I've been reviewing stories on Wattpad for a while now and, boy, has that been a journey. Your stories have made me gasp and squeal. Your stories have made me laugh and cry.
But, from time to time, your stories have made me cringe.
In commemoratio...
Sometimes, people ask me what it's like to be on Wattpad. (This is a lie. No one ever asks me this. Still, go with me here.)
I tell them that sometimes it can be really exciting! Especially when you're writing a book of writing tips, and you receive beautiful messages from talented people saying that it's helped them in some way. That's really heart-warming.
It is also extremely exciting seeing something like this:

Sorry, I literally just find this so ridiculously funny. Nothing screams Wattpad more than saying, "The top six books of the day includes DracoxHarry Potter fanfiction, regular smut, Minecraft Youtube smut, mafia stuff, and more mafia stuff. Oh, and a book of writing tips, too!
I love Wattpad.

The Alpha Werewolf. What exactly is it?
It's usually a story involving werewolves (no, duh), which has an alpha (someone give me an award).
The Alpha is usually the pack leader. The one who runs the pack, and is all-commanding, all-demanding, and all-powerful. He is usually a... well, there's a reason I just said he. He's usually a male, and the only time he loses his alpha status is if he breaks some sort of werewolf-bro code, or if he is defeated in a fight.
