Thanks so much @wattpad for adding A COWBOY FOR THE CEO to your Poolside Problems reading list! What a great surprise to see it on a front page header :) xoxo

Hi, how are you? I hope you're doing well. I just read your story, and I really liked it. It feels like every word was written from the heart. Honestly, this is the first time in my life that I've read such a beautiful story. By the way, when did you start writing stories?

I’ve recently published my very first brotherhood story on Wattpad! It’s a heartfelt brotherhood story centered around three brothers. If you enjoy stories filled with family, love ,drama, punishments,and deep connections, I’d be so grateful if you could give it a read. It's a request to our dear author and readers:)

Sorry for intruding your conversation board. If this makes you uncomfortable you can delete it. If there's even one person reading this msg and have even the slightest of free time, please give my book a chance. I just want to you to read the first chapter. From thereon if you want to continue or not it's completely your choice. But just one Chapter please. I would be grateful

Hi,
          
          I'm exploring new stories to add to my reading list and I came across yours. I would love to do a read for read and a comment for comment for one of your stories. If you would be willing to do the same for one of mine?

Just want to give a heads up. There is a site called Teenfic that is stealing from Wattpad. They are copying whole profiles.
          It is a mirror site that is copying from Wattpad. There is a petition to take down the site.

          I am not sure if Wattpad will help.
          
          I found your book ( Christmas with Nick Klaas) I was surprised to see it mentioned as a Watty Shortlist 2021. I am looking into this site because numerous Wattpad authors works have be stolen and posted there. I thought you would like to know. I am not doing this to gain anything. I am doing it to help an author that I follow. If you need more information you can contact me at

@Darcmoon76 5 years.... even with the malware, this is so wrong for the authors that put in the work. Why won't Wattpad do anything. To be able to mirror this site on such a scale points to someone having access through a worm or something similar. Wattpad can check and remove stuff like that. 
            I just can't believe there is nothing that I can do to help the author I spoke about. 
            Thank for replying.  I will talk with the one that sent me on the miserable rabbit whole.

@Darcmoon76 It looks like TeenFic has been mirroring Wattpad stories for at least five years. These types of sites are usually hosted in countries that have very loose copyright enforcement (or none at all), so there's very little chance of getting them to comply with DMCA removal requests that are the authors' responsibility (Wattpad only gets involved for stories that it has published by Wattpad Books or has movie deals with). The good news is, that these types of sites including TeenFic almost always also have malware or viruses that they pass along to people who use them, so there is some penalty on the back end for book pirates!

Hey, I’m really sorry if I’m totally off the mark here...  I’m not sure if you’re accepting reading requests right now, but it would be so awesome if you gave my book a chance. ✨
          
          If you like it (or if it makes you feel some type of way), go ahead and hit that like button! And seriously—don’t forget to share your thoughts in the comments. I LIVE for those opinions. They matter more than you know! 
          
          Thanks a ton for your time, and I apologize for dropping by like an unexpected plot twist!
