Like your father, I left to get milk in 2021. Unlike your father, I finally returned. (June 2024)

Editing reading lists (June 2024)
I no longer support the messages certain stories may convey to young readers.
I have seen it all. Joining Wattpad at the ripe old age of... 11, I consider myself fairly lucky. I knew how to separate fiction from reality, but most teens, tweens, and even adults do not know how to do so and end up finding themselves in harmful situations. I notice the most common issue being abusive relationships. So, to help mitigate that, I will only display stories where the message is clear that harmful behavior is wrong and should not be glorified. I will still include books that contain dark topics, but only if their message is clear, and not just through a simple warning message and then "teehee they got married and lived happily ever after because all abuse is justified if they had a dark past! : )" That is unacceptable.
The content found under the category *Warning* will be the only "exceptions" and even then the story's plot needs to explain the irrationality of the characters' actions.
Which means I will have to read...every... single story through and through. Which will take me a while.
In the process, I will also be removing any story that hasn't been updated in over a year that isn't completed. I will create a separate list for uncompleted gems. That way you will not be wasting your time without warning.
I'm not able to change much on my own, but I hope more people will decide to do the same.

All the books in my reading lists are worth giving a look at. The people I follow have amazing stories that deserve more love.
