hi guys if you didn't know ViacomCBS has announced its partnership with Wattpad, using the website to mine for stories to adapt into original series for streaming services like Paramount Plus.
Wattpad already works with SyFy, Sony Pictures, and Hulu, but there's a difference. Those platforms are offered stories by Wattpad or pick stories by their popularity. These are stories that have already blown up and are identifiable by large amount of readers.
The ViacomCBS deal however allows viacomcbs to look through Wattpad stories and pick whenever one they want, then use it however (quite possibly in an exploitative manner)
This isn't a "win"
It's a company stealing ideas from the hardwork of others. They could easily hire screenwriters who are in their target age group, or if they wanna utilise Wattpad so much, offer screenwriter positions to writers whose book they want to reference/adapt/use. How about hiring writers instead of 'mining' their work?
Not only that, there's no clarification on whether the original works uploaded directly on Wattpad, if adapted, would translate in proper credit and monetary compensation to the original author. One can assume that the stories are going to get ripped off and credited to the show runners who are going to earn money from recognition that isn’t theirs, especially if said stories aren't that well known.
On Wattpad, often there are reuploads of things written on other websites without the original author's permission. Under this new policy, a potential broadcasting company could pick up one of those reuploaded-without-consent works and the original author might not come to know about it at all and even if they do and claim copyright, the process takes a long time.
Wattpad has essentially laid out thousands of original stories for some big company to rip off and use for shows.

@AvaCross122 also i don't really believe the exact words they say in community updates. No big corporation would openly tell you that they've made a decision that's shitty for you, they'll twist it into happy words.
@AvaCross122 they announced the partnership on twitter (sorry for the late reply, i deleted Wattpad)
every now and then I remember being a dramoine shipper at 12/13 and curse myself for it
@SunshineAroma dracos a pureblood fanatic. It’s the person who bullied and tormented Hermione for years, wished she was killed in the second book by the monster in the Chamber of Secrets, and sat there and watched while his Aunt tortured her and carved that horrible scar into her. He's a bully and even if he does change slightly at the end, it's nowhere near the person fanfics portray him as. If say fanfiction Draco might be somewhat okay for dramione but the Draco that ended in a canon arc definitely isn't. I have yet to read one Dramione story where the author does not change Draco’s character, and I’m not talking about the whole “the-wars-over-I’ve-decided-to-change” type of change, I’m talking about them taking his form and distorting it to either the sweetest, most sensitive guy around, or to this totally awful appearance of Draco being some sort of Hogwarts-type bad boy. But ig most of us have that phase of dramione before coming to these realizations
HI I have a new book, forgot to promote it yesterday but two chapters are already up :] check it out if you'd like <3

and what if I took one of my fanfics, changed character names and posted them here
twitter, insta and whatsapp are down
do I need to talk to people on Wattpad pms now
@AvaCross122 It's all over the news, and apparently the hacker is a 13yr old Chinese boy, and he's deleting almost all the data of Facebook, so Facebook isn't just not working, it will most likely be gone. Idk about WhatsApp losing data tho, but I really hope Instagram stays because I love it so much.
Where's your book?
