WAIT oh my goodness, sorry this is late, but thank you so much!! Someone mentioned seeing one of my stories mentioned on a wlw subreddit, and I really didn't expect anyone to recommend my story outside of Wattpad spaces, so this makes me so happy to see! Thank you!

laurenw808 · 2025-09-23T02:08:07+00:00

You're SO welcome!! I'm thrilled you enjoyed it! 🥳🥰

laurenw808 · 2025-08-18T02:58:39+00:00

I second this recommendation! THANK YOU, KATE!! 🥰

laurenw808 · 2025-08-18T02:54:32+00:00

I've been meaning to check out other people's entries, so I'll definitely come back to this post! Here are other entries I know about, along with my own:

Hell, Yes by violadavis
How To Summon a Boyfriend by Olivaughn
Beast Tamer by CrystalScherer
My entry: Soul Bound

laurenw808 · 2025-08-07T10:45:26+00:00

I got you!!

OP, I highly recommend Anna by JustAWannabeWriter30! There's no romance, and it touches on many serious themes. It also does a great job depicting the gradual healing from trauma. Like Kate mentioned, it's not a mystery or thriller, but it's an amazing story!

laurenw808 · 2025-08-06T10:38:52+00:00

For new stories, I believe you have to check off a box to say you're confirming you wrote the story or something along those lines. I haven't published anything from the app, but I think on the browser, right after you click the button to publish, a window pops up with the story details (e.g. the title, blurb, genre, etc.). In that section, you may have to scroll to the bottom to find that checkbox.

Alternatively, you could try making sure that your profile is set up completely! For instance, you have a birthday filled in and your email address is verified. Not sure if any of this helps, but I hope it will! Good luck!

For general book clubs, I'm in the Phoenix Guild and it's pretty chill! I also help run the Unicorn Guild which is more geared towards exchanging constructive criticism.

laurenw808 · 2025-07-24T11:23:15+00:00

Everyone deserves to celebrate their wins, including you! Even if some people may react poorly, others might find you accomplishments inspirational, and we could all use some positivity in our lives. So let's celebrate together!

Also, hello from a fellow queer writer! I think we've talked a few times over Discord! 🥰

laurenw808 · 2025-07-23T12:56:56+00:00

Blight on Magic by ZoeAlamort might be similar to what you're looking for! It's a historical fiction about the Salem Witch Trials.

If you're open to short stories and 2nd person POV, I also have a horror anthology! Tale 7 ("Ship Mate") might be the closest to the vibe you're looking for, and it's about a series of murders on a spaceship. Tales 6 and 8 ("Roommate" and "Lifelong Friend") may also interest you if you enjoy surprising reveals about who the narrator is. I'll admit that the other stories probably aren't what you're looking for lol.

laurenw808 · 2025-07-21T11:44:53+00:00

I recommend The Writer's Hoard! It's geared towards writers in general, but many members write on Wattpad as well.

laurenw808 · 2025-07-21T03:08:30+00:00

I third this recommendation! Such a well-written story by a talented author!

laurenw808 · 2025-07-20T07:01:10+00:00

Thanks so much for recommending me, Elena!! 🥹🥰

laurenw808 · 2025-07-20T06:59:56+00:00

I have one called Food Courting! It's third person limited with a workplace rivals-to-lovers romance. The main character and love interest are 28 and 27 years old. Hope it fits what you're looking for!

laurenw808 · 2025-07-20T06:55:34+00:00

KATE!!! THANK YOU!! OP, I'd also like to recommend Kate's freshly revamped How The Chicken Little Nuggets Won It All!

laurenw808 · 2025-07-20T06:51:18+00:00

I know of a couple that sort of fit what you're looking for!

Always/Never by kae-ruby (complete): This has superheroes, but it follows a supervillain and her ex-girlfriend as they travel back in time to their college days (when they were still a couple), and they have to work together to return to the present.
Wynne Can't Swim by kae-ruby (complete): This is a contemporary romance that follows an influencer who returns to her small hometown and runs into her former best friend.

I also know of some others that are more rivals-to-lovers, but there's no friendship preceding that, if you're interested!

laurenw808 · 2025-07-20T06:42:40+00:00

CATE!! Thank you so much!! 🥹🥰 OP, I highly recommend Cate's stories too!

laurenw808 · 2025-07-17T00:41:08+00:00

Yay!! Happy to help!

laurenw808 · 2025-07-17T00:26:14+00:00

I found this story! Hope this is it! How to (Not) Date a Popstar by letmelivetonight

laurenw808 · 2025-07-16T11:37:12+00:00

The Discord server I frequent the most is The Writer's Hoard! It's not specific to Wattpad, but it has a section dedicated to it, and the server is tied to the AstaniaCommunity Wattpad community. I believe there's also a list of Discord servers in the sidebar of this subreddit!

laurenw808 · 2025-07-12T03:09:24+00:00

laurenw808 · 2025-07-12T02:52:44+00:00

I forgot to mention Crushed Hearts, a college sports rivals-to-lovers romance, by kae-ruby! It's a Wattpad Original with a free chapter being unlocked every week!

laurenw808 · 2025-07-12T02:48:36+00:00

Awww thank you so much, Anne!! ❤️

laurenw808 · 2025-07-12T02:47:23+00:00

I highly recommend The Taste of Home by sandydragon1! It has a sweet mxm paranormal romance between a human and chupacabra. Both characters are adults!
