Hey Mauve!!
First of all: Welcome to Wattpad. I'm really glad you decided to join as well. I've been on here for over a year now and I'm still loving it.
Here are some links and tips you might find useful, well, I would've loved to know these things when I first joined :)
There is a Wattpad For Dummies on @Writing-101. It's still a work in progress but quite helpful to help you get started on Wattpad.
You can find the other Wattpad Ambassadors like me on http://www.wattpad.com/user/WPNinjas. We're all here for you in case you have any questions. So just let us know if we can help you out with anything.
When you're having trouble or have suggestions for Wattpad, you can go to the Wattpad Support page: http://support.wattpad.com
To find new stories to read, I recommend the discovery tab or Wattpad Shuffle (you can find this at the top of the page, on the right where it says: I'm feeling random)
Then there still are the Wattpad clubs, the perfect place to meet new people, get story recommendations, talk about random stuff and whatnot.
Two clubs you might want to pay a visit:
- http://www.wattpad.com/forums/categories/22-club (the newcomers club)
- http://www.wattpad.com/club/38-share-your-story (the share your story club, a place where people can recommend/suggest stories)
So yes, I think I've covered it all. If you have any more questions, just let me know and I'd be happy to help you out with whatever I can.
Have fun on Wattpad!
