Pixelmum

Another contest for newer writers - books which have already won previous user-run contests on Wattpad are judged in a separate category from all other books so that newbies are not pitted against writing giants. This is run by a large community so a high chance of finishing too!

Hi all! Cae of the Literary Lounge, aka @Exequinne is celebrating ten years on Wattpad with this contest! 
          
          This has two categories, one for newbie writers and one for more established writers, so if you're near the start of your writing journey and want to test your works with other new writers then this is for you!

PARASITE made ONC shortlist! WOAH! I can't believe it! 
          
          (ಥ﹏ಥ)
          
          Still in shock because there were some amazing ONC entries that didn't make it even though they were Round Winners and Ambassadors' Picks. Here are a few awesome books that didn't get to shortlist, but I really hope that you check them out. To those who shortlisted and those who didn't, we all wrote a full novella en mass, from scratch, by 30 April!

Hi! I forgot to say that PARASITE made it to ONC's longlist! I'm so happy that I've come this far in the contest, and proud to have a finished novella since actually completing books isn't my strong point at the moment lol
          
          Good luck to those waiting for the shortlist!

Hello! I'm one of the judges for the @FreeTheLGBT profile's annual PRIDE AWARDS! This is a fun contest to celebrate queer-focussed books and bump up your reading lists with summer reads, and of course the grand winner will get their book promoted on the @FreeTheLGBT Profile and in the community's Rainbow Book Club!

Thank you for adding Equilibrium to your reading list!!

The epilogue of PARASITE is uploaded! Thanks so much for 3k reads and for supporting this book throughout ONC! The book is currently at 41k words so I'll do a good haircut before submitting to ONC. 
          
          I can't believe that I have written 40k words in three months! Even if I forget to submit the book to ONC next week, writing so much this year already is such a huge achievement for me (although I am very tired and my kids and man are basically feral by now hahahaaaa)
          
          Best of luck to everyone who still has time to keep going with the contest!

The final chapter of PARASITE (minus an epilogue that I am writing tonight!) is here! Finally this book is done! The full story is 42k words so I will cut hard this weekend to get it under 40k. 
          
          I can't believe that I am actually going to continue ONC for one more round, and I really can't believe that I FINISHED A BOOK before May. That's not usually what happens to me lol 
          
          Thanks to all who have been reading along - I really hope that this ending is every bit the climax you've been waiting for!
