heyyyy, i bought the book on amazon kindle and just wanted to know if the ending changed? i dont remember much from the ending when it was on wattpad so going to reread it was fun. but, the ending was very abrupt, it felt like something was missing? i dont know if thats amazon or what but it ends mid conversation with pierson and hanan talking about sylvia and dakota with senior salute. we dont know whos targetung sylvia and then it goes into the books acknowledgements. its so jarring because it cuts right at mid convo. now im a bit hazy but i feel like we knew more in the wattpad book about everything. but if not you can ignore this. im just really curious cause it feels like i paid money for something that was... unfinished.
          
          but that feels wrong because i feel like we had the answers when it was on wattpad! so im just super duper confused and don't know if you know. but hope you can clarify! anyways great book! enjoyed myself been one of my favorites since middle school. have a good day! :)

@sadkyoto hi! The ending is actually the same as it was on  wattpad when I wrote it at 17. If anything, the published version when it was on Amazon as a self published book had a different ending and maybe that’s what you recall? Not too sure. I was told to keep this version of the ending because there will be a second book, and they stated that the way it was before simply gave too much away. I deeply apologize for the way you feel. Dismissing Dakota is still on wattpad, and that does start with who did the senior salute towards Sylvia in the first 5 chapters. Once more, I am sorry that you feel like you didn’t finish a complete story.

Hi, I’m Richard Jean So, a professor of English at McGill University in Canada. I study online platforms and digital culture and have been researching Wattpad for a few years. I’ve really enjoyed reading your stories (like the Rejects of Richmond University) and would love to chat with you about your experiences writing and connecting with readers here.
          Would you be open to a quick 15–30 minute Zoom call? Or, if you prefer, I can email you some questions. Feel free to check out my professional website (https://richardjeanso.wixsite.com/mysite) to learn more about me.
          Thanks, please email me at richard.so@mcgill.ca if you’d like to connect.

Disarming Dakota is removed because it’s being published this May by wattpad books. Depending on a few factors, I may or may not return the book.

Hello! I'm reading dismissing Dakota and I was wondering on chapter 17 it says the rest of the book is in inkkitt and that there is a separate mature book with segments from the Wattpad book in it. I couldn't find your separate mature book and was wondering if the rest of the book published in Wattpad is the same one published to inkett? Also congrats on it becoming a published Wattpad story, what will that change from what's happening now?

@just_4_reads and the wattpad version is going to be its own thing - with new scenes and chapters/twists

8 years ago today - I posted the 1st chapter of disarming dakota...which was called "disarming the bad boy" under the username romanceistdead, or maybe it was pressrewind. it was one of those two. either way, thanks so much to everyone who has been reading my books for almost a decade now :)
