Anybody else just notice that now direct messages will be gone come the 6th? Cause I did, it’s been like a hot minute since I’ve been back on here. But that’s annoying to say the least. I mean, what if someone wants to collab on a fic with someone? How are they supposed to privately talk about their ideas now? Comments aren’t very secure ya know.

@Darklight-Ruby yeah and to deprive us of that is wrong. I mean this place used to be the best, both for writing and just for generally talking to people. But now things have just gone downhill and this is just another useless change which in my opinion feels a bit alienating as well as just a terrible idea in general. After all not everyone likes to comment on the fics they read or communicate via author profiles/updates, I know I don’t.

@WolfiePyxie Exactly! It’s a very unacceptable excuse! There’s something called privacy and sometimes we have private conversations with these people! The conversations sections is meant for public not something private! Plus we have lives of our own, so we’re not texting 24/7!

@Darklight-Ruby exactly! I mean the direct messages were just a good thing to have in general. It made it easy to have conversations with people where you could talk about anything and everything, it didn’t have to just be related to whatever fic you were commenting on. And their excuse for taking it away is that only a small percentage of the users on here were using direct messages. Which I don’t think is reason enough to take it away from everyone in my opinion.
