Tiktok is getting banned tomorrow, so I'd like to come out and say this.
Tiktok & all other Bytedance apps being removed from the U.S. will not stop me from bringing you entertainment. You can find all of my old edits (for Castles Crumbling on @wildcstdrcams, at least) on my Instagram. I'll be posting on Instagram & Youtube until Tiktok (maybe) gets unbanned. As for the old posts from Bri & I's old account, I'm going to work toward posting all of those old edits on here or on Instagram as well.
Some final words:
Tiktok has been a huge part of my life since I was 8 years old. I started out as a girl posting cringey videos on her mom's phone & eventually was introduced to editing by my best friend Lexi. Without her, Castles Crumbling probably wouldn't have been a consideration because I only started writing it because I made an edit of Makayla Malfoy and Louis Lupin as a tribute to my 2nd Harry Potter DR. Now, I'm almost finished with Castles Crumbling at Season 7 and the reads are currently sitting at 2k. This wouldn't have happened without Tiktok.
Without Tiktok, I would have never met Amber, Bri, Jordyn, and everyone else who pushed me to keep writing this book. I would have never been able to text Bri, asking, "Should I make a fanfic about Makayla & Louis named after Taylor's new song?" This app has brought me so many new friends and people who willingly read my story, so losing it is honestly such a sad thing to have to go through, but this is not the end.
I will still post on other platforms, all of which will be in my linktree in my bio. I will continue writing even if no one continues to read it. I will not let Tiktok being banned mean that the Castles Crumbling era is over. As long as there is another platform, I will always be here.
Thank you to everyone who has supported me in this journey and everyone who followed me at the very beginning when Bri & I were just a joint account. We love you so much. Keep shining.
With love,
Makayla
