Hello, Alex!
          
          I’m a Wattpad Community Ambassador and I’d like to congratulate you on posting your first story!  There’s a lot to take on as a new writer on Wattpad, so I’d like to pass on some links you may find helpful.  
          
          If you’re wondering how to do something on Wattpad or want to learn more about how Wattpad works, the guides posted on the @howtousewattpad profile are a good resource.  Be sure to check out their reading lists too, as they have even more guides written by Wattpad authors filled with advice on writing and how to promote your stories.  
          
          If you have questions, you can get help from my fellow @Ambassadors.  It’s a good idea to follow them to get updates on fun Ambassador activities you can participate in.  Also, we suggest following @Wattpad to get announcements of the latest Wattpad news and contests.
          
          In addition, Wattpad’s Help Center has quite a bit of information, including live updates on the Wattpad’s operational status and known glitches/bugs.  You can report issues there if something isn’t working.  https://support.wattpad.com/hc/en-us
          
          Thanks and good luck with your story!
          
          @ZonderZorg - Community Ambassador

@Alex_Beecroft Thanks!  I was on LJ for a bit, but I used a different handle.

@katkeenan Thank you! Never Go Home sounds really good and I look forward to getting my teeth into it (metaphorically.) Your icon and name rings a bell, btw. Did you used to be on Livejournal? I feel like I recognize you.

Thanks for following me and adding Ran Shaipur to your reading list. I also used to spend a lot of time on LiveJournal! Wattpad is the most fun I have had online since LJ days. I hope it works out for you and that we get more of your intriguing story.

@tlryder @katkeenan That @adultfiction recommendation was just the sort of thing I was looking for, thank you! It looks really good. And @TechieInAK got to me before I could get to him :) So good!

@TechieInAK Thank you! Sorry to only get back to you now, but it's great to meet you and I imagine I'm going to be reading your 'how to navigate Wattpad' book asap. I have a friend who also writes SF/F and was wondering where to post her original fic for a bit of feedback and encouragement. I'll definitely be suggesting she try Wattpad too.

@Salintha Oh no, that's just the result of me assuming things from the blurb. That just means that the story will surprise me ;)

@Alex_Beecroft I was not aware that I actually used that trope. Oh no...
