INFO: This Post only affects the site "Wattpad". Luckily, nothing has happened to my stories on Archive of our Own. Still, this news is a huge hit to morale :(
Hello!
If you have found me from Wattpad or have been reading there, I have terrible news. :(
Just as I was about to go to bed, I have unfortunately and suddenlyI received an E-Mail that my story (Moving into the World of Streamers) was deleted from Wattpad. (Please forigve me spelling mistakes, my eyes are literally burning and my head hurts.)
I have no clue why. They did not give me any kind of explanation and the Terms of Service Site they linked to is empty. Through google I found that they apperantly do not allow purely pornographic content? But since The OfflineTV Experience has been on there and my story is very similar - I can't imagine that to be the case.
The second option could be that I mentioned this Patreon - but I cannot see anything prohibiting this in the TOS either. They are also allowing users to link to the Patreon on their profile, so this option also seems unlikely.
I have appealed this right now, but if my experience with AO3 is any indication, then I likely won't get a response any time soon. =(
Luckily, I have built my community around Archive of our Own - and nothing happened there. However, this shows how important it is for us to have a seperate site like this Patreon, where I can keep you all updated on my work and where you can also interact with me.
It is really scary that a story as big as mine can just be removed without any warning whatsoever, and all I can do is desperately hope that this doesn't happen anywhere else.
In the About section of this Patreon, you can find all my official links - and I am thinking of maybe adding a Twitter or something just to add another way for me to stay in touch with you all. You can also find all my links here (https://linktr.ee/td23writing) - my profile on Wattpad and all my followers there still exist - but the story is simply gone. Beside Wattpad I exist on AO3 and Literotica, both under the name TD23.
I hope that I will get a response from the support soon - and more than anything do I hope nothing like this happens on AO3.
I am very grateful for all your support - and I hope that those of you who have been reading on Wattpad will join the rest of our community over on AO3! We will welcome you with open arms :)
Wish us luck! & on a happier note, in case you missed it, I posted a progress update and poll about Chapter 39 earlier today. You can find it right beneath this post.
Hoping for the best, and until next time
TD23
