A note: I've gotten a few suggestions lately about starting to make character specific books instead of fandom specific books here, as most of my readers are here for only a few characters and will skip the rest, and me showing up in notifs with "wrong" characters is annoying + readers overall would prefer reading books that only have fics for characters they like.
          	
          	Yes, I agree on how it would be more convenient for readers. But for me, it would be a nightmare, even more than now. If you take a look at my profile, I have 45 books, which means there's 45 fandoms I've written for so far. Each book has fics for different characters, at the moment I have written stuff for 219 characters, which would make 219 books.
          	
          	I know that for readers, that wouldn't be a problem. But updating those books would be such a chore, I already have to wade through the Wattpad book edit page thing ("my stories") whenever I publish a new fic for a fandom that's not among my most popular ones, and the page is really buggy. The books take a while to load because there's so many and I have to manually click on "show more" after each load. It also often jams and I have to start it again. So obviously with 219 books, it would take even more time, would be more frustrating = I would stop updating again.
          	
          	So, I hope you understand why it's impossible to do at the moment at least. Again, if you wish to only get notified when I publish a new fic for your favourite characters/want to browse through fics where only your favourite characters are the main focus, my AO3/Archive of Our Own is the only place to go. (Also a reminder that the website is completely free and has 0 ads)

Hiii! So im a big fan of your work and was wondering if you were going to do a Pin Hawthorne x reader/and or oc (from free rein)???? I think it would be great since you're just such an amazing writer. And even if you dont post a story like that, i just want you to know that you have such a great way with words and portraying emotions into your oneshots and stories.
          
          Have a nice day/night!!!!!!!!

@hotchocolategirlie No, Wattpad was first meant for OG fiction only, for people who wanted to publish their stories non-commercially. That's why they half-force you to make multichapter stories and make posting oneshots so hard, this site is meant for multichapter OG fiction. But people started to upload FF so they added the category. And later started to monetise their books and also created the paid book program, where they only take OG fiction though.
            
            Ooohh congrats, that's awesome!! <3

@swanimagines yea, I think it’s nice it’s more for the writers than for the the ppl owning the company.
            
            Ewwww that would suck sm. Isint Wattpad like MEANT to be a FF base or smthg?? Like…
            
            Yes, I feel like between work and your personal life, I personally would feel like Wattpad would be less in less in my life lol. Like you would publish less and stuff. 
            
            Talking about publishing, I just won a small writing competition at my local library and it’s going to be published into a real paper book with all the other short stories!!

@hotchocolategirlie It's okay, I've been out too for a bit!
            
            Yep! And it being run by volunteers ensures they do it out of love and not for money = the features that are and will be added are truly awesome for writers and readers. Only things I think are missing are scheduling and series stats.
            
            Yeah! Serieses is an amazing feature :)
            
            Yeah, at least I think that's the reason why they don't do it... but it may end up in them being forced to ban FF.
            
            Haha well that's going to take time, I'm a slowwww writer nowadays and I seem to come across more and more bumps all the time in my personal life which also slows me down.

Ok. I talked about Wattpad/crossposting in general with my friends and one of them told me some horror stories about Wattpad thieves (things she went through with them) and she got me persuaded to continue posting my stuff here to prevent such things from happening.
          
          Also, a reminder that I do not take requests in Wattpad, only my Tumblr. My Tumblr is only for request-taking, AO3 is my primary posting place and now Wattpad is my secondary posting place. I get dozens of notifs and comments every single day across my books, so any request comments easily get lost here, so please don't. Taking one request here opens the doors for everyone else and soon I'll have angry people in my inbox asking after their requests/why haven't I replied to their requests. If you don't have a Tumblr account and are unable to create one, then you can't request, I'm sorry.
          
          + Another thing if you go to my Tumblr to request, I have 360+ requests waiting right now, so don't expect your request coming out anytime soon.
          
          + A small note: I know my fandom oneshot collection books are annoying, and character oneshot collections would be better (in Wattpad). I would do it otherwise now if I were to be transferred back to 2018, but now it's too late because it would be an ENOURMOUS work to rip them all apart because I have written for literally hundreds of characters, and on top of that, I would have to create covers for all of my books.
          
          If you wish to read my fics for only a few of my characters or even just one, I need to redirect you to my Archive of Our Own (I'm swanimagines there too). All the characters have their own "folders" over there, and if you're a registered user or get an account, you're able to subscribe to the individual characters through those. The "folders" are called serieses and there's a tab for them at my works page in AO3. If someone needs further help, feel free to DM me and I'll show you screenshots.

Everything has been posted to my AO3 now :)
          
          My username is princesswan (with only two s's) there in case you wanna follow my writing in the future too!
          
          And in case you don't know what's going on, I decided to take everything down from here since I encountered so much disrespect, guilt tripping, threats, not understanding what a "no" means and just overall childish behavior every single week. I pondered it for months and asked advice from some friends and ultimately decided to take everything down here. So if you still want to follow me, I'm operating in AO3 now. You are able to read without an account there.

@swanimagines oh no, I'm so sorry that happened to you. I'm happy that you made the decision for what works best for you. I hope that you don't run into this issue again. I love your writing so much, it's beautiful and amazing ❤️❤️❤️

I've taken all my books down because I'm gonna move completely over to AO3. Disrespect, children swarming in my books and terrible Wattpad staff/support made me do this decision. Example: one of the last nails was when I had this conversation in one of my books:
          
          Them: "Hi... can you write [character] x fem reader? (the emoji with glossy eyes)"
          
          Me: "Hey, sorry but I take my requests only on Tumblr. And worth to mention that I have over 300 requests in line, so your request would likely take a lot of time."
          
          Them: "Oh... *sad tone* (crying emojis) I guess I have to unfollow you then... I just wanted you to write a [character] piece bc he's my bby (crying emojis) But now when you won't, I'll have to unfollow you and will cry forever... it was my bday and now you ruined it... (crying emojis)"
          
          So yeah, hopefully you understand. 
          
          It will take a few months until I've got everything set up in AO3, but I'll try to remember to make another announcement post when I finish doing it. Right now, there's nothing to see so don't bother finding it.

So I know you’v said in your Shadow And Bone x Reader book that you only take requests on your tumbler but I don’t have tumbler and I’m obsessed with a certain cane welding character and it’s hard to find any books with him so is there anyway you could make an exception?

Obicat3

Awesome thanks!

Just a heads up that there might be a notification spam coming up sometime soon... I have over 20 new books coming for these fandoms (some will have just one or two pieces though as I haven't written any more for them): 
          
          Once Upon a Time
          Star Wars
          Jumanji (1995-2019)
          Miss Peregrine's Home For Peculiar Children
          Enola Holmes
          The Maze Runner
          Titanic
          Batman: The Dark Knight Trilogy (NOT the one with Robert Pattinson!! The ones that came out between 2005-2012, with Christian Bale as Batman, Cillian Murphy as Scarecrow, Heath Ledger as The Joker, Michael Caine as Alfred, Morgan Freeman as Lucius Fox and Tom Hardy as Bane, I likely won't have the chance to watch The Batman in a long while, sorry )
          Little Women (2019)
          Titans (Netflix)
          H2O: Just Add Water
          Lucifer
          Stranger Things
          The Witcher
          The Umbrella Academy
          The Queen's Gambit
          Teen Wolf
          Xena: warrior Princess
          
          Also some books that will stay empty for now since I only have stuff coming up for them, but not published:
          
          Peaky Blinders
          Hunger Games
          Bones
          
          And of course for my Freddy fans:
          
          Jason Ripper x reader book
          Tom (15 Days) x reader book
          Freddy's characters preference book (Kaz, Pin, Jason, Tom and Ellis)

@RIPNevillesTrevor I can give it a try when I can, but I have 7 shows on my plate rn and I don't want to take more on it rn. I'm also really bad at watching shows and shows very rarely hook me unless I start crushing on a character in it (which happens even more rarely) so not promising anything. But I'll check it out when I get motivation for that. But even if I do like it, I'd get the first x readers for it out next year at the very earliest, and that's assuming I get requests for it at all as very few of my pieces are my own ideas and they're all for a characters I'm crazy about. And I didn't find any x readers for it from others either so it's likely the fandom would just sit as empty in my blog.

@swanimagines What about Siren 2018? It's a really good Polyamous show I've been getting into

@RIPNevillesTrevor I just realised you can't see my reply because this thread wasn't started by you :D But yeah all of those books I listed have been published to my profile, Titanic and H2O don't have much content though since they're both super unpopular fandoms in terms of getting requests.

HEY JEN! IT'S ME ECHO!
          HOW ARE YOU FEELING??

swanimagines

@ilovemarvelanne1 Haha yeah, I hope to start posting new content again soon *star-eyed emoji* I have some pretty neat stuff coming!! I finished that Kaz piece with "Let go." "I can't." btw, you commented on that sneak peek that I can't break your heart XD (Spoiler though because I've seen you hunting for Kaz angst so much and I don't want you to think stuff wrong, I avoid writing and reading full angst to the last straw because of last summer so... it's not full angst, it would be better with full angst but I don't want to trigger anything since I've just dealt with death)

Aaaand emojis don't work, there's a reason why Wattpad isn't my main platform. There was supposed to be three emojis, it looks weird without them and I sound rude without them.
