Serious question about wattpad?

1) Safe . . .? You won't catch herpes 2) I guess this is what you meant.

If you post your story in any public domain then you open yourself up to the possibility of having your story stolen (I really doubt anyone would go ahead and take your story. They might "borrow" elements from it - but that has happened to mostly every professional writer who has written a half decent story) 3) Simple maths. The majority of wattpad users are currently writing a god awful One Direction fanfic, so I'm going to go ahead and say the average age range is between 11 - 20.

I do know a lot of adults use this site, too. 4) I don't know. Wattpad is a bad idea.

It's one big popularity contest. The writers don't care about receiving in-depth responses / criticism otherwise they'd post their stories on a website that doesn't encourage readers to leave terse, unhelpful "this is good / bad" responses (and most of them only leave responses because they want the writer to read their own story). Find a serious work shop for writers or a forum for writers who want nothing more than to share their work and receive constructive criticism.

Check how serious they are by reading their rules / guideline. You will receive a lot more help and thank yourself for making this choice. If you stick with wattpad, years down the line you'll look back and probably realize that you haven't advanced far because you haven't been able to find out what people really think of your writing Edit - Your story IS too good for wattpad and I can say that without reading it.

I quite like "youngwriterssociety" - don't be fooled by the name. It might be a site for young writers but there are a lot of experts that will critique your story, both young and old. You're encouraged to leave reviews on other stories before posting your own work but you will find that with any serious writing website.

You will get back what you give out. You won't be disappointed. The mistakes you make will be highlighted and you will learn a lot of ways to improve your story Edit - Also 95 percent of the wattpad users who post questions on Y!

A either ask for a "catchy title" or help with their cover art - two of the least important elements of a story. Like I said, popularity contest. They just want readers.

Google writing websites / forums. There are loads of them. Find one you like the look of, dig around and see what they're about.

1) You won't get a virus from it, if that's what you're worried about. 2) If you post something on the internet, there's always a risk of it being stolen. But honestly, I don't think it happens that often with Wattpad, since mostly fanfictions are being posted there.

3) I would guess people in their tweens and teens. Adolescents, basically. 4) Dunno.

As the answer above me suggested, I think you should find a more serious site if you actually want to get an honest response about your writing and eventually improve it. If you're doing it mostly for fun/hobby/making friends, then sure, I don't see a problem with using it. Hope this helps.

:-).

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
