After trudging up the stairs of Update’s apartment, I’m met with a note on his front door:
Can’t wait for you to see what I’ve done to the place, it read.

As I turn the door handle of the door, I notice the walls are painted a vibrant white. In the living room, I see some new furniture accents—all in an energetic, punchy orange— and an excited Update standing in the middle of the room.

“Do you like it?” Update bursts. “Before… my paint colors, the decor, it was great for a while… but it was time for a change.”

As walk from room to room, The old, faded orange walls, warm and welcoming as they once were, look even better with a fresh coat of paint. Update’s old couches, well-loved and worn-in are now dotted with bright orange throw pillows, a welcome addition.

“It’s everything I loved about your place before, but with some modern touches,” I reply, impressed with his eye for decor.

“That’s exactly what I was going for, Notesy. I was inspired by the new brand Wattpad is rolling out. Check it out,” Update says as he hands me his phone and shows me the app.

“Ooh la la! The new colors are captivating—it really shows off the breadth of stories! It looks like they updated their logo too. I like it. It’s still Wattpad but with a more energized, fresh feel,” I comment as I scroll through.

Update, aware the app is getting more attention than his interior design work, grabs the phone back. “Yep, it’s still the same Wattpad we know and love but with a new logo, color interface, and tagline: Where Stories Live. Significant changes to reflect the diverse and inclusive universe Wattpad has created over the last 13 years”. His passion is adorable.

“And what do the changes in here reflect, Update?” I playfully ask. He shoots me his famous side smirk and suddenly lifts his arms in the air:

Clap! Clap!

The apartment lights go out and we are left laughing together in the moonlit window.

The rain poured down like a watering can on the city. While Update shuffled to the kitchen to make coffee, I lay in bed cocooned in the sleepy warmth of the covers. Out the window the fog descended over the skyscrapers, erasing the tallest levels from view. With my eyes glued to the scene unraveling in front of me, Update walked in with two mugs.
“Earth to Notes,” he mused, wafting the scent of fresh coffee under my face.

“Sorry hun, I got swept away with the moody cityscape,” I explain, snapping myself back into reality. In a chuckle, I add, “It’s almost like it was built by design.”

“Or perhaps it was built by Desygner, a new cover creating app,” Update beamed. “It’s a more sophisticated app for writers to visualize and share their works. There are templates to suit any genre, tons of free images, and easy customization. This will take stories to the next level.”

I threw the covers off and sat up to grab the steaming mug. I took a long sip of the life-giving brew and asked Update the obvious question, “Can you share and upload straight to Wattpad?”

“Can you ever!” he exclaimed, almost making me choke on my coffee. “And not only that, but you can go back and edit it at any time. You can even use your own images,” he said, nodding at the window scene I was so enamored by, “so start writing that gritty city thriller, Notesy.”

“Oh Update, you know I’m not much of a wordsmith,” I blushed.

Update put his coffee cup down and turned to me, “Maybe not, but that face is worth a thousand words,” he whispered as he drew his arm up to my rosy cheek.

The rain poured down like a watering can on the city. While Update shuffled to the kitchen to make coffee, I lay in bed cocooned in the sleepy warmth of the covers. Out the window the fog descended over the skyscrapers, erasing the tallest levels from view. With my eyes glued to the scene unraveling in front of me, Update walked in with two mugs.
“Earth to Notes,” he mused, wafting the scent of fresh coffee under my face.

“Sorry hun, I got swept away with the moody cityscape,” I explain, snapping myself back into reality. In a chuckle, I add, “It’s almost like it was built by design.”

“Or perhaps it was built by Desygner, a new cover creating app,” Update beamed. “It’s a more sophisticated app for writers to visualize and share their works. There are templates to suit any genre, tons of free images, and easy customization. This will take stories to the next level.”

I threw the covers off and sat up to grab the steaming mug. I took a long sip of the life-giving brew and asked Update the obvious question, “Can you share and upload straight to Wattpad?”

“Can you ever!” he exclaimed, almost making me choke on my coffee. “And not only that, but you can go back and edit it at any time. You can even use your own images,” he said, nodding at the window scene I was so enamored by, “so start writing that gritty city thriller, Notesy.”

“Oh Update, you know I’m not much of a wordsmith,” I blushed.

Update put his coffee cup down and turned to me, “Maybe not, but that face is worth a thousand words,” he whispered as he drew his arm up to my rosy cheek.

December 5, 2018 When our eyes adjust to the brightness, we realize it’s a pair of headlights in our view. Update approaches the lights to get a better look, but as he does the car screeches off and leaves us reeling in its dust.
“Who was that,” I start, waiting for the debris to settle.
Update puts his hands on his hips and finishes my thought, “and what were they doing parked in the middle of the road?”
As the mysterious circumstances wash over us, a dusty flyer lands on Update’s loafer. He picks it up, reads it, and walks over to show me:
International Film Festival showcasing directors from the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Mexico, and the Philippines.

The gears in his head start to turn. “Not a bad idea,” Update says with a look of excitement. “Wattpad users have been asking for a way to support writers’ careers for a while now. Maybe it’s time to test out those waters”.

“Sounds great, but how exactly would the readers help fund writer’s careers?” I ask.

“Well, just like this film festival, we could have selected stories that audiences can pay to read. They could unlock a story chapter by chapter.” he says.

“Or,” I add, “they can choose to purchase the whole story to binge all at once.”

Update nods in delighted agreement.

“And we could use some sort of virtual currency. It’s all the 'rage' I hear,” he says, quoting the air like it’s going out of style.

I quietly giggle at Update’s attempt at being hip and with it. Somehow it only makes me swoon deeper for him. He puts his arm around my shoulders, “Virtual currency, what a time to be alive.”

“So where are you going to test this brilliant idea?” I ask, taking the flyer out of the warm hand resting on my shoulder.

He waits a beat and then points at the flyer, “If this isn’t a sign then I don’t know what is,” he smirks. “The United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Mexico, and the Philippines, get ready for what’s Next.

Startled by a noise in the bushes, I pull closer to Update.

“Update, I’m scared…” I find comfort in Update’s solid, dependable embrace.

“Do you want me to walk you home?” Update asks.

I hesitate, pulling away, “I would...but sometimes home is unreliable…”

Update nods knowingly, “Just like Wattpad homepage used to be. But now the homepage loads with no problem,” Update looks deep into my eyes and I can see myself reflected in their depths, “Just like our home will be, one day…”

We stand there, lost in the enjoyable dream of a possible future together, when the moment is broken by a large, bumbling raccoon bursting out of the bush beside us.

It looks up at us with beady, accusatory eyes, as though we were interrupting its moment, then scurries away.

Update and I share a laugh, but then I frown.

“What was I saying? I’ve lost my place in our conversation. I guess we need to start at the beginning again…”

Update shoots me a sly grin, “Not at all. I know that used to happen sometimes, both in life AND in Wattpad stories, but now your reading position is saved and doesn’t boot you back to the start of a chapter...just like I saved our place in the conversation. We were talking about - “

But before Update can finish, there is a bright light that draws both of our attention to the horizon…

“Wait, is that…?!”

Update and I share a laugh, but then I frown.

“What was I saying? I’ve lost my place in our conversation. I guess we need to start at the beginning again…”

Update shoots me a sly grin, “Not at all. I know that used to happen sometimes, both in life AND in Wattpad stories, but now your reading position is saved and doesn’t boot you back to the start of a chapter...just like I saved our place in the conversation. We were talking about - “

But before Update can finish, there is a bright light that draws both of our attention to the horizon…

“Wait, is that…?!”

October 11, 2018 When our eyes adjust to the brightness, we realize it’s a pair of headlights in our view. Update approaches the lights to get a better look, but as he does the car screeches off and leaves us reeling in it’s dust.
“Who was that,” I start, waiting for the debris to settle.
Update puts his hands on his hips and finishes my thought, “and what were they doing parked in the middle of the road?”.
As the mysterious circumstances wash over us, a dusty flyer lands on Update’s loafer. He picks it up, reads it, and walks over to show me:
International Film Festival showcasing directors from Canada, the United Kingdom, Mexico, and the Philippines

The gears in his head start to turn. “Not a bad idea,” Update says with a look of excitement. “Wattpad users have been asking for a way to support writers’ careers for a while now. Maybe it’s time to test out those waters”.

“Sounds great, but how exactly would the readers help fund writer’s careers?” I ask.

“Well, just like this film festival, we could have selected stories that audiences can pay to experience. They could unlock a story chapter by chapter,” he says.

“Or,” I add, “they can choose to purchase the whole story to binge all at once”.

Update nods in delighted agreement.

“And we could use some sort of virtual currency. It’s all the rage I hear,” he says, quoting the air like it’s going out of style.

I quietly giggle Update’s attempt at being hip and with it. Somehow it only makes me swoon deeper for him. He puts his arm around my shoulders, “Virtual currency, what a time to be alive.”

“So where are you going to test this brilliant idea,” I ask, taking the flyer out of the warm hand resting on my shoulder.

He waits a beat and then points at the flyer, “if this isn’t a sign then I don’t know what is,” he smirks. “Canada, the United Kingdom, Mexico, and the Philippines, get ready for what’s Next.

Startled by a noise in the bushes, I pull closer to Update.

“Update, I’m scared…” I find comfort in Update’s solid, dependable embrace.

“Do you want me to walk you home?” Update asks.

I hesitate, pulling away, “I would...but sometimes home is unreliable…”

Update nods knowingly, “Just like Wattpad homepage used to be. But now the homepage loads with no problem,” Update looks deep into my eyes and I can see myself reflected in their depths, “Just like our home will be, one day…”

September 13, 2018 Leaving the movie theatre, Update and I decide to take the scenic route home and walk. Hand in hand, my head resting on Update’s shoulder through the near-empty streets, I know moments don’t get much better than this. Then, Update tells me to look up.

The blackness above us is freckled with glimmering stars as far as the eye can see.

Amazed, I stop in my tracks, “Wow, I can’t remember seeing the sky so lit up”.

“Isn’t that something,” Update says with an pure awe in his voice, “all those dots lighting up, from multiple galaxies,” he pauses. “Reminds me of how with the new tag rankings feature, Wattpad stories can now appear on multiple hot lists”.

In a star-lit trance, I respond, “More skies for those stories to shine in”. Just then, a shooting star appeared right over our heads like a fiery paint stroke.

“Did you see that?” Update asked with the excitement of a child. “Did you make a wish?”.

With a smirk on my face I whisper, “You bet I did, but it’s a little too 18+ to say on these streets, if you catch my drift,” I turned to him and winked.

Trying to regain his composure, Update clears his throat and coyly remarks, “Well, my dear, mature stories can now rank on Wattpad, so don’t be so shy about letting me know your wish.” Composure found.

I playfully remove Update’s tweed hat and place it on my head, “Now now, you know what happens when you say a wish out lo—“.

Suddenly in the bushes to our left, a loud rumbling…
