@mikaelson_tragedy
Hi love,
Hope you are well?
It is strange here now without PM.
I am hopeless at discord, so I came here instead.
Winter here in Australia so I figure your in summer there and busy.
Just wanted to check in. xxx
HOW ARE YOU?!!
Ok, the PMs are officially gone... so you add me on Discord if you wanna keep talking privately, beto.s #8295 Or just message me in this board Or you can use my email dolipbeto@gmail.com
ps: i changed my user from marvelous_tragedy to mikaelson_tragedy
just cause lol also i figured this acc needed mikaelson in the name, cuz that's just my whole Thing here
Yes Mikaelson tragedy suits you better
No one writes their inner turmoil as well as you
❤️❤️❤️
Do you ever have a conversation online that makes you wanna give up on a 4 year-long obsession, 'cause the person was such a jerk?
I'm like this close to giving up on all my fics, maybe just writing short, rushed endings to some of them and abandoning the rest...
@ naturelover1997 THANK YOU SO MUCH MY DEAREST FRIEND!!! I truly needed this. Your support as always keeps me going. I can't thank you enough. I adore you ♥️
@marvelous_tragedy I know exactly what you are feeling. Fuck them! my new policy is block them straight away. I felt like you, just walking away and never coming back. But fuck them. This is your space. This is where you come in your free time to express yourself creatively with love. It helps when real world life is shit. These nasty cunts forget you do this for free. So BLOCK them straight away it is empowering. And know that the majority of your readers love and appreciate the effort and beautiful stories you write for them for FREE. You are a wonderful writer. Your words evoke the scene so perfectly and the emotions so clearly. Your writing and stories are unique. You are wanted here by so many. Let the arseholes crawl back under their miserable rocks and you continue writing in your happy place. FUCK OFF JERKS, NASTY PEOPLE AND ARSEHOLES. POWER TO FREE WRITERS.
Thank you for following me! Feel free to message me anytime, I hope you have a lovely day — your friendly neighborhood writer, Malakhai <3
@ thatweirdokhai hi there! No problem. And sorry for the late reply, just saw your message!
It's nice to see another transmasc person on the tvdu fandom!!
I will also make a discord and reddit to try and build more community. Let me know what you guys think about that
(Still about the PMs thing)
I think the executives are forgetting that a huge element of this platform is that it allows for community building and not just a place to post stories.
I have PMs from 2016, talks with people who were so dear to me but that i have lost contact due to life. And it breaks my heart that I won't even have the reminder, the records of those conversations in my life after next month.
Disable the PMs is one thing, but to just delete all messages? It's like earsing part of the history of this platform...
I guess the same happened with the Newsfeed, like 4 years ago...
At the time, I had just come back to wp after a long absence. I came back in my current phase, obsessing over the Mikaelsons, TVDU and Good Dad Mikael. It was 2020.
This site, the community I built here, the friends i made through comments and PMs... it saved my life. It's so shitty to see it changing for worse instead of improving...
Anyways, what do you guys think?
@ numinousx when you go to your PMs, there's a message up there from wattpad saying the PMs will be gone by may 6 I think
It's what shows up in mine at least, both mobile and site
@marvelous_tragedy I have a question. Where is everyone seeing that we will no longer have private messaging?
@marvelous_tragedy I agree with you on this. I think it is a very bad idea. Writers like to connect to other others and their readers in a private way this site set itself apart from A03 and fanfiction with this more private communication. I also think you are right about that Wattpad is changing and not for the better, which is sad. I still prefer this site over the others but losing private messages is a blow. Time to connect at GMAIL.
I feel like Wattpad has been changing so much as a platform. Not always in a bad way, but like, a few things have made me really unsure if I want to continue here (on the long term):
1) the end of PMs obviously is insane.
2) As of 2023, the Wattys no longer allows for Fanfiction entries.
I have been trying to battle through my depression, family deaths, and other issues, from 2020 to 2024, always with the hopes of finishing one of my favorite fanfics and being able to enter the Wattys.
Idk if I should scream or cry or both.
In the end, I'm still determined to finish all the stories i have posted. But fuck. This place is going to hell.
I am back to updating Finn's mlm story! Hopefully, this time, I’ll update it til it's over
How are you guys doing?
