Prisimpad: A Guide to Wattpad, Writing, and Whatever by Prisim
62 parts Complete
I will no longer be updating this guide. I'm leaving it up in case it will continue to be helpful to anyone in the future. People have asked me writing tips, Wattpad tips, and whatever. This is some of that advice I give them. Keep in mind most of this is my opinion in addition to things other people have taught me to do and not to do. It is by no means 100% to be followed but only a guide to get you thinking. The beauty of writing is that there is no one correct answer. We each learn and adapt to our own personal styles.

12 Steps to Not Fall in Love on Wattpad by iFantasy
32 parts Complete Mature
Dear Diary, There are 12 ways to not fall in love on Wattpad. First, don't read too much into someone's comments-flirting is basically a sport there. Second, if you start catching feelings, log out immediately. Third, remind yourself that love is messy, unpredictable, and never worth the risk. I made these rules for a reason. This year, I swore I wouldn't get attached. No crushes, no overthinking, no swooning over someone who lives thousands of miles away. Because love? Love means letting someone see everything; the flaws, the insecurities, the parts of me I'd rather pretend aren't there. And I am not ready for that. So, I follow my rules. I play it safe. At least, that was the plan. Until she showed up. Funny, frustrating, impossible to ignore. I thought I was safe behind a screen. I thought I had it all under control. But rule #12? Cupid on Wattpad doesn't care about your rules.
Book of Contests (2024) by SeraDrake
181 parts Complete
To keep myself from losing track of: all the contests I've entered, all the contests I've volunteered myself as a judge (or let myself be voluntold into judging), all the books I've had to read as a contestant or as a judge, all the deadlines, and all the other important stuff, I've decided to create a book that registers all these things in a somewhat organized fashion. I can't remember who advised me to do that, but whoever you are, and there are probably several of you, thank you. I've been reading that it's extremely common for contests to be a bit sluggish with follow-up if a person wins a major prize and gets graphics and shout-outs, so I'll use this book to keep track of that, too. I had no idea so many people would be adding my personal convenience book to their own bookshelves, let alone voting for chapters - if my book of contests is useful to other people, that makes me happy. Very happy. However, I feel I must reiterate that although other people are welcome to browse my public contest logs and look for contests, look for information about details of contests (i.e. you want me to pour you some tea), etc, these contest logs are primarily for my own use. I enter so many contests that I can't keep track of them without a log. I forget important details, too, including things like "Note to self: You do not get along with this contest host, best not participate in their contests." This was never meant to be an "expose" book. I'm not exposing anybody. Contests are matters of public record, as are any comments made in the contest books. I'm just a ditz who needs a written log to keep track of everything. I would lose my head if it wasn't attached to my shoulders. I DO NOT CONSENT TO MY POETRY AND PROSE BEING USED TO TRAIN ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
