Hello. Is there already a list of the top10 finalists for the Wattpad Project Portal Contest? I hope you release the list in public. I'm reading a lot of comments saying this and that entries are AI art. I even saw an entry included in your Reading List that was made by a team/comic studio. As per FAQ posted, an entry cannot be a collaborative work. Hopefully, there were no AI entries included in the finalists and entries that violated the rules were excluded from consideration.

@yelwxyz - I guess we'll just have to trust the folks at HQ and see what happens when the results come out...

@TheOrangutan i understand what you're saying. but having obvious ai entries shortlisted/included in the reading list is worrying coz it meant the screening wasn't thorough. And regarding the "studio" concern, what if it was explicitly stated in the comic entry itself, for example, "story adapted by *this person*" and "art by *that person*", is this still not considered a collaboration? coz if they were the same person, the use of using different pen names for crediting oneself seems impractical.

@yelwxyz - any announcements about the PPC will happen via the profile the contest is running on I'd imagine. For the entries, what people are saying and what is actually the truth of the situation is not always 100% aligned. As for any 'studios', just because someone calls themselves a studio, doesn't necessarily mean they're a company or even a collaboration. Wattpad usernames are names, not necessarily reality. For example, you're not actually talking to an Orangutan...
