Hello fellow Wattpad users!
          	
          	Today, after around 4 years total, of being a part of the Wattpad community. I have decided to remove ALL of my stories— fanfiction & original stories— from the platform. At this point in time, given the circumstances and condition of this application/website, I no longer feel comfortable with having my writing out here. It just… isn’t the same. This platform had it’s pinnacle— what feels like— ages ago and now as it begins to fade out, there are so many problems occurring. From design flaws with the mobile app and people’s horrid attitudes to perfectly fine authors being discriminated against and the blatant plagiarism that continues to happen daily.
          	
          	No, none of my stories have been stolen— at least not to my knowledge— but I find it hard to maintain a schedule of posting when there is fear of someone coming along and taking something that I have made and saying that it is their own. I much rather find some other place to put my stories than to worry about trying to sue a bunch of people. It’s very disappointing that a place that was once a lot of fun to be on has become such a shallow place where the people who use this cruddy application on a daily basis, can’t even receive payment or even acknowledgement for the work that they do. 
          	
          	So I don’t know about all of you but I am genuinely tired of all this mess and all the petty things that grown folks on here do to people— minors— that they do not even know and have never met before, it’s disgusting. 
          	
          	Goodbye, Wattpad! Onto the next chapter of our stories, hope I see some of you along the way.
