Unneccesarily Drawn Out And Convoluted Storytelling On My Part Tbh - Tumblr Posts

last november I was procrastinating and was like haha. I'm gonna download the wattpad app and see if my account still exists. and it did and I got to look at the fics I had on my bookshelf and see how incredibly low my standards were way back when.

but the fun and games have been over for ages and for whatever reason, I still have the app.

and it's horrible.

why?

because it sends me notifications.

like this.

which has very high potential for mortification.

now, fortunately, no one has ever seen one of these, since I do my best to hide and get rid of them as soon as possible, but I don't want the notifications and I don't need the app.

so I went to uninstall it.

on my phone, I can long press on an app widget to bring up options for it, which can include things like the uninstall button and suggestions for things I might want to open/do on the app, which I can use as shortcuts to do those things.

here is an example that does not use wattpad because I am not putting 7th grade me on blast like that. rather than clock functions, wattpad suggests stories I've been reading.

and so I go up delete it and the suggestions pop up and lo and behold, there is that one fic I remembered when I pulled this all out last november, but which wasn't on my bookshelf.

it wasn't good. I didn't even remember it being very good, and that's saying something, because I remember some stuff on there as way better than it was. heck, I've never been in the fandom it was written for, either. not even pseudo-in-the-fandom through engagement with fanwork. I wasn't then and I haven't been since.

but I had to reread it.

and it still wasn't good or in a fandom I care about, but I did see evidence of The Froyo Era and those wattpad author tag games, and what a blast to the past, right?
