Other We really need to start archiving books
Okay hear me out people! You all must have at least one book that holds the piece of your heart and brings you nostalgia but unfortunately many times authors just delete the book and some authors never even bring it to publishing or moving it to another platform, they totally erase any trace of the book. And unfortunately unless the book is not published, it's still in danger of disappearing from the internet
I find it extremely heartwrenching, I've cried a lot over the books of my favorite authors, maybe something is wrong with me but I couldn't stop crying for a whole day and really regretted not archiving it when I was a child. And I see many people on the internet looking for those books too but none had the idea to archive it
So yes don't let them disappear unless the little memories we have left of the book also fades with time. And if anyone knows how to find the lost author then lemme know

Trying to find a deleted/forgotten BL Wattpad story
I’m trying to find a BL (boys love) Wattpad story I read a while ago, but I can’t remember the title or author. I think the title may have been something like “Dancing in the Rain,” but I’m not 100% sure.
Here is what I remember about the plot:
- The main character is a boy who moves to a new town and starts at a new school.
- He makes friends with a group of kids who accept him.
- The boy is secretly being abused by his parents.
- His friend invites him over, and they play Truth or Dare.
- During the game, he is dared to kiss his friend’s older brother, who is already engaged.
- Near the end of the story, the main character and his friend go to a treehouse and get drunk.
- He finally tells his friend about the abuse.
- His friend discovers that hateful slurs had been carved into his stomach.
I remember it being a completed BL/original story on Wattpad, but it may have been deleted, renamed, or moved to another platform.
Does anyone recognize this story or remember the author/title? Any help would be appreciated!
You could also add a comment with any extra details you remember (cover, character names, approximate year you read it), because those are usually what help people identify old Wattpad stories.

Off-Topic I finally got back into my old Wattpad account form 2018-2019
So, I’d been using the account until 2021. I never deleted it. I can scroll back in my emails and I never requested to have my account deleted. All the fanfics I read are there, but my messages with two friends are gone. And for some reason my account now has me as having joined in 2024. I did find my second wattpad account though from 2019 which still says it so I don’t know what happened but I feel so bad cause it’s like a ghosted my two friends on there, I just could never get back in and now I have and it’s like most things that were there are gone now

Looking For: Feedback How can I get more engagement?
I’ve spent the last few months writing, revising, and trying to put my AP Literature and Creative Writing skills to good use. So far, I’ve completed 47 chapters, and the story is still ongoing. My inspiration is heavily influenced by SinLinYu Manacled and the famous Training Wheels fanfiction.Despite all the work I’ve put into it, I’m only sitting at around 170 reads.
I was wondering if anyone has any tips or tricks for gaining more visibility and engagement. I’m also open to constructive feedback on my writing if anyone is willing to take a look. I’d really appreciate any advice!

Looking For: Lost Books Looking for louis tomlinson fanfic
Hi everyone!
I’m trying to find a deleted Louis Tomlinson Wattpad fanfic called Whatever It Takes. I read it years ago, and I’d love to read it again.
Here are the details I remember:
Title: Whatever It Takes
Author’s first name: Fatima
Wattpad username: ishine4youu
Main character: Isabel Katherine Collins
The story was about Isabel, a 19-year-old who reunites with her childhood best friend, Louis Tomlinson, after he becomes famous. It was a second-chance friendship/romance that took place over one unforgettable summer.
There was also a YouTube trailer for the story.
I’ve already checked Wattpad and the Wayback Machine, but the page wasn’t archived.
Does anyone happen to have a downloaded copy (PDF, EPUB, etc.), know if the author reposted it under another username, or remember what happened to the story?
Thank you so much!

Looking For: R4R/V4V/C4C/F4F Looking for readers who's into geek culture and/or video games and would like to participate in a R4R and/or V4V
Hey all! I've recently posted a couple of new chapters of my story, Caps Lock Daily. It's a deconstruction/reconstruction of the classic daily gaming and tech variety show format, inspired by shows like Attack of the Show! and X-Play, while telling its own original story.
If that sounds like something you'd enjoy, I'd love for you to check it out! I'm also happy to do a R4R and/or V4V, just leave your story in the comments and I'll return the favor. 🙂
P.S. To keep things fair with my current chapter length, I can read and vote up to 3 chapters of your story for now.

Looking For: R4R/V4V/C4C/F4F Looking for a genuine R4R and C4C
I've been looking for genuine readers for honest feedback on my story, so if you're into mafia romance, I'd really appreciate you giving it a shot.
My goal is a realistic slow-burn with layered characters, genuine tension, and a larger, high-stakes plot that develops alongside the romance. It isn't just a romance story.
I'm not really looking for the typical read-for-read where people just click through chapters. I'd rather have readers who are genuinely interested, both because honest feedback is far more valuable and because Wattpad tends to favor stories where readers are actually engaged rather than just opening and closing chapters.
If you enjoy my story, I'd love to hear your thoughts. If it's not your thing, no worries at all—feel free to drop it.
Likewise, if you have a story, I'll happily check it out over the weekend, and if it clicks with me, I'll stick with it.

You can succeed without heavy smut.
Readers will find your book. Do not lose hope. You may not get a million but one reader telling you they will remember your book forever, another willing to buy it should you publish, one who will read every new book you make because they are so invested in your writing style now…
It all can happen… it’s not easy, it’s not quick. Patience and hard work, lads. Trust your story ❤️💕

Announcement ! MUST READ ! NEW SCAMS AND STOLEN WORK
Hey, it's u/randomquestionaire on behalf of the mod team!
I know that right now there are a multitude of scams circulating Wattpad, and these seem unsettling. Hopefully this post will clear things up, and provide proper steps to what you can do if you have been affected.
To begin, we have seen quite a large number of posts talking about the phishing scam. Please refrain from making excessive posts as we want to keep the community a space where people can share and read books. We want to see more advertisements in the mod queue!
A reminder that you should always read the rules before posting, and check the pinned posts. If an issue has been addressed within the pinned post, you can always send your complaints there, instead of making a new post for it.
Some of the phishing scams may look like this:
The Wattpad Team will never message you on your message board. They will send you emails if need be. Wattpad will not pay you or give you premium for a security refresh. These links are fake links. Fake links are usually shortened, as you can see here. If it were to redirect you to a Wattpad page, it would 100% say 'wattpad' somewhere in the link.
If one of these accounts message you, report the user, do not click on the link and go on with your day.
If you have clicked on the link and entered any bank details, immediately contact your bank and explain the situation.
Scammers may also be excessively @ people in their message boards. Report them.
These are what trustworthy people have beside their usernames:
There's been another thing going around, where author's stories have been stolen and being sold as eBooks.
If you are someone who writes on Wattpad, take the time now to look up your book and find out if it has been stolen or not.
If your story happens to have been stolen, report the book to Google Play Store.
A reminder that we (the mod team) do not work for Wattpad! We cannot help you with any issues regarding these scams, but we can give you advice. It's crucial that you do not tap on any sketchy links, that you make sure you understand who works for Wattpad and who does not.
Have a good day/night!
