What is Wattpad, by the way, when it's at home? Or, I guess, more importantly--how does that rate a mention and AO3 doesn't? Which fandoms hang out there?
Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

Because books.
I've never heard of Wattpad.
I do love how the WSJ loves to cover stories that are old as the hills, and come off pleased as punch that they've "discovered a new trend".

Oh, man. I just checked the fanfic link on Wattpad, and it seems to be primarily het One Direction RPF. Which? Of course it exists. I just had no idea where it lived.

Always Anti-fascist!
Even his whines are better than mine. But I did make deadline while literally peeing once.

an overblown libretto and a sumptuous score/ could never contain the contradictions I adore
I was wondering, is anyone here an SFWA member? I've just found out that I qualify-- apparently they added Daily Science Fiction as a qualifying market sometime since I last checked. So now I *can* join, but I'm not really clear on whether I *should*.
