The answer is simple: No, I do not.

My reasons are also just as simple. I am a busy bee! I barely have time to update my own stories, manage my personal life, and read non-Wattpad books that I'm interested in. I don't have time to read your stories, I'm sorry.

I read stories that catch my eye and that genuinely interest me. That doesn't necessarily mean that yours doesn't, but when I get a reading request, I find myself being more critical of the work (especially if they ask for feedback or constructive criticism) than I would normally be, and I don't want to do that. I want to read for fun and not be on the lookout for what I like and don't like so I can report it back to someone.

Additionally, this way I'm not picking and choosing whose stories I am able to read. By saying no to everyone, I'm preventing myself from being potentially biased or showing "favoritism" to the people I say yes to.

In an ideal world, I would be able to read everyone's stories when they ask me to, but unfortunately, I'm a college student and therefore SUPER busy. It's nothing against the people who ask, I just don't have the time!
