anyone else feel like their writing isntt quite good enough for such a beautiful website?

FranklinBarnes · July 30, 2021, 4:34pm

I have an adblocker on, so I assume that’s what’s giving the funny results

CJtheSiteWizard · July 30, 2021, 4:34pm

OH another feature I forgot to mention, if you’re on mobile, you can swipe left and right between chapters to navigate while you’re reading.

CJtheSiteWizard · July 30, 2021, 4:34pm

Probably lol

Forever_D_A · July 30, 2021, 4:35pm

also you can edit your book on mobile (and it ACTUALLY WORKS WITHOUT BEING MISERABLE)

MiniMoxx · July 30, 2021, 4:36pm

I thought you were when you guys asked those questions on the forums a while back hehee

But honestly, this site… I just. I’ve only been working on uploading my book and honestly, the way you do the chapters and writing is just so freaking easy. I LOVE IT

You’re honestly amazing, to have done all this.

Are there plans to make books visible without logging in? One thing I like about Wattpad is that I can share the link for people to read without having the hassle of registering for an account and logging in.

DollyTH · July 30, 2021, 4:39pm

I’ve been spotted!

J.L.O · July 30, 2021, 4:40pm

Do they have a tab function so I can indent paragraphs?

CJtheSiteWizard · July 30, 2021, 4:42pm

For now, no. I might revisit it once we see how things are progressing.

I’m SO glad. The whole mod team has been helping me figure out the best and most logical way to upload content, so thank them too for all their input lol.

There’s not a tab function per se, but there’s a “text” tab that you can access which allows you to wrap all your content in this code (or similar):

<div style="text-indent: 20px;">Content here</div>

And that will indent every paragraph for you.

SomewhatDistracted · July 30, 2021, 4:43pm

Oh, yes…this is exactly how I feel. But I might get over myself eventually and upload the story I’ve been working on.

J.L.O · July 30, 2021, 4:45pm

That’s the 1 thing that pissed me off on wattpad.

CJtheSiteWizard · July 30, 2021, 4:47pm

We tried to take into consideration what actual writers want and need to use a site as well as how readers consume said writing. Formatting is so important for so many different reasons, as is scheduling and legibility etc, so I’m hoping we’ve tackled most of the things we see many writing sites lacking these days.

J.L.O · July 30, 2021, 4:49pm

I had to manually enter spaces and every edit would take the suckers out, automatically.

I quit fighting with it, but that indent is crucial in dense writing so your brain registers a paragraph break.

stella_vigo · July 30, 2021, 4:50pm

~~Just a question, but do read counts also include the author’s own reads? I don’t want to unintentionally inflate my read count but I can’t stop admiring the formatting~~

FranklinBarnes · July 30, 2021, 4:51pm

I don’t think it does; I scrolled through all my chapters to check for errors but didn’t see my view count go up.

CJtheSiteWizard · July 30, 2021, 4:51pm

They do, but read counts only count once every 24 hours. So you can’t just keep refreshing a page to inflate your read count.

J.L.O · July 30, 2021, 4:51pm

I like reading my own stuff. That crap annoys me, too.

Forever_D_A · July 30, 2021, 4:52pm

I’ll get there eventually lol, but rn…yeeks

J.L.O · July 30, 2021, 4:54pm

Look, ever since I read a PAID novelist who put Turgid Nipples in their romance, I’ve realized that people are too hard on themselves.

Lol
