Victorious Launches Mobile App With One Direction Fanfiction Empress Anna Todd

Anna Todd, the Waffle House waitress-turned-Wattpad sensation, is continuing to break down the longstanding barriers between writers and readers with a brand new app created in conjunction with Victorious.

Todd shot to fame as the author of After, a One Direction fan fiction novel about a young girl who falls in love with her college classmate, Hardin (a reimagining of Harry Styles who is “rude — to the point of cruelty.”) The work garnered 1 billion views on Wattpad, was purchased by Simon & Schuster and will be made into a movie by Paramount.

Today, Todd is expanding her empire with the launch of her very own Victorious app. Though the company has already developed apps for a slew of digital influencers including Ryan Higa

, The Young Turks, Lilly Singh, gaming MCN Machinima and Vine star Lele Pons, this is the first time that it is expanding outside the online video realm.

“This is a meaningful milestone for Victorious as we continue to expand our platform to creators from mediums beyond online video,” said Victorious Founder and CEO Sam Rogoway in a statement.

Available on both iOS and Android, Todd’s app will enable fans to collaborate on cover art, future character names and ideas for upcoming books, according to a press release. Additionally, Todd will serve as a mentor of sorts, offering tips on digital storytelling and long-form self-publishing as well as “other writing workshops.”

Santa Monica, Calif.,-based Victorious today operates in 12 international markets and its fleet of apps have generated hundreds of millions of views.
