Hey all! It's been a while.
          	
          	Following the palarky with Wattpad I highly doubt I will ever write another story on here. For 4 years I was a dedicated user and absolutely loved writing stories that both I and other people enjoyed and I loved to interact with my readers.
          	
          	However, as most of you may know, Wattpad started taking down my stories without any warning nor explanation, and I lost years of hard work and creativity. I sent countless emails asking they explain their reasonings and every time I spoke to someone different they would give me a different excuse as to why it was removed, and I would always promptly debunk their reasons proving as to why they are not applicable to my works. I begged to at least be given back my drafts for 24 hours so I could save them for myself as that was a huge portion of my life, only to get told no and ignored from then on.
          	
          	It was a battle I truly tried my hardest to fight, and I am deeply saddened by the loss. 
          	
          	I truly appreciate every single one of my readers, followers and supporters. A lot of you kept me going when times weren't easy.
          	
          	But now, I'm am starting anew, and have got socials that focus around my art! As some of you may know, I went to college for 3 years studying Games Development (and Robotics) with the intention of becoming a concept artist in the Games Industry. Though that job opportunity will not come until the far far future, I am trying to get myself out there and become a more established artist (the games industry is very competitive, and people with a following are more likely to be hired!).
          	
          	If you would like to continue to follow me on the strange journey that is life, I will leave my socials on this post and another separate post for the people that don't want to read this long ass post.
          	
          	Thank you all for everything ✨ I love y'all <3

Hey Guys, I've now unpublished most of the stories Wattpad has, for now, "Kindly" let remain. As it's clear Wattpad doesn't like me, I've taken them down to avoid further risking them being deleted. 
          
          This is now TWO stories Wattpad have removed without notification. I can kind of understand the HiKaoru one being taken down due to Incest (even though that wasn't even the reason they removed it), but honestly, the Black Butler one? That's just stooping low. I am deeply disappointed in the way I am being treated by Wattpad and by how their "Support" team responds. I have been using Wattpad daily for over 4 years now but my loyalty means nothing. Wattpad have taken years of work away from me and refuse to give me answers. Wattpad used to be my escape from the horrible people of the real world and a place where I felt love and happiness thanks to all my amazing readers, but they have now twisted the way I see Wattpad. Now it is just another money-hungry, homophobic site. 
          
          I am about to turn 18 in a week, finish my second year of college, and perhaps go onto a third, and I've just got my first job! This was meant to be the time I was going to return to Wattpad, but I am afraid to write in the fear of it being removed.
          
          As Wattpad obviously have this account under their radar and are doing anything they can to destroy it, I am considering making a new account. It does unfortunately mean I will lose the small following that I have gained, but it would be a fresh start and with all new stories (as I'm obviously doing something wrong?). I'll keep you guys posted with my decisions. 
          
          Thank you to everyone who has read my stories and/or followed me. Your support means the world to me and I will continue fighting this.
          
          As always,
          Axel xx

It might do some good to copy down your stories in a word document or something so you never lose them, and I would totally support you making another account, and attempt to find you again. :)

Hi there guys! Wattpad 'Support' is saying the reason my story 'Only When He's Sleeping' got removed is for 'lack of sufficient plot' in most of the chapters, which I highly disagree with. So what do y'all think? Was there too many chapters without a plot? Or did each One Shot have it's own story?
          
          Let me know!
          
          
          Thanks,

I will also request that it be put back.

Hi guys, 
          
          it seems Wattpad likes to pick and choose who the penalise. Unfortunately my story "Only When He's Sleeping" has been removed entirely off Wattpad, including my draft. They have "banned" it and are refusing to give me it back but they won't tell me why.
          
          I am obviously very upset as that is 3-4 years hard work and they won't even let me keep a draft, yet they continue to allow hate profiles and stories to live on despite breaking all three "Talking about others" rules in the guidelines.
          
          It seems this book constantly get's targeted. I've always made it very clear I do not support real incest, and that this book is SOLEY made based on the fact they act gay for eachother in the actual anime, and so I portray them as such.
          
          In all the years it's been up there has never been a ban against Incest on Wattpad, as long as it's not rape. Now it suddenly is, and they don't even give me a warning or a curtsey email telling me of their harsh decision.
          
          I am currently re-taking my maths exams in college and my course deadline is in two weeks and I have been very stressed and upset due to the amount of work being forced on me and now Wattpad has added a-whole-nother issue to my plate.
          
          I'm very sorry to everyone that reads and loves that story and I am continuing to fight this with Wattpads "Support" email, however will most likely not be able to re-upload if the drafts are returned.
          
          I still have plenty of other stories published, ongoing and in the making however and I hope y'all will stick around.
          
          Thank you as always,
          Axel xx

@Axel-Loves-Icecream yeah it is. I use Quotev to write and post stories now. I really only come back to check what's happening with readers and writers. I use google docs to keep my drafts now.

@yomilove96 Yeah, I might have to start doing that soon. It's such a shame, I adored Wattpad and my readers. And WP Support is just so.. Unsupportive.

@Axel-Loves-Icecream yeah. Not gonna lie it was very horrible to do. Destroying someones work that took so long to do. Wattpad is slowly going down hill. Honestly I have learned to take all my work and copy it to somewhere else so I can keep my drafts safe.

Hi guys, my HiKaoru story "Only When He's Sleeping" has gone missing from my page. It's not in my drafts either, and all comments, votes and interactions with it of any kind are not coming up in either my activity nor my notifications. I was wondering if it's just me or if any one else is missing stories? Or if any of you guys are still able to see the story?
          
          Thanks all, 
          Axel xx

I'm going to a Panic at the Disco concert on the 28th and it's weird because it's like wait Brendon is a real human he has flesh and eyeballs and like he isn't just attached to a screen??? but I'm in really far away seats and also very blind so he'll still be behind a screen aka glasses for me I cri GODDAMMIT how do people have eyes that actually see without help like how can you just be able to see with no glasses

Am I the only one who's stories are for some reason losing thousands of reads? 

Axel-Loves-Icecream

@SailorCeres I put out a sequal to the first story I wrote on here because I loved writing it and the storyline and was so proud of myself back then (lol its not great though, its kind of rushed) plus the fact the first one left on a cliffhanger, and though the first one had like 3-4k reads the sequal only got 31 reads and that forever depresses me do dw  like, my most popular story by a mile is the twincest one and I HATED writing anything after the first chapter as it was only supposed to have the one but it got popular and people wanted more. The characters just didn't interest me enough and I couldn't think of a good storyline that I'd be happy to spend hours more than I already did writing. Like, I want people to read the ones I actually love and am proud of goddammit
