Hey! I saw your comment under the competition rules. Please don't interpret this as bitchy, but don't let your submissions depend on feedback. Write for you boo boo. Also, I'm sure you've seen what's popular on Wattpad. The story that I never intended to write, the one that I made JUST to appease Wattpad readers as a little social test, happens to be my most popular, even with how unpopular I am. I suppose all writing counts, or else I would have scrapped it by now. Anyway, post away. I used to only choose books to read that were popular (that proved to profoundly suck) and then books that were well developed so that if I got attached, I wouldn't be faced with that awful "Until next time!" waiting period. Wattpad is my Netflix. I binge read. Alright, rambling now. So yea, don't wait on the disappointing Wattpad community to back you up before you write - just do it. Thanks :)

Hmmmmm I see. I completely agree with your take on the competition. I fantasized speed writing and editing my last chapters and then the all nighters to edit one of my whole stories for submission, and it's not worth the failure. That and my laptop is broken and yet to be brought in to be fixed, so I'd have a week or so to do all that... not an idealistic writing environment with a week to mega write. Bajesus, it'll be interesting when the winning writer has THE most basic story on Wattpad.

I have no intentions of letting poor readership affect my writing or how I post my stories. I don't write for anyone but myself; I wrote the novel to prove to myself that I could finish something that big. My only point was that the way the competition is judged is a huge disadvantage to 90% of Wattpad writers. I wasn't going to enter anyway; I'd have to mass upload my novel and having 20-something chapters with 12 views would be worse PR than entering and losing. Something I learned on fan fiction.net: never post all of your story at once, even if you have it all written. A lot of readers will go, "Oh, it has 12 chapters but only 1 review. It must not be very good," and never take the chance. That rule has served me well over there, I'll just have to see how to goes here.
