Where talentless
13-year-old girls (most often "directioners") can post their idiotic stories about two of the One Direction
boys in a gay romance.
These crappy, immature, illiterate nobodies proceed to write completely-predictable, unoriginal
garbage, and happen to get around 100,000 reads, 100,000 votes, and 100,000 comments about how amazing the stories are (I'm surprised their little brains can even tell the works apart, considering they're all the same). These comments consist of things like "omg ur SO talnted", "
oh wander wutll hapn necst", and "right MOAR!" (please don't).
And to beat it all, the very few half-decent writers on the
garbage site get about five reads if their story isn't about vampire-werewolf
love triangles or One Direction fanfiction. Way-to-go, Wattpad!
Random girl: OMG wattpad is so cool!
Me: Actually, it's crap. Get off there, before it rots your brain any farther.
Random girl reading book: I'm reading this new book called "Secret Wings"!
Me: What's happened so far?
Random girl:
Well, this girl Hailey has no mom. It says, "The only thing that could be called unusual in her life was that her mother had disappeared into thin
air not long after Hailey's birth." I can't IMAGINE what
will happen!
Me:
Well, taking from both the title and that cruddy "foreshadowing" you just gave me, the main character
will have something happen to her that reveals she is some mythical creature, go on some dumb quest to find her mother, and after a whole lot of
garbage, be reunited with her mother.
Random girl: Yeah, well I bet that doesn't happen!
-Ten minutes later-
Random girl: Oh my gosh! She's a
fairy!
-Twenty minutes later-
Random girl: Yes! She's found her mother!
Me: God,
help us.
To help you imagine Wattpad, this "story" is actually in second place for Fantasy.
