Amalthea

Wow I haven't published anything in a year. Sorry guys I'll step up my game. Depression sucks.

It is like 1am and I am stressing myself yet again so I may as well scream into the endless void that is my wattpad convo board. 
          
          Now I've been writing fanfic for a solid 4 years now formally and I gotta say I'm always gonna love Wattpad. The format is sleek. Easy formatting for us writers and just sooooo convenient and simple. It's familiar.
          
          However, I haven't really explained why I haven't moved to Ao3 fully despite saying I'd do it multiple times. I have a few reasons;
          
          1.) Ao3 readers and writers purposely look down on Wattpad authors simply because they view our works as "lower quality". Everything from grammar to formatting, they just straight up hate us.
          
          2.) Importing from Wattpad to Ao3 is a FUSS and I mean it. At this point I'm considering throwing all my shit into one document and posting it all as 1 chapter on there because who has the time to separate by chapter. I don't have the patience and I hate that god for saken websites format.
          
          3.) I'm most familiar with wattpad and it has practically been home since middle school. I mean I practically grew up with this site as my fanfic culture. This site was my introduction to fandom spaces and despite the bad times I've loved every moment here.
          
          4.) . . . I really just hate to start over.
          
          I know my days on Wattpad are numbered since my works could be pulled at any moment. I know that I could lose everything if I don't move quickly, but I am so tired of fandom spaces at the moment that I don't care. All Ao3 has done so far is proven to be annoying as all hell, but i don't want to lose everything I've worked for. I mean this page is my literal child, but I digress.
          
          The main reason I won't move is because this place is just to familiar. Even if my shit gets nuked from the internet. 
          
          I guess I'll just accept that.

"Amalthea where have you been?"
          
          Hiya lovelies I am so sorry I have been literally gone forever. College has been uhhhh... horrible. Confidently gonna say horrible.
          
          I am also migrating over to AO3 more thoroughly now and plan to set up tumblr for my one shots and bonus content.
          
          I can't pump out fics like I used to, but Whims of the Spiderweb will be completed.

Omg The Whims of the Spiderweb finally made it to 100 views!!!

Bruh I see ya'll reading my fics at literally 1 in the freaking morning. GO TO BED YA NIGHT OWLS

Give me random words, plz help with my writer's block.

Welp I'm back from the dead. Just letting ya'll know I will be participating in Radiodust week this year.

Hello everyone,
          Lately there has been a trend of people printing fanfiction, binding it into physical novels. However, binding isn't the problem as long as it is not for profit, but the selling and purchasing of these fanfictions are the problem.
          
          Legally fanfiction is a gray area already, but can exist independently as long as authors ARE NOT PROFITING OFF THE WORKS.
          
          However entitled people are putting authors at risk while also stealing their works so as a writer I want to make it abundantly clear to all 505 of you lovlies.
          
          I DO NOT CONSENT TO THE DISTRIBUTION OF MY WORKS FOR PROFIT. NOR DO I CONSENT TO MY WORKS BEING PRINTED OR REPOSTED IN ANY OTHER FASHION.
          
          If I ever find my works reposted without my consent or utilized for profit in any way I will take down all my works without a singular care in the world and ya'll will never hear from me again.
          
          Not one human being has the right to profit off my fanmade works and I take this deathly seriously. 
          
          I am restating it again to be clear. No one has the permission to print and distribute my works in any way, nor do I consent to the reposting of my works, or profiting from my works.
          
          I love writing more than anything, but I will tear apart this page and delete like nothing if anyone disrespects my wishes.
          
          I am making this INCREDIBLY clear.

Hey guys. Sorry I haven't written anything. I will be trying to get back to it. I miss writing so much. It was the one thing that made me feel human but I am stuck in the endless cycle of school papers.
          
          Thank you all for your patience with me.
