    Question

    Yeah, the forums were closed. Support was next to impossible to get ahold of. Ambassadors abused their standing. Stories and accounts going down left, right, front, and center. Discrimination, hatred, etc. It went on and on. The ambassadors used to get so aggressive when simply asking for more...

    Question

    Wattpad sold out to Naver which is a Korean company. So, while it is following the original guidelines, from what I know. Koreans really crack down on sexual violations. So, a lot of stories that has been violating this is going down by the mass. From what I can tell, if it is pornographic...

    How to find decent editor?

    Hiring an editor might not be cheap. Honestly, if you cannot do it yourself. Joining a discord might be useful. From time to time, they catch a slipup of mine, and I am grateful. While also developing writing, I have also developed my skill in editing. Even then, catching all mistakes is not...

    Why do some authors use present tense narration?

    It will be daunting at first. I will not deny this. I will suggest starting more simple at first, then work your way up. Just to get the feel of it. Also, looking up the rules of present tense. For instance, a past tense line can be this. She passed the car that was speeding nearby, the sound...

    Why do some authors use present tense narration?

    Depends on the specifics. Some ideas simply work a lot better in present tense versus past tense. Certain emotions are magnified better in present than past tense. Similarly speaking, there are elements in which past can be better than present. However, when push comes to shove. Frankly...

    Yeah, judgment will always be there. No getting around it. Though, as I said. It works both ways. You get what you paid for. The work is free, so what happens-happens. Freedom to speak as I said, but not freedom to the consequences of one’s words. Which is why as stated before, be weary of your...

    And I agree there, criticism is part of the process after all. Though, as I stated, multiple times. The work is free, it is not paid for. The standards do not apply as the same. If the work was paid for, then naturally, reviews are mandatory, and the author has no control over this in the least...

    That’s pretty much it, and in that sense. The reviewer cannot complain if they get banned, since the work is for free. It works both ways.

    And as I said, this isn’t being made for profit. If it was, it would be a completely different scenario. When works are for profit, authors cannot do anything about it, and are best left to ignore it. You tend to forget, that this site is far from anything professional. Your comparison is a moot...

    And I understand this, it still falls back to pretty much everything I stated. The author isn’t doing this for profit. Meaning, how they react to the review is 100% within their right to do so. Readers in this case has zero power in whether they wish to argue this or not. Since these sites...

    There is an old saying. If you have nothing good to say, don’t say anything at all. It applies throughout every single thing in life. Typically, it is better to give reviews if the author asks for it. In that case, they get what they get. This is also how I operate when giving reviews. I only do...
