I know I'm speaking into the ether... but I've done so much work on TMHIE over the last year. Is it worth it to try and enter the Wattys? and i know, that work hasn't been posted here...

Does Wattpad notify you whenever someone adds your book to their reading list anymore? Just a thought. I don't get a lot of interaction anymore, so it's like... the votes? the comments? Do we see those still? Lili doesn't know

@Phase19 The engagement side, I understand lol. My 1D fanfic I'm reposting was like that. But that was over 10 years ago, and Im just here too infrequently now sadly. But hoping to change that. I just know that's how it used to be and i don't know any of the new stuff. Like we can't dedicate chapters anymore or add photos to the top as well as a song (maybe I'm just Wattpad incompetent now)

@little_duquetter I still get mine but it's like this: if you don't stay consistent in attracting readers and interacting with their comments, they will eventually abandon your books. It is basically all about engagement, you have to keep them interested either by reading their own writing or helping them out somehow (my most devoted reader I helped out by being a beta of theirs) 
            
            But you'll definitely be notified whenever you work's been added to someone's list or voted as well as commented on--at least I do, anyway.
