Q: Hey there(: well I love writing stories in wattpad, in which I hardly get any readers. Well I got this really good idea for a story and well I posted it on wattpad the first chapter, and I only 3 reads! And I did what a lot of people said, I fanned a lot of people and subscribed to clubs and posted to the clubs about my story! But still only three reads so far! I know it's only one chapter but I see Tons of books that have millions am I don't see how!? Please help!!! And let me know ways how and why I'm not! Most importantly how too!(: and if you would Ike to read it just ask me too haha(: thanks!!(;
Yo! I'm from Wattpad too! I know it's hard, trust me. I posted three stories when I first joined last year and no one read them. I didn't get any reads on one of them and the other reason people peeked at my other one was because it was a Vampire Diaries fanfiction, so I deleted them and decided to do a little research.

On Wattpad, they have a "what's hot list", ya know? Take a look there and try writing something that's uber popular now. I think Vampires and Werewolves are the in thing now. Even if you don't particularly want to, just write it and suck the readers in before posting one of your really good stories that you enjoy writing. It'll start dragging people in. This is how I got my 1500+ fans on Wattpad. Start with a popular genre, then post your favorite genre. It took me about a year to get that many fans with at least triple the votes, so you have to be patient, but don't worry! In time, people will start to flood in and adore your writing :) And if you'd like, I'd be happy to read your story! People browse my library all the time!

Also! It is very important to remember proper grammar and spelling. People won't read your story if you have no puncutation marks or overuse the word "said". Try not to use the same word over and over again. Use a thesaurus to find a word with the same meaning! Good luck!

Thank you so much! I never really knew and looked at the whats hot list! I will now though and take your advice(: Thanks again! and I would love for you to read my new story I am wroking on now just type in a different type of love story, then click enter and it should be by iluvelijah14 which is me(: I would love if you would fan so I can read and look at your stuff too and leave a comment if you can

Hi hi hi! Call me Tsukuyomi. I'm an avid writer and reader with a peculiar taste in books and music. I love gay and supernatural books, such as the Archangel Academy series (which has both of those lovely genres!). I enjoy K-Pop and J-Pop music as well as the old time rock and roll. I'm really into researching mythology and religion. I'm open-minded and optimistic with a bit of sarcasm on the side, but I don't bite!
