Happy Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) Heritage Month!
AAPI is observed from May 1st to May 31st every year, but can, and should, be recognized past the month of May. We encourage you to take some time to learn more about important figures who have contributed to the Asian & Pacific Islander community, as well as to review our specially curated reading list dedicated to highlighting AAPI voices in the Wattpad community. To celebrate and rejoice with the AAPI community on Wattpad, we bring to you a contest inspired by AAPI culture, mythology, and traditions.

"𝙏𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙛𝙖𝙘𝙚. 𝙏𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙜𝙤𝙙𝙙𝙖𝙢𝙣𝙚𝙙 𝙛𝙖𝙘𝙚." ------- Vegas. What could go wrong? Party. Music. Dopamine and that undeniable attraction between two strangers. Both of them agreed to keep it casual as they enjoyed each others company, even if it was just for 12 hours. But when Meher Arora and Aarav Rathore eventually meet 8 months later, it is not as friends but as rivals from two famous companies with a long history of competition in the cutthroat industry. Everything crumbles into pieces when they find out that they are obliged to get married since their ancestors have signed a contract. As they continue their futile attempts to escape their unwanted matrimony, they can't deny the sparks that fly among them. How long can they turn a blind eye to that magnetic pull present between them to this day? Can they overcome their differences and find love in the midst of chaos? Or will they let their pride and prejudice ruin their chances of happiness? [Mature content ahead. Minors do not interact.]

The Standouts - A Critique Contest by PAULAPDX (Summer 2019 Edition)
🛑 - CLOSED until 2021. ***If you're interested in my critiques, you might want to check out my weekly newsletter for opportunities to get a personalized critique. https://paula.substack.com/p/coming-soon Does your work stand out in an overly-crowded landscape? Does your story & writing shine as far as: ★ - Concept ★ - Voice ★ - Storytelling The Standouts is a fun, but hopefully helpful contest that can give you a sense of whether your story resonates with someone who's got some experience under her belt. Great! But who are you to judge? Fair question. This is not to humble-brag, but I've been critiquing and have worked with story development for quite some time, and I've picked up a lot along the way. ☙ - As an Ambassador, I work on content projects. ☙ - If you look at my profile, you'll see everything I've published so far has managed to standout in one way or another, whether by leading me to become a Wattpad Star; or by winning a Watty (twice!); or by being picked as a Top 10 in major Wattpad contests (twice!); or being featured. All I'm saying is I'm no slouch. I'm not brilliant either. But I've got some experience around what can catch an agent, editor, or judge's eye, and I'd like to share that with the community. ☙ - In another lifetime, I used to work for HBO in Development and at ICM (the talent agency) in their writers' department which means I understand how professionals quickly gauge whether or not they'll take a closer look at a work and/or make an offer. This kind of insight can be helpful if you're planning to submit your work or even just want to stand out more here on Wattpad. ☙ - I used to provide critiques for three writers, all of them traditionally published. They seemed to value my insight. Read the RULES, LOGISTICS & PRIZES chapter for guidelines. All entries get a brief assessment of their first chapter, with winners getting more extensive critiques. Sound interesting? Give it a go! 😊Complete
