I have three modes of reading
Dont read
Read a 500 page book in a day
Read only fanfiction until my eyeballs drop out of my skull from exhaustion
you know it's an old post when the ratio look like this
A LETTER TO MY FOLLOWERS:
Dear amazing humans,
I’m so sorry I’ve gone missing. It’s not anything you’ve done. It’s something I have done. You’d be so proud of me, really. I’ve taken the reigns on items in my life that are priceless and that long for my attention.
Choatic days of fun with work; Intentional time to work on my degree; and capturing a turning point in family time. I am so much closer to certain people due to the situations 2020 threw our way.
This doesn’t mean that you’re not important to me. You’re so very important to me. I cherish our awesome online friendship. So please don’t take my absence as a hidden message of some horrible meaning or change of heart. Please understand that this is good. When I spend time focusing on the items that can benefit from my dedicated attention, you’ll see the better growth, overflow, and flourishing writing skills. As well as, within the other areas of my life. Know that I adore your support and it keeps me going. Even when I have wanted to quit. I needed to take time after this past year.
I am working hard to make more content, grow in experience and expertise. However, this platform is free. Anyone can copy my work, not repost, hit the heart button, etc. Due to this, I am hesitant about posting when I do not get a lot of feedback. Therefore, I am open to convos about anything and everything. I also have a page where you can donate a coffee to me in my bio. It would be so appreciated. Thank you for all you do and for reading this far!!
Signed,
hi-i-write 💕

Re-blogging ‘cause I think everyone could use this at one point in there life or another.
Henry Cavill is Superman, he is Geralt of Rivia, he is a CIA agent, a duke, a knight, a special forces Captain and an SVU detective!
He is tall, he is smart, he is sweet, he loves his momma and he will beat you in a video game. What can’t he do?
Wink.
This Day in History: Juneteenth is the oldest known celebration commemorating the ending of slavery in the United Sates. Dating back to 1865, it was on June 19th that the Union soldiers landed at Galveston, Texas with news that the war had ended and that the enslaved were now free two and a half years after President Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation.
Fanfiction isn’t written for you, it’s shared with you.
BLESS THIS POST
[words to read and write by]
Everyone needs to remember this - writers as well. It’s okay to just write whatever you actually like and not write what people want you to.
Okay.
There is a new Wattpad competitor called Dreame.
I suspect a lot of people here read stories on Wattpad.
Dreame is similar in concept.
BUT.
Dreame has been attempting to headhunt writers from Wattpad. Sounds good, right?
Nope.
One writer was offered a $60 advance…to sign over the RIGHTS to his book. They’ll license the print book rights back for 30%.
Please do not sign with these people as a writer.
And please do not give them money as a reader…they are either a scam or just completely clueless. Either way, you’re better off sticking to Wattpad and tracking down writers you think deserve money to pay them directly ;).
Dreame also tried this on AO3. They got an account, posted what looked perfunctorily like a fanfic but was actually a recruitment pitch, and then ran around on high-volume fanfics making comments asking writers to join up and directing them to their recruitment post, in violation of AO3’s TOS. I had a comment from them and AO3 took down the post after I reported it.
Although I will say if you check out their site there’s some real fun badfic reading amongst their paid authors.
They’re doing it on Fictionpress as well. I got an email from them back in December & ignored it, figuring there was something off in the offer, but I didn’t realize just how scammy it was in its terms.
You’re smart.
They are claiming for one of their “contests” that they will “invite professional book reviewers” to review your books. No professional book reviewer is going to review a web series.
Some more gems, because I went to their site so you don’t have to:
To get the reward for daily updates, you have to update DAILY. You get two days off a month.
They are allowing fanfic authors to claim that they have the rights to their work. And yeah, I’m sure there’s fun badfic reading, but let’s not give them too much traffic, okay? :P
This is the first I’ve heard of Dreame, but that all sounds at least a little shifty. I’d encourage any writer - regardless of whether they plan to publish - to do some research on how legitimate publishing works and what the red flags are.
Here are a few articles on red flags and publishing scams, which can help writers make a more informed and safer choice:

Publishing Companies To Avoid And Nasty New Author Scams
Best and Worst Self-Publishing Services Reviewed & Rated by the Alliance of Independent Authors
Guys, seriously beware! I used to write on Wattpad and had a short story on there called “Molly, Molly” anyways a Dreame “Editor” pm’d me asking to me to switch over there and that I’d get paid. Right off the bat I said no, and they still pressed and pressed. I SAID NO 3 TIMES before they finally got the message.
The Copyright License Agreement is here and it looks dodgy as hell.
In case y’all didn’t hear/believe me the first six times^^^
They’re back.
In bold are names/sites you should avoid:
“Dear Author, [you guys know my name by now, gimme a break]
This is Monnie, an editor from STARY PTE. LTD, which is based in Singapore and owns two fast-developing fiction-reading platforms: FicFun, focusing on presenting thrilling stories for male readers while Dreame, a community featuring romance stories for girls. […] You can learn more about us by visiting our website, or joining the FB Group “Online Fiction Writers & Readers Union”.
Fifth time’s the charm, eh creeps?
no seriously, this is the fifth time I’ve literally told them to “fuck off” and they won’t
Please, please, please reblog this to spread the word that Dreame and FicFun are scams. In general if something looks too good to be true, don’t take it and do extra research/talk to other writers in the community about it. Be careful and stay safe, everyone.
@ao3commentoftheday
… oh look it’s FanLib 2.0.
And while they may be soliciting fanfic, their TOS says:
1.1 Work means all or part of the [ ] or its derivatives originally created or written by Author, who owns complete copyrights of such Work under any applicable law or regulation.
4.2 Author guarantees that they shall not plagiarize or infringe another person’s legal rights and that the Work is completely original.
And look what else!
4.3 Author shall uphold the reputation of Dreame and will not engage in activities that harm Dreame nor its interests.
This is a HUGE WHOPPING RED FLAG (argh, why can’t I do red text on a PC?) Nope, nope, NO HELL NO - never never NEVER accept any contract that says you will not engage in activities that harm “[company] or its interests.”
This means authors can’t even say, “ugh, this posting schedule is rough.” Can’t tell other people your manager is abusive. Arguably, can’t talk to a lawyer if they’re not paying you on time!
(Courts tend to allow for that. Can you afford a lawyer to defend that right, as well as your right to get paid?)
4.4 Author agrees to provide necessary assistance or support for Dreame’s marketing and promotion for the Work, including without limitation necessary information or other promotional materials.
AGAIN HELL NO. This means you never get paid, because they insist you’re supposed to bear the full cost of marketing. They can even charge you for marketing your work! “We made an ad for YouTube; it cost $4,500 to produce. Pay up.”
4.5 Author can self-publish the Work in paperback form only and all earnings will be Author’s own. However, Author shall not publish or sell the Work on any other third parties’ online platforms. If Author wishes to publish or sell the Work on a third party’s platform, Author must get Dreame’s express written permission by giving prior written notice to Dreame. Any future earnings made in this way shall be charged a further 30% commission by Dreame.
Aaah… wot? You can publish in paperback (but not digital forms?), but you… can’t sell on Amazon? AND Dreame wants to insist on a 30% commission? (Which is not defined… is that 30% of list price, or 30% of net? When and how do they think you’re supposed to pay them?)
This is a VERY BAD WRONG contract.
Bless them! Bless them for all of the WANK I will soon be able to rubberneck!
(Yeah, don’t sign up for this thing.)
Hi darlings, I was on hiatus for a bit. College is chaos and I’m having a time with my personal life.
