UPDATE on "Stitches": So I have a few suspicions on what happened to that book. Some of them were confirmed, and yes, it was removed by Wattpad. I was told that it "may have been removed due to a policy violation," which I kinda don't understand because I don't think it violated anything (I even placed a warning at the beginning of that book, and, note, there are books with worse content than mine).
It's a bit suspicious to me because this book has existed for 2 years and only now did Wattpad decide to remove it (after I came back online, may I add). The lack of an email or even a DM from Wattpad, when Wattpad DM-ed me once to say that they removed a picture from one my books, doesn't sit well with me either. I'm not saying it's Wattpad's fault, though, because they have to sift through millions of books, so it's unlikely they just decided to target a small content creator like me. But it should've been handle better because I don't think any creator wants to know from one of their readers first that something happened to their books and not knowing the cause of that, and I don't think they want to submit a ticket only to be replied with, "oh, it may have been removed," too.
I won't try to republish "Stitches" because it might just get taken down again, with how whack the new system is. It's also very tiring to do because I would have to revise all of the drafts I have again, and there were over 100 chapters in that book--I don't have time for that. There was also someone who asked for, like, a Google Docs of the drafts a week ago, but I cannot give you guys those drafts for privacy and copyright reasons. Unfortunately, I think I'll have to remove "Nowhere", because it cannot stand alone without "Stitches" (it's lit the side book of "Stitches", lmao).
I'm sorry, guys. I know a lot of y'all loved "Stitches", but sadly, there's nothing I can do about the situation.
Thanks to those who read this until the end :')
