one of my stories was deleted by wattpad yesterday for no apparent reason (I thought they were only targeting mature content?) and there's no way for me to get it back despite having quite a lot of stuff in the drafts...

@moraeful This is something that happened to a whole bunch of people. Wattpad is trying to use AI to moderate content, but the bot wasn't properly tested and instead of flagging stories for human review, it has deleted some stories. And of course, it didn't only flag stories that broke the guidelines, but likely any stories with certain words.

@Hortbeck there was no mature content (besides them kissing awkwardly once) & they were both well over 16... but oh well I guess wattpad doesn't want people writing on their platform for free anymore

@moraeful I heard they were targeting books with characters under 16 with mature content.

My dear sweet moraeful, please please write another chapter, I’m kicking my feet in suspense

@VodkaAndHoes the next update is pretty much a double update since just posting one would leave it on a cliffhanger so I'll finish them both and post one after the other, but trust me, I'm working on it! I'm so happy you're enjoying it, though <3
