Completely forgot but October 13th marked this account’s 10TH BIRTHDAY. Time goes so so quick. It feels like only yesterday when I made it ;-;

Hey! 
          
          I just wanted to say that your Book Title Ideas inspired really great plots and characters for future books! 
          
          I wanted to say thank you for all the ideas

I was just doubting whether people actually used the book names books for its purpose instead of just for fanfic comments. Thankyou for this message <3 It’s reassured me and left me less frustrated than I was before I saw this :) (just been looking through my notifications and all the comments are fanfic comments)

I don’t take the decision to announce updates to my followers often, but this is one occasion where I believe it’s necessary.
          
          I recently noticed that certain categories (e.g. “random”) have vanished from Wattpad, yet you can still give books the missing categories. Now I’m not sure why, but it obviously brings some concern.
          
          In addition to this, Wattpad has recently been taken over by another company. Whilst they swear no changes are being made, there has been a lot of activity on Twitter where people have reported their books being deleted.
          
          Admittedly these are books that go against the rules, but stuff like having a copyrighted picture in your book cover is against the rules.
          
          I would advise those with books in the missing categories to back them up. When Wattpad deletes your books, there is no way of recovering them (they removed the backups a while back).
          
          I will be backing up my books but if the random category is being removed (and there is currently no equivalent), this could be the end for Book Names Ideas (among my other books).

@LeslieThroneberry I’ve not had any of mine deleted (yet) but I do really worry. And there’s one book I can’t back up as it is just too many images :(

@Harmony-Blue I honestly don’t know, but whether the deleting stuff is true or not doesn’t matter. Categories are missing, and it’s honestly good practice to back up stuff anyway.

Wattpad had a data breach just under a month ago and it exposed a heck-ton of info (see https://twitter.com/oceanswattpad/status/1285006161171959809?s=21).
          
          A heads up for anyone who didn’t know.
