for authors, do you write what you want to read?

A question for authors out there, do you also write what you want to read?

I used to just write, not reading what I write because I think it was cringe. But over the years, as my writing skills improved, I started to love reading what I write. Until what I write are the same books that I want to read. These books were born from ideas that I want to read in books. About artists, dreams, passion, winter, youthful memories, self love and empowerment and so much more.

Ang sarap palang basahin ng mga istoryang ginawa mo. I think that when you start to love what you've written, it's the moment that you'd fall in love with writing more. You become yourselve's favorite writer. You won't just depend on how people will perceive or love your work, kasi alam mo sa sarili mo na mahal mo ang mga sinusulat mo at ikaw mismo, binabasa mo sila. ​​​

🌸 How about you? Which book did you write because you want to read it?

Kaganapan sa BPO Company

Alam niyo ba may isang agent sa isang BPO company na hayok na hayok ma-promote tawagin ko na lang siya sa pangalan na “Gold” (F). Gagawin niya lahat even friends of friends niya babarubalin niya, workmates and all.

Before kasi nung hindi pa siya na ppromote as Senior or whatever you call na ahead sa mga normal processors, sobrang tahimik niya na para bang never mo siyang maaasahan tumulong sa mga ka team niya. Then dumating yung time na yung friends niya na promote as Senior tapos siya hindi grabe yung naging inggit niya that time, umabot sa point na lumayo siya sa friends niya at naghanap ng another circle of friends which is yung kaugali niya ngayon na binabardagol niya din.

Ayun dumating din pala sa point na may nagkagusto sakanya na ka-team niya syempree normal na yun sa isang BPO Company, tawagin natin siya sa pangalang “Diamond” (M). After a few weeks lang nagustuhan niya na din yung guy, syempree gwapo yung guy at angat sa buhay. Nung nalaman niya na angat sa buhay yung guy nag go na agad tong si ate mo gurl, kasi alam niyang aangat din siya sa buhay niya pag naging sila eh.

Umabot ang ilang linggo nagkakamabutihan na sila to the point lagi siya nililibre ni guy ng kung ano ano na gusto niya. Sugar daddy yarn eme. Anyways, eto na nga habang tumatagal lumalabas na yung tunay na ugali ni Gold. Lagi siyang nagpapahatid pauwi ng bahay or pag may pasok siya sa school nagpapahatid siya, not knowing pag hindi siya hinahatid ni Diamond may ibang naghahatid sakanya na guy. Myghaaadd! Typical gold digger.

As I was saying, ganon na nga yung nangyayare pag wala si Diamond or may ibang ganap may ibang naghahatid kay Gold. Hanggang sa nahuhulog na ng tuluyan si Diamond kay Gold ng hindi niya namamalayan na gagamitin lang pala siya for all the things na meron siya.

As time pass by umabot ng birthday, christmas at new year nagbibigay or may binibigay si Diamond kay Gold. Nagkaron ng hindi pagkakaintindihan yung dalawa at umabot sa point na nagkakasiraan na sila, nagmmake ng story si Gold na ginagamit lang daw siya ni Diamond, na hindi naman daw talaga nagpapahatid sa bahay or school sadyang nag iinsist lang daw talaga si Diamond. Wtf! Girl ang bait bait na nga sayo ng tao ganyan pa gagawin mo babaliktarin mo pa yung kwento.

Then eto na nga yung exciting part, lumipas ang ilang buwan at taon na promote na si Gold as Senior. Biglang nag iba yung ugali which is natural na sa mga nappromote or depende pa din siguro HAHAHAHAHAHA. Pero not knowing ang sabi sakanya ng TL niya before kaya di siya napromote “bungisngis ka kasi at walang sariling desisyon”.

Ayun nga after that promotion nagbago ugali naging bossy sa ibang kateam niya pero sa friends niya hindi the typical feeling baddie pero ang baho naman. Ilang months ang nakalipas, up ‘til now mas lumala ugali niya to the point lahat ng pwede niyang iissue sa kateam niya gagawin niya para sa ikakasaya niya. Kahit small details or big gagawan niya ng issue at ipapakalat niya agad sa buong prod.

Even sa mga workloads ng ka-team niya na dapat hindi na siya belong pinapakelaman niya pa din. Then nung na-assign siya to QA the team, kahit sobrang dami ng workloads basta mahanapan niya lang ng mali yung processors gagawin niya ultimo kahit ilang oras siyang maghanap okay lang sakanya. Na parang bang naghahabol sa next promotion para ma-promote bilang ATL, ano para tarantaduhin lahat ng agents na mahahawakan niya pag napromote ulit siya.

Anyways, ayun lang naman yung story ko about that girl na gold digger at hypocrite b*tch hehe. Thank youuu!!

Medyo kinakabahan ako sa influx ng mga new users sa AO3 na galing sa Wattpad

To my fellow AO3 users, I know some of you feel the same way. AO3 is soooo different compared to Wattpad, and I hope you guys can also share things that new users should keep in mind. I’m super worried lang kasi most of these new users are probably minors, and we know what kind of platform AO3 is.

We all heard about Wattpad’s new guidelines, and people are talking about jumping ship to AO3 so that they can publish and read 18+ content without restrictions. Honestly, that’s actually fine since AO3 allows users to publish their original works naman eh.

Pero sana naman hindi tayo magkalat doon 😭😭😭 Every AO3 reader knows the “Don’t like, Don’t read” rule. May stories doon na sobrang explicit and contain themes like incest, pedophilia, rape, gore, and etc. I know it’s fucked up, and they know it’s fucked up. If ayaw mong basahin, then wag mong basahin! Simple as that. Why does AO3 allow these stories? Because they strongly advocate for anti-censorship. Also, learn to use the freaking search filter system!!!

AO3 doesn’t have an ingrained algorithm. If gusto mong sumikat as a writer, then it isn’t the right platform for you. Walang recommendation system ang AO3. Tag your works properly and for the love of God, don’t invade tags para lang mas ma-widen ang reach niyo.

Remember, AO3 was created for fanfiction in the first place and please do respect that. Learn the etiquette and read at your own discretion lalo na kapag minor ka.

Why was Inksteady crucified last year through earlier this year?

I saw her GP, and it was filled with so much hate. It made me wonder, why was Inksteady crucified that much if the goal was really to help her learn and improve?

I heard lots of accusations against her without any proven facts, such as using AI, her being a bully, cryptic posts for specific author. The only exception I can think of is the Kalbo jokes, which were connected to her story at the time, CHBBNW, and were very insensitive.

I truly understand the criticism regarding the poor execution of her book, CHBBNW. Too many plot points, some of which weren't properly justified and seemed to be included mainly for shock value. What I don't understand, is whether she really deserved to be crucified for it. She was heavily bullied over something that, I think, she could have corrected and improved over time.

Sometimes, I feel like "some" readers were reading the book just to find mistakes they could point out. And once someone agreed with them, they would start throwing more hate toward that specific author.

I think some readers "call out" an author not because they genuinely want the author to improve or change, but because their goal isn't really to help the author to grow. Instead, it feels like they're trying to gather people together and create a hate train.

Don't like, don't read.

Bakit nga sa mga wattpad reader hirap na hirap ipractice ito? Anong pinapatunayan nyo? Alam nyong mati-trigger kayo. May nilalaman itong ayaw nyo. Bakit nyo binabasa? Don't justify it with, "they can still read it and decide" because no, stupidity yan. Para kang kumuha ng bato, ipunukpok mo sa ulo mo. Tapos magrereklamo ka kasi nasaktan ka.

The worst thing? Galit na galit ka sa author. Iba-blame mo yung author kasi nagalit ka sa book. Bakit sya naglagay ng ganun? Eh ayaw mo ng ganun. Nagagalit din kayo sa reader na nag-e-enjoy sa ganun. Reader is just a matter of preference. Sabi nga, "Don't yuck someone else's yum". It is just fiction! It is up to the reader kung paano nila ida-digest ang book. Huwag nyong pangunahan ang ibang readers at author. That doesn't make you better.

Sino-sinong wattpad authors ang na-meet nyo na?

Stumbled upon this pic from March 2018. Ate rain/pilosopotasya went to our uni for a talk about creative writing.

I remember na punuan yung slot sa reg form, inabangan ko talaga and made sure na makapag-register. She shared practical tips in writing and we had a q and a also. Afterwards, my photo-op and pwede din magpa-autograph. I told her how AFGITMOLFM was so impactful to me as a teen, sobrang excited ko kaya naka-yakap ako jan sa kanya😂. Buti na lang ok lang sa kanya. This was surely a core memory!

UP Research Criticizing Jonaxx

I saw this UP student's research about Jonaxx's works. I am one of her readers, but upon reading this, it became an eye-opener.

Sexual Abuse

Scorching Love (2016)

Snow refuses his advances by pleading "Get off, Engineer Riego. Please... Go away...", but Sibal outright rejects it.

Waves of Memories (2016)

Tinikom ko ang bibig ko para pigilan siya ngunit imbes na umatras ay lumapat ang labi niya sa akin.

"What the hell are you doing?" tanong ko at tinulak ang kanyang dibdib.

Tila bakal iyon na ayaw paawat. He nipped and sucked my lips making me feel so dizzy.

"Stop it, Ali!" utos ko.

In another instance, Ali once again forces Aia to have a sexual interaction with him. Aia has not yet recovered her memories, so she is uncomfortable in getting intimate with him:

Tinulak ko siya pero halos mawalan ako ng lakas nang maramdaman ang paulit ulit niyang halik. He sucked my lip and he licked it with so much passion.

"Ali!" sigaw ko at tinulak siyang muli.

Hinawakan niya ang kamay ko at nang tinulak niya ako ay bumagsak ako sa kama. I felt his other hand trying to remove the towel habang dahan dahan niya akong hinihiga. I groaned in protest but it's only drowned by his kisses.

Island of Fire (2017)

Rad continues to touch Zari even after she tells him to stop which is a direct violation of bodily autonomy:

"Rad, stop," I half-heartedly commanded. Huling protesta para sa katawang tuluyan nang nadarang ng apoy.

Even a "half-hearted" protest indicates a lack of full, enthusiastic consent. Her initial "stop" should be enough. His disregard for her verbalized boundary is a form of sexual assault.

What Lies Beneath the Sand (2017)

"What are you doing..." I half heartedly struggled.

He inserted his hand on my chest, gaya ng ilang beses niya nang ginawa.

Hinawakan ko agad ang palapulsuhan niya para alisin iyon doon dahil alam ko kung anong mararamdaman niya roon.

"Why is your heart beating so fast then? Hindi ba ayaw mo sa akin?" he said softly.

My peak hardened at his touch. I want to stop him pero walang boses ang lumabas sa aking labi.

Tripped: Lilienne (2016)

Riguel dismisses Lilienne's resistance to his kisses. Lilienne does not want the kisses because she still has a lot to say (Chapter 35).

Lilienne's explicit physical struggle and her internal reasoning clearly indicate her lack of desire for the kiss at that moment. However, Riguel's action of holding her arms to prevent her from moving demonstrates a disregard for her expressed wishes.

Unprotected Ejaculation Without Consent

Island of Fire (2017)

This is how Rad reacts when he has been told that Zari is getting a shot regularly, indicating that he wants to
impregnate her:

"What if you get pregnant?" tanong niya na parang iyon ang sagot sa lahat ng problema ko.

Ngumiwi ako sabay tingin sa kanya. "I won't get pregnant. I get a shot regularly."

He muttered a curse and then went back to his position. Hindi siya nagsalita.

Tripped: Lilienne (2016)

Lilienne's explicit desire to avoid the worry of
conceiving clearly demonstrates her lack of consent to this potential outcome.

The added element of Riguel allegedly hiding Lilienne's birth control pills introduces an even more serious dimension to this issue, potentially escalating the
disregard for her reproductive rights to the level of reproductive coercion.

Sexual Engagement With a Minor

Waves of Memories (2016)

Aia is only 15 years old when she is kissed by the 21-year-old Ali.

Island of Fire (2017)

22-year-old Rad kisses the 15-year-old Zari.

In the same story, Rad goes beyond the kisses and she touches the minor Zari sexually when she reaches 17.

Tripped: Lilienne (2016)

Riguel engages in sexual intercourse with
Lilienne when he is already 18 years old and she is just 16 years old.

These concerns often center on the portrayal of dominant, controlling male characters and their relationships with submissive female protagonists, which can perpetuate harmful stereotypes and influence readers' perceptions of healthy relationships.

Jfstories Questions and a short rant

  1. Saan mababasa ang He Does Not Share? Hindi kasi tapos sa Wattpad. At yung iba pang di complete sa Wattpad.

  2. Mas better kung RNS ang unahin bago SBS 'no?

  3. So technically, except Aki lahat ng ML under this series may unang minahal? Like Hugo and Susie, Isiah and Carlyn?

  4. Anong feeling nung sumubaybay sa HDNS tapos malalaman na buhag pala si Aki sa KM? Anong pakiramdam nyo nun? Noong nilabas si Aki sa KM?

Ang daming karakter sa KM na hindi na ako familliar except sa lastname. While reading KM feeling ko ang dami kong na-miss hahahah. Imagine sa HDNS nawala si Aki tapos sa KM sya LEAD.

Akala ko naoutgrow ko si Jfstories

I've been dealing with a reading slump. I can still finish a book, but unlike before, when I could finish a 50-chapter book in one sitting.

Ang cravings ko talaga ay taguan ng anak, then someone recommened South Boys Series. I am currently reading Kiss Master. Hindi ko pala na-outgrow, nakalimutan ko lang yung feelings noong binabasa ko sya.

Her Montemayor Series is one of my favorite series sa wattpad. Ang saya rin makita at mabasa yung book ng mga Og writers na visible ang improvement.

Prologue pa lang dinala na ako sa batang ako noong enjoy na enjoy ko yung stories nya. Tapos ngayon hindi ko napapansin halos patapos na ako sa story hahahhaha. Feeling ko ang dami kong namiss na story nya.

Male characters who gave you the most butterflies

Sobrang dami ko nang nabasang stories sa wattpad; sa sobrang dami, limot ko na ang karamihan. Pero if there’s one/two stories and male leads in it that stood out the most for me, Si Jeydon Lopez talaga from The Four Bad Boys and Me!!! Partida ayan ang pinakaunang nabasa kong story sa wattpad, halos isang dekada na nga yata mula nung una kong nabasa yan haha pero kahit anong intense, bongga, o mas may kinagandahan ang ibang mga story na nabasa ko sa wp kaysa sa TFBBAM, hinihila pa rin talaga ako pabalik dyan. Lalo na kay Jeydon!!! Super undisputed. Nakailang reread na ko sa TFBBAM, walang sawa talaga. Kilig na kilig pa rin ako sa kaniya huhu. ​Tapos yung isa pang story at male lead, si Baron Medel ng To Love and Die and To Live for Love!!! ​Grabe, luluhuran ko talaga at sasambahin si Ate Barbs dahil sa paggawa niya sa istoryang yan pati kay Baron. Ibang-iba dating ni Baron eh. Napakasimple niya lang na character pero lakas ng dating at hila na parang nakabulldozer. Tbh, bukod sa kanila, ang daming ibang male leads na rin sa ibang stories ang nagpabaliw sakin pero iba sila hahhahahaha at hinding-hindi ko kailanman matatanggap na binaboy nila yung gumanap sa character ni Jeydon sa live adaptation 🙄

I hope I’m not the only one lol

Thoughts on AI generated book reviews?

I've been scrolling in fb and came across a post reviewing a locally published book, but reading the review I noticed na madami siyang buzzwords like "bla bla creates compelling tension" so I thought parang AI naman to from the structure.

Personally this raises some doubt if the person who generated the review actually read the book and if dineretso niya na lang tinanong sa AI yung title.

What do you guys think about the use of AI pang generate ng book reviews, lalo na if may balak kang bilhin yung book na yon?

Jonaxx and her problematic books

I will surely be label as one of her cult. Pero ang nonsense ng discussion kapag nilalabel nyo ang ka-argue nyo.

Criticism from some readers or non-reader= hate

Giving thoughts questioning the criticsim = kulto/panatiko.

Same same lang dapat. Kung ayaw nyong malabel as hater, stop labeling anyone as a fan or cult. Nawawala yung reason for discussion.

Even most of her readers naman tanggap na may concerning and problematic part ang book nya. Totoo, from age-gap, abuse, power dynamics and other concerning part. Even sa mga recent books nya. Meron paring concerning part.

Pero gets ko mga fans nya bakit yung iba tine-take as hate yung ilang post. It has been years, out of her more than 60 published books. Yung mga sinaunang book nya pa rin ang napapansin. Reason? It is still relevant. Open pa rin sa market. May point. As long as available pa rin sa market, subject pa rin sya ng criticism.

Pero hindi lang sya ang may book na may concerning parts. Pero weekly, monthly sya lang ang binabato nito. Bakit? Hate it or love it, super relevant ni Jonaxx. Sya ang may pinakamalawak na reach ng reader. Ask 10 people na gumagamit ng wattpad, 9 dyan kilala sya. Hindi man nababasa pa ang book nya, pero kilala sya.

CC, MAKI, JFSTORIES, BEEYOTCH, RAINBOWCOLOREDMINDED, AKANEXX, RACEDARWIN, some of the OG authors. Lahat sila may mga book na open pa rin sa market. Some of those books may mga problematic and concerning contents. Pero wala kang makikita na weekly or minsan daily na magpopoint nun. Don't start me sa, "Hindi naman kasi katulad ng fan ni Joanxx na hindi makatanggap". No! May dalawang klase ng reader lahat ng author. Isang hindi makatanggap at isang open sa discussion. Paminsan-minsan merong nasisita sa kanila, pero hindi kasing dalas ng kay Jonaxx.

Ito ang napapansin ko kung bakit may readers pa rin syang naiinis sa mga ganung topic.

  1. Sobrang tagal na. Sobrang dami na nyang nagawa.

  2. Hindi lang sya ang may ganun.

  3. Nila-label agad syang romanticizing yung ganun and jinajudge pagkatao nya pati na rin reader nya. ('Wag kayong tumanggi dito. Madami akong nakitang ganito).

Hindi lahat ng criticism ay attack. Hindi lahat ng sumagot sa criticism ay defensive or hindi makatanggap. Pwede rin bang stop nyo yung ijajudge nyo agad lahat ng nagbabasa ng books nya. Kapag may contents about her automatic hate commengs agad from her readers. Nakakawala ng gana sa discussion yung ganun. Nagmumukha kayong sarado nag pag-iisip. A post should be open for discussion. Hindi yung ililimit nyo agad na puputaktihin ng hate comments.
