Guysss I need book suggestions, the wattpad keeps suggesting me mafia romance and smut mostly. I want to read something interesting.
Any author who's writing something with strong female lead especially, send me your story links, I'll give it a try.
I am really confused here. I use simple words but struggle a lot when I want to express complex emotions, description of people. How to get out of this?
ok genuinely so tired of wattpad recommending me the same mafia book with 2M reads for the 400th time
like i KNOW there's insane hidden gem books out there just sitting at 12 reads because the algorithm has main character syndrome and only shows the same top tier stuff forever
so i made a form (linked below, also posting it as a chapter on my wattpad) where literally any author can drop their book — doesn't matter if you have 5 reads or 50k, if you're proud of it it belongs here
just fill in: title, author, genre/tropes, link, and sell it to me in one unhinged sentence
i'll be compiling everything and reposting/sharing (WITH credit ofc, not stealing anyone's glow) so people actually have a way to find stuff that isn’t the same 10 books everyone's already read a million times
It might not look like it but my WiFi is good I can do everything else but look at anything on the main screen idk how to tag so sorry if its not right
Excuse me if I used the wrong flair, but I have a question for my fellow writers.
When I write books, they tend to take quite a while. My first officially published book took me five years, and the one I am currently working on is projected to take the same amount of time, if not longer.
Naturally, one's skill improves slowly as time progresses, thus intricate style changes can happen throughout the book. These are usually not drastic changes, but can become apparent when (for example) comparing the first chapter to the last/most recent.
Do any of you have the same issue? If so, how do you deal with it? Do you rewrite the chapter?
I write like a line and jump to the next in the word, I copy the whole chapter and paste it in Wattpad as a new chapter. When I open the chapter it isn't line by line, instead it is all in one line
Example:
What the wattpad shows:
The silence stretched out with Teal not meeting their eyes."You saw her." Van sighed.Ryu stepped towards Teal, placing his hand on his shoulder "Don't get upset about it. We are gonna find the person. We are definitely going to know the reason we are going through this."The phone that was given to Ryu rang."Looks like my dad found the guy.""No way. We just came out like 10 minutes ago though." Teal peeked at the phone
What i paste:
The silence stretched out with Teal not meeting their eyes.
"You saw her." Van sighed.
Ryu stepped towards Teal, placing his hand on his shoulder "Don't get upset about it. We are gonna find the person. We are definitely going to know the reason we are going through this."
The phone that was given to Ryu rang.
"Looks like my dad found the guy."
"No way. We just came out like 10 minutes ago though." Teal peeked at the phone.
Pleade read details below, and comment if you’re interested in what I’m going for!!
Meredith is an avid romance reader, she’s read nearly every romance book under the sun. Yet somehow she’s still unlucky in love. Meredith has a messy life, chaotic half siblings whom she loves dearly— a loving dad who remarried — and an absent mom who can’t be bothered.
Kaleb is Meredith’s best friend since 8th grade. He’s also very into photography and takes pictures of Meredith whenever possible, not realizing the reason he’s been doing it all along.
Until one day, a new guy starts hanging out with them, Devin. Devin is charming and looks like he could be the lead of an emo band. Meredith falls for him instantly. They all become friends but it becomes increasingly hard for Kaleb to ignore his feelings any longer.
Does anyone know if Wattpad still has an active community? I’d love to start writing stories there, but I’m worried there aren’t many active readers anymore. Does anyone have experience with it? Is it still worth posting there?
am i the only one who feels that its very disrespectful of writers to disappear and stop updating their unfinished stories without any explanation?
and then (not all the time) they come back for a while until they disappear like a few months later? and it just goes on this way forever?
i have a writer on my mind (gracie who wrote bad boy roommate, iykyk) and shes done this multiple times
and like i get it, we all have some personal stuff and sometimes theres no time to write and update, but i think the reader (supporters basically) should at least get like a word or two saying theyre going on a hiatus or sum.
especially since gracie has ream account, where you pay for earlier updates and where she has also stopped posting updates on rn (idk how it works, could be that youre not charged now that shes not posting)
im not saying that writers have to be active no matter what, not at all. i understand that sometimes stuff is happening in their personal life and they might not be able or just not want to write and update, but i think the readers deserve a little acknowledgment
basically the title , i dont understand how this works ?
or even if you know any webtoons like this or dramas, basically anything
These bots are getting out of hand. I thought this shit was fake fr but they got me too mane, stay safe out there yall.
What I mean by that is if Wattpad closed down your account during the purge or before that, and you know you didn’t write anything that violated the Guidelines.
Document all of these:
— All story links in Google.
— Your Profile link in Google.
— Your empty profile where it says “User Not Found” (I know my profile isn’t empty but you get the idea)
— Deleted Accounts section in Wattpad’s Terms of Service.
How to Make a Report to Wattpad (Again)
Step 1: Gather all the images you need.
Step 2: Using an Incognito window and while staying logged out, navigate to Wattpad’s Help Center and to where it says “I Need Help/I Have a Problem”
Step 3: Fill out your report, but please make sure to be professional, factual, and mature when you write it*.* Don’t get emotional and demand your account back— they won’t answer it. Give them your exact username and email address. That is the best way to get your account back and get you in contact with a human agent.
Step 4: Wait for Wattpad Support to send you an email. It’s pretty quick. They’ll then review your account, and if you’re clear of any wrongdoing, a human representative will contact you with two emails— a reactivation email and a password reset link.
Step 5: If you only use the app, it will take 24-48 hours for all of your stuff to recalibrate but the website resyncing everything is instant. However, if you have any stories with violations, they’ll be permanently deleted. If your stories’ content is fine by Wattpad’s standards, it will still be there.
(You will, however have to put your profile & background pictures back up and rewrite your bio and the people who originally followed you will have to follow you again)
There you have it!!
If anyone is interested in helping me out, I’m looking for genuine feedback on my writing!
I’m down to do r4r / c4c as well if you’re interested in that!
My story is contemporary y/a romance and I tend to mostly be interested in that genre for reading, so please keep that in mind for r4rs.
Comment below if any of this interests you!
Hi everyone,
Writing has been a huge passion of mine for a long time, and I’m currently working on a story that I hope to eventually publish beyond Wattpad one day.
Right now, the version available on Wattpad is still the original, unedited first draft. While I continue writing new chapters, I’ve also been going back through my original documents to revise and edit them, fixing spelling, grammar, continuity issues, and other mistakes that slipped through during the initial writing process. Because of that, some of the chapters posted online don’t fully reflect the edits that are currently being made behind the scenes.
I’m looking for honest, unbiased feedback from readers. Not just on the writing itself, but on the story as a whole.
If you picked this up in a bookstore, would it be something you’d actually want to keep reading? Does the plot feel engaging? Do the characters hold your interest? Are there any points where your attention starts to drift?
I’ve participated in a few review-for-review and book club programs on Wattpad, so my earlier chapters have accumulated quite a few comments and suggestions. However, once those organized reviews ended, the later chapters received little to no engagement, which makes it difficult to gauge genuine reader interest.
I know every writer dreams that their story could become something bigger, and I’m no exception. I’d love to hear from readers who can tell me honestly whether this story has potential, what works, what doesn’t, and what would make you more invested in it.
Constructive criticism is absolutely welcome. I’d rather hear the truth than receive empty praise.
Thank you to anyone willing to take the time to read and share their thoughts. It genuinely means a lot.
XOXO Siren
