This is exactly how he got the role playing Weird Al.

not far off, actually. al contacted him, and radcliffe said he was very pleased and flattered but uh...why him? and al said he'd seen radcliffe sing the elements song next to a confused rihanna on the graham norton show like 15 years ago and went "this guy gets it."

I understand feeling like the Wattpad thing isn’t a big deal if all you posted there was work you feel is silly and ridiculous now. But you did the work regardless and no one else should profit off of that. You may not ever want to see the work you posted on Wattpad again, but no one else deserves to profit from it just because Wattpad decided to cash in. Remove your stuff from the website, do a search for your content in case someone else posted it for you, and send them a goddamn takedown notice. This is a shitty thing to do to young writers, and if it’s not pushed back against, it will only get worse.

I feel like the worst part about this whole ViacomCBS/Paramount+ deal is that not only does it take ideas and stories from writers, most of whom are very young, but it also gets around any possible agreement and resulting guidelines with the various Writers Guilds (of America, of Canada, etc). Basically, they’re trying to get/use free labor and that is absolute fucking bullshit.

EXACTLY. The actual content does not matter. It’s both exploitation and a blatant attempt at forcing young writers to accept it. We need to fight this in every ugly form it pops up in.

Also if you’ve only posted it elsewhere, SEARCH for it on Wattpad regardless, as someone may have uploaded it for you. You might have to file a DMCA takedown, as Wattpad is notoriously reluctant to act otherwise, but it’s worth fighting this all the way through.
