Hey Ahsihtin! I'm your fellow Ambassador and it's so great to talk to you. Hope you've been well? I wanted to drop by and thank you for being so supportive to everyone on Wattpad!
          
          And on that altruistic note, would you be willing to help me with my academic research survey? I need diverse opinions on the Representation of the Indian Queer community on Wattpad and I'm sure your voice will add incredible value to my research. Or if you know anyone who might be interested in helping, that would be great as well. 
          
          It'll only take 5-7 minutes to complete the survey. 
          
          Your responses are completely confidential and won't be shared with anyone. Your consent is critical as well.

It's the month of Preptober and another fabulous engagement initiative is being hosted by four of our ambassador profiles.  We know that many of you are familiar with November’s 30 days of writing, which challenges authors to write 50k words during the month of November. Of course, it takes time to prepare for such a big undertaking, and these teams are offering some fun challenges to get your creative brain cells firing. 
          
          From October 1st through the 31st, the @ContemporaryLit, @ChickLit, @WattpadAfterDark, and @lgbtq profiles will share writing prompts, challenges, and words of encouragement for a bit of brainstorming help. Be on the lookout for activity updates posted on their message boards. And remember that Prior Planning Promotes Premium Performance!
