For those who are reading "Heartless: A Fairy-Tale" (aka "Pickles and Ponies: A Fairy-Tale"), I have just unpublished it to enrol it for 3 months on Amazon KDP Select.  If you want to keep reading, it will be available free via the Kindle (US) store next Wednesday through Saturday.  Thanks for your support!

PS I'm doing this to get reviews and to raise interest in the anthology I edited several years ago, "In Memory: A Tribute to Sir Terry Pratchett".  The anthology is fantastic, inexpensive, and all funds raised go to the charity "Alzheimer's Research UK", which Terry Pratchett supported.  You can find it via my Amazon author page here: https://www.amazon.com/Laura-May/e/B00NSCQFLK

Wow what a wonderful story! I get tied up in imaginary adventures too. Sometimes I feel like I've got too many thoughts and ideas for stories inside my head. Do you have any advice for writers on Wattpad?

thelauramay

@Pepsi275 I've been sitting here scratching my head (literally), and I'm not totally sure what advice I can offer you!  I wrote and published the book around 18 months before later publishing it on Wattpad as well, so I'm not sure whether I count as a Wattpad author as far as providing advice goes :)

You're a brilliant writer and SUCH a creative person! I have finals tomorrow and yet here I am, curled up in a blanket, figuratively devouring your book. (AHEM #fightliteralabuse AHEM, sorry, had a bout of frog-in-throat syndrome there...*wink wink*) Anyhoo, I'm screwed. Wait, that wasn't it... No, what I meant to say was: I AM TRULY AMAZED BY YOUR AMAZING AWESOMENESS and I would definitely buy a book of yours. Please don't ever stop writing and keep delighting us all with your delicious sense of humour! I can't wait to check your anthropology out. I've been on Wattpad for a while now( on various accounts) and your book is one of the most refreshing I've come across. You really have a distinct voice and style, and we all know that's exceptionally rare, especially in a site like Wattpad where everything's about popularity and readership and hardly anyone actually puts in the effort to think about and savour what they're reading. Woo! Now there's a run-on sentence! I've been rambling on for long enough, haven't I? I'd better get to cramming for my exams now... Shoot

@wendoko Thank you so much!  That's so sweet of you to say.  I hope you did well on your exams!!  And do let me know what you think of the anthology :D

Your story was the very first one I read on Wattpad when I joined this year. At the time I did not know ANYTHING about how Wattpad works, so I did not follow you. Now that I know there's such thing as Follow, Vote, and all that, I am now following you! Thank you for writing this wonderful and fantasical story and posting it here on Wattpad! I really enjoyed your story very much! Will you be posting any more stories here? Just asking.

@FictionalNewbie Thank you, that's so sweet of you!!  As to whether I'll be posting more stories on Wattpad, probably not at this time.  You may have seen in the comments below that I do have a story in "In Memory: A Tribute to Sir Terry Pratchett", which is available via www.inmemorytribute.com.  Apart from that, I'm not doing a lot of writing at the moment--too busy with life, I'm afraid!  Plus, I tend to write truly horrible first drafts, and I would NEVER post as I was writing, for that reason.  But at least you got this book for free?  Yay, up-sides!! :)  I'm also on Goodreads, of course :).  Haha though there, I tend to spend half my time writing scathing reviews, rather than updating about my own writing :p

Dear author,
          
          If in the near future you get to have plenty of time, please write another book. Much better if you write lots and lots of books ☺

twelveounces

I'm going to check it :D Thank you!

@twelveounces Haha well tell you what, if people start paying for my books, I'll be able to give up my day job and write all the novels you'd like ;).  In the interim, I *do* have a VERY Raduga-esque story in the anthology In Memory: A Tribute to Sir Terry Pratchett.  You might want to check it out :) - L

Your book is the definition of pure awesomeness. It's hilarious and puntastic and it was really something new and fresh to read. You deserve more reads and followers. 
          
          AND I THINK I'M SLOWLY FALLING IN LOVE WITH YOUR BOOK.

thelauramay

@MindOfMine16 Not gonna lie, that's pretty much the reaction I was hoping for haha.  Now it's not JUST my Nan who tells me I'm hilarious ;D

Hey there, I wanted to ask you to please review/rate my story. Im new to this but since we are in the same genre, I know your feedback would be very helpful!

thelauramay

@MarioZGutierrez I'd love to help, but unfortunately am incredibly time-poor right now. Perhaps in the future, and best of luck in the interim!
