Hey Wattpadders,
          	
          	Over a longer period, we have had a vast overflow of stories being submitted to our RLs. It's awesome! Unfortunately, there's been so much, and we haven't been able to keep up with all your great stories.
          	
          	Therefore, we will now be revamping our reading lists! To help us facilitate that, we will close our reading list submission forms for a short while as we set up our new lists. As soon as those forms are open again for story submissions, we will let you know. We will also notify you when our guidebook has been updated with our new reading list submission guidelines.
          	
          	The purpose of the revamp is to enable us to build an extensive library that will allow readers to fully immerse themselves in all our favorite fandoms and the best parts of what fanfiction as a genre can offer here on Wattpad. We want to showcase even more amazing writers and their stories.
          	
          	Thanks for your patience while we get this all sorted out. 
          	- The Fanfic team

@Jamiesgirl82 Hi there,
          	  
          	  We'll be removing all stories from our reading lists so we can start fresh. Those who have been featured previously will be welcome to submit again under the new guidelines. They will then be assessed like any other submission.
          	  
          	  Hope this answers the question!

Hi Fanfic, 
          
          I'm thinking of writing fanfic based on me & my favourite singers, I thought it'd be best to gather dislikes, likes, etc that are the same as me & put them in my notes.
          
          Would you say that is a good idea or do I need to have a read through your 'How To Write Fanfiction' from beginning to end?

@joshi_washi_writings Hi there,
            
            We are happy to hear you are considering writing fanfiction. Noting down your thoughts and considerations is always a good idea for a consistent story.
            
            As you mention, we definitely recommend that you check out our "How To Write Fanfction" guide: https://www.wattpad.com/story/30767512-how-to-write-fanfiction
            
            The guide is written as a collection, so there is no need to read through all of it unless you want to. Page through what articles that seem interesting or useful to you and then use it as a tool to improve your fanfiction writing.
            
            We hope this helps.

IMPORTANT WATTPAD CONTENT UPDATE:
          
          Hello Wattpaders,
          
          There has been an update to Wattpad's Content Guidelines, effective April 15, 2024, regarding the age of consent that is now raised in stories to 18+. This change will clarify how Teen Fic and YA writers should approach romance storylines. Please carefully read through the information available via the link below, ensuring that your stories comply with these guidelines and are not at risk of being removed by Wattpad.

@taexcxm  from reading, it’s the underaged users who are upset, and ppl just didn’t like that their books were deleted because they would’ve easily changed the age of their characters instead of having their books deleted, which I understand, some worked very hard and they could’ve just let the writers change the ages

@aiko_invalid  I don’t care for it but I do know that most of ppl(writers) who do write it while the characters still in hs are also still in hs too, so maybe that’s why they are mad about it, the probably thought that meant their page was gonna get taken down for being underage. Because looking at the profiles of the ones who are mad, they’re not 18+.
