Heyy besties, it's your older brother here long time no see hope everyone is doing well
I just stumbled across something interesting that Paramount and Wattpad are teaming up to find new movie ideas and just speaking as an older brother here to all my lovely writers, please be very weary
In the latest wattpad update, the tos have changed that wattpad now owns the rights to stories as opposed to the writers like it was back in my day, which honestly pisses me off so much (I have not agreed or read the new TOS, so I'm basing it off of talking with current wattpad users, it sounds like they can't sell your story without permission so if approached, please be cautious and if you agree GET THAT PAYCHECK!!!)
Everything has turned to profit recently and honestly be suspicious, I highly doubt paramount will properly credit the writer or even work with them and compensate as well as they should, especially now that wattpad has forced people to agree that they no longer have their own story rights
I just saw the news and it was posted 17h ago, so still fresh. We'll see how this thing goes, but I just wanted to warn people in case. Be protective of your writing and material!! Don't settle for bare minimum compensation and don't let corporations string you along, be strong arm emoji
