Starting up in 2006, the site was meant to be for fan works AND original writing, plus some more, bringing people together to criticize and help other aspiring writers and exposing some talented writers to the spotlights. Nowadays it is filled to the brim with almost only fanfiction, with nearly no original work besides the ones you can see on the main page, and even then those aren’t very original either, using many common tropes(also known as a cliché) now associated with Wattpad writing. Wattpad started to really become more recognized as in 2009, the mobile application had been downloaded millions of times.

The site hasn’t gone to hell just yet, with a very active userbase and very friendly people if you know where to look. It currently, as of 2019, contains over 60 Million users and many stories still being published every day.
I publish my works on Wattpad. My first story hasn’t gotten much attention, but hopefully if I keep writing more chapters people will see it.

An online/app reading site, where 11 year old girls write pornographic Solangelo (Will Solace × Nico di Angelo (Heroes of Olympus)) fan fiction.

Totally clichéd. Everything is a repeat of another book.

But, it has me wrapped around its finger and begging for more.
I read fan fiction on Wattpad.
