          Update on the Arena Awards: @SuVida777 and @tarishannon18 have done an amazing job with the Arena of Daggers which means results will soon be posted! Thorns is still open for entry and Cloaks is slightly delayed. Once ONC is over, our judges will be back to scheduled programming XD Thanks for your patience!

We've crowned our Champion of Fluff! Congrats to @Han_Banana21 for melting our judges' hearts with a scene so soft and sweet <3 Thank you all for participating and take a look at our newest arenas! They'll be the last ones for awhile, as the Arena Awards will be taking a break after they're complete.

Two Champions have been crowned! Congratulations to @MusicalKehleigh and @axgirl13 for triumphing in the contest of wind with their books 'Bridge to the Future' and 'Justice For The Fallen'. Check out the links in the comments to read their hooking beginnings!
          
          Our Arena of Thorns is open for entry with the Arena of Daggers soon to follow! Thank you all for being patient as we work to release results. Our judges are amazing and have had them in for some time, but the host *cue me waving* may have bitten off more than she could chew and is now playing catch up. But we can promise that we are still alive and working behind the scenes!

Our monthly curated list is up early this time! (quite possibly to make up for the missed months... seriously, where does time go?) Please give a round of applause to @tarishannon18 @SpruceWolf @TheConfusedTurtle @TCSundberg and @CroodsGirl ! You can view the reading list here: https://www.wattpad.com/list/1165761536--
          
          If you're interested in the chance to have your own works featured, or if you have a fantastic book to recommend, check out our profile guide! https://www.wattpad.com/story/288020386-profile-guide
          
          @tarishannon18 's Venture to Uncertainty is a daring tale of pirates, heists, and a siren strategist whose call you won't be able to resist. Don't underestimate the mystery and plot twists in this one.
          
          A Touch of Darkness by @SpruceWolf features an anti-hero of the deadly variety caught in the conflict between warring kingdoms. Hugging the mc would be welcome, but not advised. We'd like to prevent the casualties. 
          
          Assassins? Enemies to Lovers? Magic curses? What could go wrong! Read Ashes to Ashes by @TheConfusedTurtle . Come expecting angst. Lots of it.
          
          @TCSundberg 's Rebecca Smythe: Witch in Training is a humorous tale of a witch who becomes a jack-of-all-trades, from watching mischievous children with magic to stumbling on potential secrets...
          
          Messummer by @CroodsGirl is a tale that will pick you up and fly away with you! Expect a jump back into time and an overly friendly dinosaur there to greet you <3

I still can't believe that the Okami Awards have finally come to an end. Let's take a look at our action/adventure winners. 
          
          In first place, we have Awakening the Blade by @dreaminginreverie !
          https://www.wattpad.com/story/295396417-awakening-the-blade
          
          In second place, we have King of Diamonds by @AutumnSky222 !
          https://www.wattpad.com/story/309422246-king-of-diamonds

And with that, our final category is announced in the Okami Awards. To all the participants, thank you, and I hope you stick around for the other amazing things this profile has to offer. Now, let's take a look at one of our amazing judges, @lavendareyes
          
          All Yazia knows is a world of violence and bloodshed. But Yazia herself never took up the blade for herself - until the unjust death of her parents leads her on the path of revenge. But a bigger war is brewing, and it's up to Yazia to protect her people. But what happens when the enemy king isn't the real monster she should fear?
