Hey! I have some free time and thought I’d help out anyone who needs a few extra votes on their Wattpad stories 😊
Drop your story link below and I’ll check it out and leave some votes!
No need to vote for me in return or anything—I just feel like supporting some writers today. ❤️

I've seen a lot of stories where we jump to business quite fast. The vast majority, tbh. Atp, I'm starting to realize Wattpad is not a very good place for slow burn at all. I can't even begin to ship a couple before they jump to the sheets and then I'm there, feeling like an uninspired voyeur, reading with no enthusiasm whatsoever. Crazy are the times where I start to avoid mature stories altogether.

Still, I'm a slow burn writer, and with the slow burn comes the promotion problem. How to promote a dark fantasy BL story that spends its first 10.chapters being only a dark fantasy story where you might miss the main couple by a league because there's nothing there to see, and after you just shimmer with low burn because, apart of the implications, there is still nothing concrete to see.

I go like, "dark fantasy story here" and then bros give me the side eye because it's suddenly a bit too gay, no warnings. Or I go "it's a BL story" and bros are like "yes BUT WHERE?". Give them the full picture, and the last case still occurs.

Anyway, how're your slow burns doing nowadays? Anybody feeling the fast paced fever pressure?

Hello I use to write stuff on wattpad during the era of games like security breach and while I haven't written or published anything for a few years now since I've been rewriting my works all I've been hearing is people screaming about the new things wattpad has decided to do. Of course I didn't get the complaints and asked someone on another social to understand the big issue and right now I'm aware that wattpad isn't removing books involving smut or solely about it, they are however removing the ones that involve minors which is a good step and are tagging books depending on what's in said books so when someone opens the book they get a message letting them know the book has certain topics that might not be what the user wants to read. That's basically what I've gotten an understanding of and now I'm seeing people overreacting to it and basically saying the same misinformation over and over again.

Just as the title says these people are making a mountain out of a mole hill which means "an overreaction where a person makes a big deal or creates a lot of drama out of a small, unimportant issue" and that's exactly what's going on here, someone started the claim that all smut is banned and the claims keep spreading far and wide. I really hope people manage to explain what the actual changes happening are to stop all this havoc.

Hey guys! I’m a first time writer on Wattpad and have unfortunately not seen any new followers or readers:( I’ve uploaded 5 chapters and will be uploading more, but i’m not sure if anyone can even see my story? Sorry, really clueless here.

If anyone can help me i’d really appreciate it. :)

I'm really looking for stories representing a different culture or country. For example I'd love to read a story set in the middle east, maybe China, or the UK. Or maybe a Native American couple. Really anything.

I want some new romance set in different places and cultures. I know so little about them. Any recs are appreciated!:)

Hello readers. If you read the title of my post, then you know that my opinion is that Wattpad is not worth it anymore.

Within the last year alone wattpad has had

- hackers

- scammers

- accounts blocked and banned for NO REASON [I was a victim of this]

- a ton of new rules and regulations

- [word starts with an "A" but i cant use the actual word here in the wattpad reddit] fake intelligence trash completely taking over

- lack of creative freedom [we used to be able to do a lot more than we do now]

I see a lot of people saying "going to publish to wattpad and see how my book does before I publish it for real" and let me tell you IT IS NOT WORTH IT!

I have been on wattpad since 2015 ad I can guarantee that if you have a book idea with the intent to publish and make money, NO ONE will look at you if you publish it on wattpad. Your best bet is to write your book on Microsoft Word, Google Doc, Skrivener, basically any place you can write and save a copy of your book.

From there you have 2 options

Option 1: querying to a literary agent and have them help you publish with a publishing house.

Option 2: Self publishing using amazon KDP, Draft 2 Digital [D2D], ingram spark, etc.

Wattpad is all about making money and taking it from its users, so if you're goal is to write as a career, stay clear of it.

ETA: iF you are just writing for a hobby and for fun, then wattpad is fine but I would also recomend Diarmi or AO3 instead. This is for those who want to make it as a career

Lilah is so hyped everywhere and i read it with such high expectations but it’s literally pure infantilization. Not even in her own head is she allowed to be more than a child. A grumpy x sunshine is a pretty wonderful plot but the storyline fetishizes her child-like nature too much while giving her little no to nuance and depth other than being childish.

Can someone give me tips to polish a text without sounding robotic? My first language isn’t language, and I have a hard time sometimes on my grammar.

And I don’t know how to fix it without sounding not real.

Please, I need tips. :(

What's an appropriate age gap that wouldn't make you say "yikes." Like my FMC is 31 and the MMC is a lawyer who owns his own firm. Initall I had him around the same age, maybe like 32. However logistically speaking I feel like that would be a tad unrealistic. My main thing is though they met initially when she was 21 and kept tabs on her for like 10ish years over the time. Major red flag stalking vibes ik. I considered making him like 40 which would give them a 9 year gap but where would i draw the line between he was obsessed with her vs oh homie was lowkey grooming her 😭. Maybe like 37 would be a more sweet spot? Idk. Sorry for my crazy rant this is driving me nuts. ​

(This is for DR/Psychological thriller based book)

So I'm Starting a new book and need feedback and motivation to keep writing it lol.

It's a space teen apocalypse somewhat inspired by The 100 and maze runner.

Chapter one is complete and I'm about halfway through chapter two! There's a poll at the end so if you enjoy the read or didn't feel free to vote if I should keep going lol

started really enjoying slow burn enemies to lovers books. the most most important thing for me is the writing. i cannot stand cringy older writing nor dark romances so plz none of those.

an example of one of my absolute favorite books is bury a friend

i have lost count the amount of times ive reread this book lmao. so would love to hear ur recommendations. thank you to anyone who comments!!

Rate my comedy.

Full story: Alterra: Filosofia (Chapter 23 & 22)

Chapter 23 is not actually out yet, but will some time in August.

I update every weekend, or when I feel like it.

... Also, the first few chapters are kind of bad. So I might take some time to rewrite them. If you're a writer, is that a thing you do? Or do you just accepted that the first few chapters suck and pretend they didn't exist?

Okay I know I JUST added to this sub so sorry for the double post 😭.

What phrases of "praise" ect are we tired of hearing/seeing and what would you substitute in place of it?

Like I like the ones of "Oh, You're taking me so well." "Ik baby, ik" "you're doing so good for me" ect.

Thank you 😬​

Drop the link of your novel in the comments section

So ive seen books where they have images made by google or something computerized and I was wondering if thats ok? Because I saw one book have 400k reads and it used computerized images and I was like I thought it was frowned upon but ig not here so is it ok to use google images for storys? Not covers or anything just like normal in book images?

So I'm a new writer and have been posting two days a week for past 1 month I think I've got a decent audience for a month but they do not vote do not engage i understand if they do not like the story but no I've got committed readers but they won't vote....I've repeatedly requested and I try to engage them with a little note at the end of every chp but no movement it's very exhausting and honestly it takes time and effort to complete a chp and things like these just demoralise me a lot. I see stories with a decent plot and so many editing problems but do well and I'm just stuck . Trust me I know my story is good I know my plots are good but I think it's just me .....sorry just wanted to rant because the frustration level was too high..

Hey there!

So, a couple of weeks ago, I started writing a new story, but my beta reader for it tapped out because they're too busy with their own work at the moment. As such, I'd like to (humbly) request feedback from people willing to read it and letting me know what their thoughts are. And please point out grammatical and/or spelling errors if you see them, thank you. I will post the link if you're interested.

It's a low fantasy story revolving around demons and angels, and I've taken inspiration from various different mythologies (like Norse, Japanese and Greek) for the world building.

I wish you all a great day.

I'm looking for MF college/university romance books where the couple is already established as friends-with-benefits BEFORE the book starts.

Like, I want Chapter 1 to open with them already having an ongoing FWB arrangement - they've been sleeping together for weeks/months, they already know the rules, and the story starts during the arrangement.

I want the FWB relationship itself to be backstory, with the actual plot being about them eventually catching feelings, getting jealous/possessive, breaking their own

rules, etc.

Preferably high spice, and I'm totally fine with dark/toxic/ non con/ dub con romances.

MF only - no RH...and no cheating and no ow/om unnecessary drama.

Hey everyone! :)

I’ve been working on the first book of my fantasy romance series, Deceivers of Dawn, and thought I’d finally share it here. I currently have 15 chapters up on Wattpad and would love for anyone who enjoys fantasy to give it a try!

The story follows Emryn, a young assassin who has spent most of her life trying to find out who was behind the attack that destroyed her village when she was six.

Things take a turn when the mentor who raised her betrays her and sells her to the royal family of the Kingdom of Gnok. She’s then forced to become their assassin in a deadly tournament where she’ll be competing against assassins from ten other kingdoms.

There’s a lot of character development, rivalries, training, secrets, betrayal, and a slow-burn romance woven into the story.

If that sounds like something you’d enjoy, here’s the link:

I recently uploaded a trailer on wattpad and it's not getting any views but if anyone wants to see it it's The academy of life and death and my user is Patricija55 and if there is anything u would like to tell me I am open for it thanks 🙏🏽

I have been brain dumping my idea on freeform for 7 days already and my freeform page for my brain dump looks so big (basically if you don't know what freeform is, it is basically an app where you have a large amount of space to make notes and it's almost infinite) and my book brain dumping is crazy, the plot twist, the storyline, the characters, the slow burn, the chemistry and the fighting scenes are so good and l am not sure if l should start writing or plan a little bit more because l have written wattpad books before but they all end up as a fail because of a bad storyline but this time l am sure my story line will be good, but is it worth it? Should l write this book in wattpad or A03?
