In the last few days we have seen very a well loved author leave this community. Days that follow we see another 2. I’m afraid there are more to follow. We as a community need to band together and fight. I would really hate to see this app to disappear but it seems that way, very slowly. Today I’m asking for anyone out there to speak out and fight for this community that is worth saving. Throughout the years we have seen, so many different eras of writing, from tropes to concepts, ideas even. It’s really hard seeing and imagining what’s in store for this community if more of these strict guidelines and regulations come to follow. I believe that if episode transitions towards a more mature angle, and gives authors more free will in terms of their writing, plus better wages and benefits for the authors. Their stories will be 10000xxx better than they already are. Honestly I don’t think many popular authors enjoy the app anymore, considering the fact many of them mentioned leaving in the past. I don’t blame them either, the way this team treats their authors isn’t okay. Many of the hard working community authors deserves the same treatments, if not more, compared to the higher-up commissioned authors who’s officials are pretty messed up. Officials are the same, like community stories, and that’s the truth. Community stories help and give enjoyment to the readers compared to officials. Let’s be honest officials are solely used for gems and gems only, no one actually really reads them. (Not me anyways)
All I’m asking here is for the community to support the many authors who spend hours upon hours trying to give us the best content possible. The authors who used their time to create these stories and give us an opportunity to see what goes through their heads. The authors who APOLOGIES to us when they don’t get an episode out on time. LETS BE HONEST, episode should do more of the following things
Yes I’m about to used BIG LETTERS🤭 (ideas)
-HAVING WEEKLY/MONTHY VIDEO CALLS MESSAGES WITH AUTHORS TO GET FEEDBACK, AND HEAR THEIR IDEAS ON HOW TO MAKE THE APP BETTER.
-GIVE THE AUTHORS MORE FREEWILL TO EXPLORE THEIR CRAFT AND TO MAKE CONTENT MORE RATED-R TERRITORY OR CUT BACK THE AGGRESSIVE GUIDELINES AND I BET THAT WILL BRING IN MORE OF A CROWD
-DONT BRUSH OFF THE AUTHORS, AND LISTEN TO THEM
ADVICE:
LISTEN TO YOUR COMMUNITY, LISTEN TO THEIR NEEDS, ESPECIALLY WHEN THEY CAN DRIVE IN MORE OF A CROWD OF YOUNG ADULTS WITH THEIR IDEAS, BETTER WAGES!!! YEA YOU HAVE COMPANY WORKERS, BUT THE TRUE HEART OF THE APP RELIES ON THE AUTHORS WHO DESERVE MORE THAN YOU GIVE THEM
SIDENOTE: GIVE THE AUTHORS WHAT THEY NEED, BETTER PAY AND BENEFITS. I BET IF YOU LISTEN AND HELP THEM, EVERYTHING WILL WORK OUT FOR BOTH SIDES😑
PLEASE ADVOCATE FOR OUR AUTHORS🙏🏽
