hate to wheezingwheeler, they're getting much hate on Twitter anyways.
          Thank you, my loves. 
          I'll write something for you soon... without AI slop!!!!!!!
          Love you all xx

Happy five years to Dark Secrets. 
          Honestly, I could talk for hours and hours about this fic and how much it has meant to me and how much it’s changed my life.
          But instead I’ll just thank you. 
          Thank you so much. 
          I wouldn’t be here without you guys and I appreciate you all every day. Every comment, every vote, every read. I appreciate you all. 
          You have changed my life in a way that I will never be able to reciprocate. 
          And since it’s our five year anniversary, I’ve decided to give you all a little something. 
          I wrote a few one shots about Y/N and Draco over the years and I want to give it to you. 
          
          Dark Moments - Newest member of the Dark Series family. Enjoy it my loves. I love you. Thank you eternally.

Heyyyy.. heyy… 
          So please don’t hate me guys. I know I said I’d work on my other fics, but I couldn’t help myself and wrote an eighth year Drarry one-shot with over 7K words…
          You obviously don’t have to read it if you’re not a fan of Drarry, I know most of you come here for my OCs and xReaders, but I had a lot of fun with this one and I’m really excited about it!! 
          This is also me coming out as a Drarry stan! 
          I love you guys! More Dragon’s Rose out soon!

Lovelex1_lopez
