The call went out on July 22, 2018.
Wolves had begun to notice they were receiving
messages from an account they hadn't followed.
Through investigation,
it was found out that the account
they had followed @WattyWolves
"had been retired by its team."
That account of 15.4k
was rebranded Dark Fantasy,
and werewolf lovers were directed to WP's
werewolf account.
.
Being sadden by this
we reminisced.
We recounted our interaction with the old account
and the promise it held for our community.
We felt bad for those who had won awards,
created competition entries,
and we're now left adrft.
It was the stirring of emotions,
the rekindling trauma of a previous WP tragedy,
that inspired us, that made us realize...
the username was now available.
So yes, on a whim, we decided to scoop up
the beloved @WattyWolves username.
(12am July 23, 2018)

It seems our paths
had been leading to this all along.
With the experiences we've had
along the way and the connections strengthened,
we are going to put action
to what we've been talking about for a while...

We want this account to be a gathering space
for the WERE community.
For packs, lone wolves, shifters,
familiars, Skinwalkers, etc.
Were we see each other as a community
and not competitors.
Were the success of one, means the success of all,
the de-stigmatization of the genre.
Means readers get quality, quantity,
and access to WERE content.
.
Writers can only write so much a year,
so, in between books,
readers don't just quit reading,
they usually pick up books in the same genre.
WERE readers love WERE content.
We're addicts. And we'll find our fix
however which way we can.
Just like chocolate lovers
don't go home empty handed, just
because there are no Hersheys chocolate bars.
They drove to the store,
they're leaving with something.
Let's keep in mind that readers aren't
a resource to compete for,
but a resource we can share.
Spread around.
They're kinda slutty in the best way. 😉
.
And WERE readers, you sexy thangs,
we need you. You like it hot and heavy 24/7.
You want to read until were-cows come home?
Help writers promote.
Retweet, share on FB, Instagram,
checkout YouTube playlists,
and Pinterest, etc.
Leave constructive criticism
in the comments or in a PM.
Signup to be a beta reader.
Leave honest reviews on
Amazon and Goodreads.
Or just make a reading list,
and vote on each chapter.
When you can... buy a book or digital copy,
pay for chapters on an app.
Writers NEED you.
.
We all arrived at WP at different times,
for different reasons, from different countries,
at different ages, etc...
But we all love WERE content.
And through WP many of us have made
lifelong friendships, discovered skills
we never knew we had, or the ability to make
a writing dream a potential career.
Let's continue growing this community,
bringing each other up.
Every bit helps.
