Is Wattpad the best medium to tell stories online?
How could Wattpad be better?

  • yes in my opinion, I don’t really know any other mediums which allows you to read and write :joy:
  • maybe if they allowed people’s stories to be recognised more easier?
  • well I think that it’s unique in the sense that you can have videos from youtube, I don’t know if any other platforms do that too.

I don’t think so, I used it for about a week and then just lost interest completely. I really prefer Tapas

Maybe make it easier for writers to get noticed, have a better algorithm or something

Turn many stories into traditional books, that’s actually a positive point

No, honestly, I much prefer using either the forums SG section or Tapas now. (wink)
What about you, @unsungcheerio?

I’ve tried writing on Wattpad, but to be honest, I prefer visual storytelling much more.

Interesting. Aside from the visuals, what were your pros and cons?

Yeah Tapas is a much better platform than Wattpad, couldn’t even tell you why but I find it a lot better to use and read
And ofc your stories exist on there which makes it infinitely better :relieved:

Pros:

  • You can write your story directly on the site without having to upload it from anywhere else first.
  • You can upload and insert images to make it a little more visual.
  • No special coding knowledge is needed.

Cons:

  • It isn’t a visual platform.
  • It’s hard to find a good Wattpad community for writers, especially since my stories are very PG.
  • You can’t add footnotes. Since the story I wrote had a lot of words and expressions in Spanish, I wanted to add footnotes to explain them, but that option doesn’t exist.

This is very true of writing platforms like this, I do agree.

Oh, I didn’t think of that. That does suck.
