So I was looking around for internships, when I came across the one above (pictured). 

Basically the (idiot) 'author' is saying: "WORK FREE FOR ME, DOOOO ITTTTTTT. PS -THIZ IZ AN INTERNSHIP! LYK OMGZ!"

Uh, no. This ain't no damn internship. Internship is where you work under a PROFESSIONAL of the major you are studying and actually get to learn something, and not be given a freelance job (like this one) withOUT any pay. That's a freaking scam.

I reported this shiet as a scam, too.

This is what I was talking about in my last chapter. Where authors just takes advantage of young designers who doesn't know any better and think its "okay" because "lky omg, you get a freaking credit on ma cover!!!" 

This is even worse, this so called asshole of an author tries to hide the fact its an actual job and tries to pass it off as an internship so HE can get a free book cover without paying. He isn't even a DAMN GRAPHIC DESIGNER. 

"Make the impossible...possible!.."

I will make the impossible, possible by shoving a barb wire up your  _ _ _ !!!

So, ladies and gentleman.. for the love of everything you hold desire and dream about, please do not fall for these 'internships' or the authors in wattpad who wants you to make them a 'professional' cover. Be also aware of other design jobs in wattpad too. I saw some few wattpaders asking in the MDC about "making a poster" for their school play. That's also a JOB which you should get paid for. Every time you see someone who has the potential to make profit, that means you should not work for free. Why would you let them make money while you do not? Do you not value your time and effort?

Finally, if you come across something  that looks even sightly shady - go with your gut! If you want a 2nd opinion ASK SOMEONE! Hell, ask me! I'm always open to squash these kinds of scams. 

Have you ever saw something like this? Or experienced it?
