Hello, rising flames! You may have noticed a new book published on our profile. We've brought over the Six Month Novel Challenge, an event we've been conducting via our Discord server, to Wattpad! While the actual logistics of the challenge will still be done through Discord, we will now be able to showcase all our lovely participants, starting next season, through this book, with excerpts, highlights, accomplishments, and more!
          
          The basic gist? Finishing a novel in six months. That means that, in order to win, you must write at least 50,000 words. But for those of you who prefer a flexible word count, feel too pressured, or just don't have the time, you're in luck—you're allowed to set your word goal as high or as low as you want! From one word to a million, there's no limit, and the only true goal of the challenge is to have fun.
          
          Interested? Check out the book posted to our profile titled "Six Month Novel Challenge," and join our Discord server, where you'll find everything you need to know under the SMNC announcements channel!

          “In a world where Vampire on Vampire murder is punishable by a fate worse than death, Lucretia Aemelia and Aurora Beatrix have been sworn enemies for two millennia. With their rivalry coming to a dangerous boiling point at Lucretia's 2200th birthday celebration, they are summoned by the Elders From Beyond the Veil, who put them through the nine circles of hell in a last-ditch effort to prevent the eruption of inter-clan war.”

Greeting, rising flames! Our judges are hard at work beginning to judge all the amazing stories entered into our Harvest Festival awards. But while those have just started, we have many community initiatives we invite you to partake in!
          
          ASTANIA INTERVIEWS: A great way to interact with the community through a personalized interview. Please note you must be in our Discord server to be interviewed: https://forms.gle/s8asm2tRDE7zshVx6
          
          DISCORD SERVER: A server where members of our Wattpad community can mingle with people on and off Wattpad, with plenty of writing help, inspiration, and motivation. We also have Discord-exclusive events run: https://discord.gg/authors
          
          ASTANIA STAFF: If you'd like to get involved with the community, check out our hiring book! We have a surplus of open positions at the moment, hitting almost every type of interest for people who'd like to help us out: https://www.wattpad.com/1355333385-astania-hiring-book-welcome
          
          ASTANIA BOOK CLUBS: We offer two book clubs with different focuses. Our Phoenix Guild offers a casual, laid-back approach at getting engagement and some feedback here and there. You can pick the books you'd like to sink your teeth into, allowing for you to find your next riveting read. Our Unicorn Guild hones in on constructive feedback, engagement, and a mutual experience, with assigned partners each month. Both clubs update monthly and the Phoenix Guild has a Book of the Month, where you can gain extra reads from fellow club members if you read enough to be chosen.
          
          ASTANIA EXCERPTS: A wonderful way to gain interested readers with a short snippet from a book of your own. The submission form is simple and quick: https://forms.gle/C9KjiKcbn4CzXFQA7
          
          ASTANIA READING LISTS: We'll be going through award entries and adding many to our lists, but if you'd like to guarantee a spot and/or feature a story that you didn't enter, feel free to submit here: https://forms.gle/Cx14s326eN38ZzDe7. Please note we cannot accept every submission.
