r/WattpadIndia

I'm rarely online in here,but whenever I am,I see screenshots of posts and comments from authors who justify unproblematic and unrealistic tropes. Why don't we sensible girlies take an action against them in social media where they're active? Why can't we do this,instead of sharing screenshots??

less be real are there no real good indian writers on wattpad
i want sweet realistic story not 20 yrs age gap and mafia mml with the most innocent FL.
or i want smth with a rather cute fl with a cute ml yk what i am signaling to>

Tell me the most cringey nickname you've ever read and also the most meaningful one.

Also, one more thing the nicknames or nameplay that happens during *those steamy* chapters where the broody MMC goes calling FMC wh*re and sl*t, that makes me turn the page.

I can't stand such scenes.

We are planning two major changes in the Wattpad India sub and we would love your thoughts before we finalize them.

First, we are introducing a biweekly thread for writers*.This space is meant for writers to talk about the issues they are facing, share achievements, discuss their growth, and talk about any criticism they have received or are dealing with. Anyone can comment, but the focus of this thread is to help writers connect with each other and build a community. The exact dates and timing are still under discussion.

In this writers thread, we are also considering allowing people from other writing platforms to participate and interact. This will be limited only to the thread. Reviews, promotions, or book suggestions from other platforms will not be allowed in the main sub.

Second, we are planning a dedicated thread to discuss problematic tropes, AI content, and what is happening on Wattpad. AI content is increasing rapidly, and while there may not always be a point in repeating the same discussions, we understand that many of you still want a space for it. Instead of multiple posts, this will be moved to a single thread, most likely monthly, but the frequency is still under discussion.

We are also making some moderation changes. The ban on SK Wookie and discussions around her works is being removed.The restriction on using usernames is also being removed. However, moderation will be strict in the beginning. Any personal attacks or dragging of authors will result in a 7 day ban. Even if something happened outside this sub, we expect everyone to maintain basic decency and maturity here.

With usernames being allowed, please understand the responsibility that comes with it. Do not use this to send hate or harass others. If you choose to mention usernames, you are also responsible for any consequences that may come from it. We have already said this many times and we expect members to take it seriously.

Another important note: We are not responsible for anything that happens outside this subreddit. But if anything from outside comes into the sub and causes problems, we will take strict action here.

If you have any suggestions or questions, feel free to share them here or reach out through Modmail. We want your input before we finalize these changes. Once everything is implemented, it will be mostly automoderated and we will not be addressing complaints unless they are sent through Modmail.

Also, our Summer Contest is currently ongoing. Please participate and help spread the word. Let’s keep the sub active and engaging.

Thank you for your support!

like the title says, is anyone open to this, please drop the link, i don't care about number of chapters or tropes because I am really slow reader so I will just vote anyway and for the follow and subscribe it just have to be book related content on or off Wattpad doesn't matter.

now this is not a Wattpad issue but in general in the reading community. Straight people love to consume homosexual content which is totally okay but when they start fetishizing then it becomes a problem. Especially when they start hating a different part of the community in homosexual content area. For example Yuri like i have seen so many girls loving bl but then goes around hating gl like whyyy. You don't have any right to hate on anyone who reads gl. I am someone who doesn't read gl but that doesn't mean I will go around hating on others for reading. We need to start respecting others personal opinions.

Btw stan straight, gl, bl

Hi, I'm in a bit of a pickle.

I'm getting little to no views on my book, there's just one reader who reads and then votes too, bhagwan unhe meri book last tak padhne ki motivation de 🤞😂

So then, I think of making reels but ideas hi nahi aate mujhe 😭

Phir sochti hu ki reel ka idea sochne mein and then relevant pics from Pinterest dhundhne mein time jayega and right now I should just focus on my story and next chapter ka plot soch leti hu.

But next chapter ka sochne mein or plotline banane mein mujhe previous chapter ke liye better dialogue and things yaad aa jaate hai, then I go back and edit them.

Toh iss tarah se na new chapter likhe ja rahe hai mujhse or na hi promotional reel banayi ja rahi hai, kuch bhi nahi ho pa raha hai 😭

Thoda maargdarshan karein mere fellow redditors 🥹

I've total 6 series in my mind . All contains 4-7 books/couples . Theme of each series is either revenge , second chance , slice of life etc .

From last year oct to this year march I've Thought about these books . I see different tropes on reels or whatever and if I like that I wanna write my own story on that trope someday. That's how I ended up these many half cooked stories.

But it's not physically possible to write these many books right ? That too not overlapping one characteristics to others.

What wrong I'm doing ? I've seen other authors just focusing on one series containing 2-4 books/couples .

Yes the title does sound sus and there is a perfectly good reason for that.

so recently I saw a post about a fic where the girl's husband's secret identity is the Canada Prime minister and I saw many saying these secret identity tropes were getting tiring and there was one comment I saw that resonated with me.

" Arreeyyy, just imagine: a young police constable goes undercover as doodhwala to gather information. But he starts loving his doodhwala job too much. So, he continues it even after the case is solved. Then, his "replaced, arranged, forced, unwanted wife" starts seeing him leaving the house at odd hours, thinks he is having an affair or involved illegal shit, follows him one early morning only to find him delivering milk. She falls for his humility in keeping this up for the sake of his customers, his passion for milk delivering and how hard he works to manage very demanding jobs."

So I'm just wondering would you guys like to read it ? like I'm 75% thinking of writing it. it would be like a parody to these secret identity fics.

the vibe will be this

“Is the shipment ready?” Arjun asked calmly not bothered by the call at midnight.(He’s asking the local dairy if the buffaloes are milked).

Radhika: It's definitely somthing illegal!

....

He comes home with a bruise on his arm.

Radhika: A bullet graze! He was in a shootout!

Arjun: That damn Lakshmi, has a mean kick. I told the boy the fodder was too dry.

....

Radhika finds a secret ledger with numbers and criptic letter

Radhika: I found the hit list. 302, 405, 108... these must be the house numbers of his next targets. He’s an assassin!

Arjun: Mrs. Pillai in 302 wants 2 Liters today. The bachelor in 405 only wants Skimmed. I need to collect the balance from 108.

......

Radhika finally Confronts Arjun

Radhika: I know where you go, Arjun! I saw the white stains on your shirt! I know about the 'delivery' at the Minister's house!

Arjun: Radhika... you weren't supposed to find out. The Minister... he’s a very demanding client.

Radhika: I-Is it... drugs? W-Weapons?"

Arjun: No. He likes the A2 Cow Milk. If I’m late, the tea isn't the same. I have a reputation to uphold, Radhika. I am the best milkman in the city.

......

So do you guys want to read ?

Please drop your thoughts.

These are some things I absolutely despise in books and this is my opinion if you enjoy any of it good 4 u idc.

firstly I freaking HATE age gap relationships with every cell in my body. It's just so icky and disgusting like what do you mean a 19 year old girl is forcefully getting married to a 39 year old dude who has probably more grey hair than she has her degree. istg just like so uncomfortable and and same for the older women and younger men like I am here to read love story not a guide on how to mother a grown ass guy.

and I also hate FMC in books when they are so stupid and dumb and always act like 12 year old childish at her big age of 21 like bro you so embarrassing stop it and act like a women 😭 and for MMC it's like when they of think of themselves like they are some kind of superior being and act all rude and nonchalant like bro shut yo bitch ass up your not tuff and you especially not cool by acting like a bitch.
