BIG ANNOUNCEMENT, PLEASE READ, I'M LEAVING WATTPAD AND MOVING MY BOOKS TO Ao3 A film company has recently partnered with Wattpad to use "the website to mine for stories to adapt into original series for streaming services like Paramount Plus" (https://twitter.com/PopCrave/status/1468739954083868674?t=hYT5iInUGHNMRpVSbkJHrw&s=09). The community seem to agree that this means the film companies will use storylines without needing to credit the author, and the wattpad terms of service allow this. While the wattpad TOS states "You own all the rights to the content you create and post on the Wattpad Service", it /also/ states "Legally this means you give us a nonexclusive license to publish your content on the Wattpad Services, including anything reasonably related to publishing it (like storing, displaying, reformatting, and distributing it)." I've talked to some adults I trust and they agree that this means Wattpad can take our stories completely without credit. I find this attitude from Wattpad disgraceful and have generally been wholly upset with the direction Wattpad has been taking the past few years and so I have decided to finally leave it behind for good. BUT DO NOT PANIC!! I will be moving ALL of my books (yes, ALL of them, minus the Quick Stories probably) to AO3 in a move that will take me quite a few days to complete but all of them will still exist for your reading pleasure. If you haven't found me on AO3, I go by the same name of "stormcause". You can read all my books without an account and can still leave comments and votes (kudos) without an account. This is an action that I was hoping I'd never need to make, not in the least because this will be such a large task and will also remove /so many/ comments and relationships and memories I've made in the comment sections, but Wattpad's approach has meant that I have no choice. (continued in comments below I only have 2000 character limit)
