Wattpad is a great place. It's a place where writers of all kinds can come together and share their work. (Albeit, a lot of that work consists of One Direction fan fictions, but there's nothing wrong with that. Back in the day, I used to write Jonas Brothers fan fictions. Though, I was 12 years old then and now I just hang my head in shame of my poor writing skills and lack of imaginative storylines. Hopefully most are better than mine were then). On Wattpad, members love making covers for the writings of other members. I had no cover for my short story,
Almost Immortal, so I decided to give it a go. There are several clubs on Wattpad - one of which the Multimedia and Design Club - so I posted about my need for a cover there. The payment? Anyone who sends me a cover gets a follow from me, I check out their work, and I post their cover on my Blogger regardless. If it's chosen, they get a chapter dedicated to them. When I posted this, I had no idea how quick the response would be. I also had no idea how many posts this message board gets on a daily basis. Within an hour, there were so many posts on top of mine the only way it could stay afloat was the constant conversation between me and another member! In the end, a member named Z_L_Cole responded to my post with a lovely cover. Here it is, folks!

I really love the idea of virtual community being brought to life on Wattpad. What a great way for artists to gather together in support of each other! As promised, I will post each cover I receive to this blogger both now and for future stories. TTFN! And remember to check out the short story, Almost Immortal, on Wattpad! Links to my Wattpad and the story are in the tabs on the top of the page.
