Hi folks, 
          	
          	It's almost Wattys Time! 
          	
          	And so we've just launched Road to The Wattys, an interactive resource for writers and readers designed to prepare and get them excited for this year's awards. 
          	
          	So, no matter what your level of Watty's expertise this community guide is for you!
          	
          	Every week (for the next month) we’ll be releasing a new chapter for you to check out and engage with! 
          	
          	Note - the formal rules and regulations won’t be released until May 20th, 2025 but we have already released some information about this year's awards which is re-iterated in chapter one of the guide.
          	
          	So, here's the Road to the Wattys in all four languages supported by this year's contest: 
          	
          	In English: https://www.wattpad.com/story/392238927-road-to-the-wattys
          	In Filipino: https://www.wattpad.com/story/392239411-road-to-the-wattys
          	In Portuguese: https://www.wattpad.com/story/392239678-estrada-rumo-ao-wattys
          	In Spanish: https://www.wattpad.com/story/392240080-camino-a-los-wattys
          	
          	Enjoy! More coming soon. 
          	
          	Cheers, Gavin

Glitch! 
          My Wattpad app is refusing to cooperate with WiFi, and I'm not alone. It seems many users are experiencing the same issue, where the app fails to load, see the notifications or function properly despite a stable internet connection.
          Please tell when it gonna be alright it's really hard to handle with this 
          Thanks

@deadofwrite12-_- - if they said they're working on it then surely that's an answer isn't it? While I appreciate the frustration, there's nothing I can really do here. If they're aware and working on it then it'll get fixed at some point, but I don't have any more information I can share with you I'm afraid, sorry.

Hello! Good Morning
          
          How are you doing? 
          
          Do you have any idea why wattpad is not working? No story open, comment, nothing is working.... I submit a ticket also. 
          
          Wattpad Ambassador Program Update? I mean when we will get to know?

TheOrangutan

@AuthorRavenBlack - Hi, I'm afraid I do not know the answer to your question as I'm not a member of the Support team. If you've sent in a ticket, then that's the correct course of action and that will help Support work out what's going on so that they can get things fixed. 
            
            All successful applicants to the Ambassador Program will get a private message by mid July at the latest.

Beni taciz eden hesabımı görmesini istemediğim bir kullanıcıdan rahatsızım. Bunun için wattpadin support kısmına digital harassment kapmasında bir mail gönderdim 8 mayısta. Ama hala geri dönüş alamadım, hesabım için endişeleniyorum. Ne yapmalıyım?

TheOrangutan

@katusu - Merhaba,
            
            Wattpad Destek'e başka bir e-posta göndermeyi denemenizi öneririm. Ayrıca, Yardım sayfalarına giriş yaparak mevcut sorununuzun durumunu kontrol edebilirsiniz.

Hello! This is probably a very stupid question, but I need to know, are their specific categories for the Wattys, and is Fanfiction one of them? It’s alright if you don’t want to answer, I don’t want to bother!
          -Kaz

@KazemGray - Hi, there's some more information on @TheWattys profile, but fanfic as a genre isn't eligible for this year's awards. Hope that clarifies things. Cheers, Gavin

Hey Gavin, sorry to bother you, but can you help me regarding a book I want to report? It's extremely explicit, and although I've reported it multiple times, I feel it's my responsibility to keep this place safe for people.

TheOrangutan

@Talessmith8 - Hi, if you have already reported the story then it's in the Wattpad ticketing system and our Trust and Safety team will deal with it. I appreciate that you want to keep Wattpad safe for others, and that's great to see, but I am not a member of the Trust and Safety team and so I cannot bypass the system that is in place. Cheers, Gavin

Hello! I hope you're having a wonderful day!
          
          Some time ago, I received a message suggesting that I might have the opportunity to become an ambassador. The thought has stayed with me, and I must say, it truly excited me. 
          
          I would be honored to learn more about what this role involves and what steps I should take to move forward.

Ufletor

Thanks, Gavin! I'll check it out
            If I have any questions, I'll let you know!

@Ufletor - Hi, there's some more information on the Ambassador Program here - https://creators.wattpad.com/programs-and-opportunities/wattpad-ambassadors/ - or you can go direct to the @Ambassadors profile and read the Ambassador Program information there. 
            
            Once you've read through that, you can send in a submission form to apply to become a member of the team. 
            
            Any questions after you've read through things, please do come back to me. 
            
            Cheers, Gavin

Hey sorry for bothering you but can I get your help on something? I'm going to report a book that is being spread around about a user in a negative light is there any way besides reporting it to get it taken down? I would much appreciate it

Dani_WolfAmazonQueen

@TheOrangutan I did report it but it got out of hand thanks to the book it caused drama and brought to other followers into it that had nothing to do with it but it's too late now thanks to the book the user closed down their account because of it but thank you for your time

Hello Gavin!
          AESTHETICSOUL037 here! How are you? I had a doubt about the Ambassadors Program- I had filled the form seven days ago. How will I know if I am selected or not? The team will send an email- I understood that but within how much timeframe.
          P.S- I KNOW THIS IS A LITTLE BIT STUPID TO ASK BUT....HEHE.
          
          Have a good day/night/evening!❤️
