Hello, I hope everyone is having a pleasant day.
          
          I'm planning on publishing my work and a couple of chapters here. Before I can do that, I wanted to request for a bit of advice regarding a story's copyright under a pen name or pseudonym. I'm not planning to use my legal name in this platform since I would like to stay private, however I'm not certain if the usage of my pen name cancels out the copyright.
          
          I'm sorry if this seems very obvious to everyone at first. I tend to overthink and get worried easily, so I would like to know.
          
          Thank you for your time!

Hello,
          I’m contacting you as a Wattpad Ambassador because I urgently need help with a serious issue.
          
          My story, published several years ago, was completely deleted without any prior warning. I was informed it violated Wattpad’s rules, yet many stories with far more extreme content remain available on the platform. My story is now gone entirely — not public, not in drafts, not accessible to me in any form.
          
          I have already contacted Wattpad Support, but what I am asking for is at least access to my own work, even privately as a text file or script. This story is my creative work, had significant success, and represents my intellectual property.
          
          For context, I am a writer from Slovakia, and losing access to my work without warning has been extremely upsetting.
          
          If you could help escalate this issue or advise me on any way to recover my story, I would be deeply grateful.
          
          Thank you for your time,
          Ľudmila

@brokengirl005 - Hi Ludmila, 
            
            The Ambassadors are community volunteers and, as such, they have no access to any of Wattpad's Admin systems, and so they cannot help you recover your story or any of your text. 
            
            If you have contacted Wattpad Support then that is the correct way to approach this one as that will put you in direct contact with the Wattpad team. That is all either myself or the Ambassadors can advise at this stage. 
            
            Regards, Gavin

Seeds of inspiration are ready to be planted, waiting for writers to nurture them into stories that grow, twist, and bloom in unexpected ways. Now it’s your turn to pick a prompt, take up your pen, and begin cultivating your novella.
          
          To enter round 1, choose your main prompt and write at least 2,000 words. Once your work is published, submit it through the submission form when it opens on February 10th, and let your story take its first roots in the contest.
