Hey people. Just a little warning to all.
          	
          	There has been more and more accounts being made to impersonate Wattpad staff members offering VIP stuff and other bologna- link to various sites and all.
          	
          	Whatever you do, do NOT click on those links. The moment you do, they can acquire information about your account including passwords, email, and other private information. When they acquire that, it's only a matter of simple hacking programs before they have access to every account you ever owned on the internet. And if they start making purchases and transactions under your name, you're gonna be the one answering to those companies about not paying.
          	
          	It's seriously important you do not click those links. I just got one myself, AGAIN. It is so much safer to report the message as spam to Wattpad and be wrong than to believe the message, click the hyperlink, and be wrong.

Merry Santamas, people! :D Boy and girls, lovies and love-less, young and old, humans and furry friends, and EVERYONE in between, outside, and in questioning the spectrum! May your day and new coming year be filled with light and warmth from friends and family! Happy Holidays and have an even better New Year!

A warning to all my followers! I just got a message from a user named partowsgreatar1975 that claimed I was selected for a free VIP something or another for Wattpad for life. They also gave me a link.
          
          If you get a message like that, DO NOT CLICK THE LINK!! Whatever you do, do not click it! Report the message and wait for official Wattpad staff members to say it's legit. If it's not, then they will take care of the spammer.
          
          If you're given any strange links because you've been selected for anything, NEVER click the link! Report it! Never ignore them, because someone could fall for it.  There are too many things bad people can do with online account information.

Hey-yo people!
          
          The @BACommunity is seeking for applicants to join.  The application document is provided here:
          https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1giwZcoq1s6ibcvv4v641MbpcSCO0H4OM64vC3NkmMMw/viewform
          
          If you wish to know who the BACommunity is, you can check out their profile and get the information there. Can't wait to see new faces. ^-^ Oh! And if you can't join, no worries. If you could maybe just spread the word out the BACommunity to people, that would be just as helpful.

To those reading this, thank you for your time.
          
          I'm working with and anti-bullying group here on Wattpad known as the @BACommunity (Bullying Awareness Community). In one hour after this message is sent, applications to join will be closed for the month of November, but will be brought back up in December until the holidays.
          
          What won't stop, though, are the interviews we've been collecting for some time now. The BAComm has been reaching out to people, and vise-versa, and collecting several views from many individuals who have experienced bullying from multiple view points, whether a victim, a bully, bystander, or anything in between. https://www.wattpad.com/story/20824127-help-stop-bullying-interview-book
          
          Look for "Help Stop Bullying! Interview Book" if looking through the search bar. We're always seeking for people willing to share their stories.
          
          If you've been a victim and you would like to share, may you wish to remain anonymous or not is up to you, a google document link is provided here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/135MqBBxg9_ES8cWfv8-pxruEOCNGchGqFwS6eJ7EkSs/viewform
          
          If you've been a bully and wish to share, a document link is here. Please note for your safety, you will automatically be listed as anonymous, and you will not be judged. We've already had applicants share their stories in our interview book.
          
          If you wish to be interviewed by hand (aka, private message), that is not a problem. Shoot me a message and I'll be more than willing to send you a form to message me back filled out.
          
          Thank you for reading. This means a lot to me, as I've been a victim. We have a thread in the Cafe Club I help monitor. Can't miss it. It's pinned at the top with the words "Stop Bullying! - with the BACommunity". We also have big plans to spread our sights even further to several sites.
          
          Always remember, it only hurts when everyone remains silent. Speak up. Be the change you want to see.

To those of you reading, I'm giving a few links to google application-document thingies for those who would like to support the BACommunity's efforts in their projects.
          
          The first is an application if you wish to join the group. We're still small, but we're also still growing. Application due dates are over by the end of this month: Oct. 31st - Nov. 1st.  https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1giwZcoq1s6ibcvv4v641MbpcSCO0H4OM64vC3NkmMMw/viewform
          
          If you have a story of being bullied and are willing to share for BAComm's Interview book, the document is here. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/135MqBBxg9_ES8cWfv8-pxruEOCNGchGqFwS6eJ7EkSs/viewform
          
          If you've been a bully and are willing to share your POV, the document is here. Fear not, your name is anonymous for safety. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1GWLLKTPLiZjb98lLmZzT24QsEdIlgR4-Ymk7eFT6pug/viewform
          
          If you wish to see the interview book before you click any of those links, you can see it here. https://www.wattpad.com/story/20824127-help-stop-bullying-interview-book
          
          This cause means a lot to me, as you can tell. Thank you for reading.

Alright guys. To whoever's reading this, I need to ask a few serious question. Have you wanted to make a stand against bullying? Don't know where to look to start your effort?
          
          I highly encourage each and every one of you to check out the BACommunity here on Wattpad. Right now, we're a small group trying our hardest to get projects and ideas going. There is a pinned thread near the top of the Cafe Club titled "Stop Bullying!- With the BACommunity". There, we monitor the posts and reach out to people who say they are struggling with bullying and unfair ordeals.
          
          As a former victim of bullying, I jumped in when they offered applications to join. I've wanted to put effort into a cause like that, and this is going to be that first step. It would mean so much to me if you could just take 5 minutes and check them out. Even if you don't want to join the group, I'm begging you, please spread the word about our community. We're small, but I can tell you first-hand we've already made a difference.
          
          Thank you to those who have read this. It means so much to me that people are willing to help out in these moments.

I think... I think I'm gonna do it. I've wanted to make one for a long time now. I've written like 5 different things since my last chapter post and I've never felt satisfied.
          
          But what do I call it? A CYA dating novel? It can't be a visual novel, there's nothing but words and maybe slight media. I've always, ALWAYS wanted to make a furry visual novel like Morenatsu, but programming will be completely against me from me not knowing what the heck to do.
          
          BUT!!! All hope's not lost! I can still write! >w</) And so far nothing's gone wrong with Microsoft Office and Notepad! I can totally do this!
          
          ... Just remembered... There's going to be several branches in this... It's going to be a bit more than just 50 chapters each. //w//" I'm gonna have to duplicate chapters when going on different paths... Oh man, this is gonna get tricky...
          
          BUT!!! I WILL prevail! I'm not gonna be able to get anything done if I don't at least try! True I might make myself look like a fool, BUT I WILL BE FABULOUS AT IT!!
