@ivswrites - for now, nothing will happen for about 24 hours while we sift through the results of things. Then we'll get you moving next week on some more specific training. And yes, you can change your discord name if you want to, that's fine

@LimahhhE22 oh alright Thank you 

@LimahhhE22 - Hi, that's correct, yes. As you started writing it before 2023 it will not be eligible for this year's Wattys. I would also note that the Wattys 2026 has not started in the planning phase yet, but it will likely be similar to this year, so July time. So get writing now =]

@reilly_holland - ok, then next steps are to make sure your birthdate is correct, and you can check that via your profile settings.
            
            Then you'll need to wait for 24 hours if you've made any updates. 
            
            If none of that works, then you'll need to contact the Wattpad Support Team via the Help pages (and please include screenshots to show you meet the eligibility criteria).

@TheOrangutan my word count is over 50k I checked and it is also marked complete , any other reasons why it wouldn’t allow me to enter? 

@reilly_holland - if you're story was posted in Sept 2023 then that's fine in terms of date. 
            
            The most common reasons for the non-eligibility of a story is that it's either not hit the 50k min word count, or that your story hasn't been marked complete.

@TheOrangutan Okay, thank you! :)

@-Wildpfote- - Hi, I'm not a copyright specialist, but Wattpad are Canadian rather than American and I can't see us giving third parties free use of Wattpad content as ultimately you as the writer own the copyright to what you have written and posted on Wattpad. That is my point of view on this one though, so if you're wanting a more formal company stance on this I'd suggest sending in a message to Wattpad via the Help pages.

@CFarley982 - Hi, well I can see you've starting reading my short story collection A Gift in the Dark, so I hope that you're enjoying those. I have a few longer pieces too, but the A Gift in the Dark collection is probably my personal favourite. Thank you for reading some of my work. Cheers, Gavin

@AamberSignn - ah ok, got you. And no, a story won't be removed just because it only has a few votes or reads or comments.

I am replying to the original post, I have just missed read it, I thought it said that if you don’t have enough people voting on your stories that your stories can be evicted lol my bad

@AamberSignn - sorry, I'm not sure I understand your statement/question there. Could you elaborate please?

@_abhipreeti_ - Hi, no there's no word count requirement by chapter. We only ask that entries in English are 50k+ words, or for Spanish, Portuguese or Filipino that they're 40k+ words in total.

@TheOrangutan is there a possibility to extend 0.0

@_isupergirluwu_ - Hi, please have a look at the info on the @ambassadors profile that will guide you through how to apply. But no, being an Ambassador is a volunteer role, so you do not get paid.
