Soo "This App Has Zombies" not only made it to the Longlist of ONC 2026 but also is a Round 3 Ambassadors Pick. This is honestly surprising SOB, I thought Round 3 was going to be the end of my journey. But apparently I'm still in the long run.
ALSO GUYS PLS PLS GO CHECK OUT "Voicemails for Isabelle." It's streaming on Netflix rn and I just finished the movie today, it’s SO GOOD. If you enjoy good rom-coms with a unique plot and stories that go beyond romance, then trust me this film is for you.

New romance novel, is that it :D
BLURB:
Maya Roy has exactly three priorities: Stay out of drama (especially university drama), be an emotional support to her little sister, and secure a coveted winter internship at the London Institute of Psychological Sciences, before second semester ended.
Falling for someone wasn't part of the list.
Falling for Chase Dalton, notorious heartbreaker, heartthrob and a narcissistic guy Maya would rather not get herself involved with, was DEFINITELY not part of the list.
After a messy misunderstanding, thanks to Chase himself, he makes an outrageous request to Maya. Fake-date him. Maya of course, refuses.
Until she realises Chase would be the perfect lab rat for her research work. And suddenly, pretending to be Chase Dalton's girlfriend didn't seem like a bad idea.
On the other hand? Chase begins plotting how he could break through Maya's icy exterior and make her fall for him.
The rules are simple. Maya gets her research done. Chase gets his fake relationship and sweet satisfaction at winning his own personal challenge. None of them know about each others' secret little missions.
However, neither of them expected the line between pretending, researching, seducing and feeling something real to disappear.

Guys there is a new scam going around where individuals pretending to be from Wattpad's T&S are asking for account information and stuff, in the guise of their new verification system or something like that. They will scare you saying if you do not complete this 'verification' process, you'll temporarily lose access from trying to publish or edit your works. DO NOT fall for this scam, and/or click any link.
Instead immediately block the user and report their profile and message to Wattpad T&S.
Stay safe guys. <33

Thanks for warning abt this, got one yesterday, each time scammers find new ways to harass users first it was the private messages and now it’s the conversation boards…

Got 2 emails yesterday, finally my works have been removed from Google Play Books. I have to say their DMCA form fill-ups are quite useful and helpful, but yeah they still need to strengthen their copyright authentication system. T__T

@_abhipreeti_ Oof, I'm sorry you had to deal with that. As someone who works with authors and manuscripts, I know how frustrating it can be to see your work uploaded or distributed without proper authorization. I'm glad the DMCA process worked and that Google responded quickly, but I completely understand your concern about copyright verification. Creators put so much time and effort into their work that stronger safeguards would save a lot of stress and unnecessary takedown requests. Hopefully, this is the last time you have to deal with something like that, and now you can focus on your writing instead of chasing copyright issues. Wishing you the best with your projects moving forward.

Got a message from AmbassadorsCommunication profile that even "Fantasy by Asian & Pacific Islander Authors" by the Fantasy profile (where Fall of Dragonesia's some chapters were featured) has been found on Google Books. The Ambs reached out to us featured authors so we can fill up the DMCA.
Like this is so disappointing. What the hell is Google Books doing, they should introduce a system where strong verification is required before any work is reproduced. You can't just publish something and profit from it without the rightful author's written permission.

@_abhipreeti_ That's incredibly frustrating to hear. First, your own work, and now an anthology featuring multiple authors being affected as well that's a much bigger issue than an isolated incident. I'm glad the ambassadors reached out so everyone involved can take action, but authors shouldn't have to spend their time filing DMCA notices to protect work that was never authorized for reproduction in the first place. Writing and publishing already require so much effort, and it's disappointing when creators have to deal with copyright violations on top of everything else. I hope all of the affected authors are able to get their works removed quickly. Situations like this really highlight the need for stronger verification and permission systems before copyrighted content can be distributed or monetized. Wishing you and the other authors the best as you work through this.

@ AnnamitaMuscaria really ?? I couldnt find it ?

I was recently made aware by a friend that my ONC entry was published on Google Books, that also without my permission, and being sold for 50-60 cents. Just now filled up the Google DMCA form. I also learnt this has been happening to several Wattpad writers. Please do check if your works are on there as well guys.

@BellOfSilence I have sent you the links to your two books I found on Google Books. Sent them to your message board
