i just have a little question, is there a maximum to the amount of books you can create and if so, how many?

@Barbie_Chik No, you can't post someone else's work here. Plagiarism is against the rules, in here as well as many other reading and writing site I know of.

@HelloKittyPower You can get more followers by involving yourself in clubs and reading other people's work and leaving a well detailed review for them. Some people does fan for fan, which will allow you to have one more fans. I suggest you to do the reading and leaving a detailed comment on their work, and involving yourself in clubs. Another best and great way to receive fans is by your work. If one user finds your story/poem very interesting he/she will fan you to keep up with your work as well as let others know about it!

@alicealicexox As far as I know. There are no maximum limits of books you can create here. You can create as many as you want.

Can you have friends in Wattpad? And if yes, how do you add them? Without inviting, I mean. How do you find someone's profile?

@mikachiku26 Yes, you surely can! You can add someone by "Fanning" them. Just go to someone's page and you'll see a start and something below their profile picture saying "Become a fan"

If you want to find someone you've to know their username. Just type in their username and it will take you to a new page. There you'll see two things one saying "Find Stories" and the other one saying "Find People" click on the find people button and it will give you results of users existing with that username.

Have fun on Wattpad. :)

I'm new at Wattpad so I don't really know or understand the ropes. What exactly is voting and commenting? And how do you divide your story into parts?

Hi, I;m new to Wattpad so I really don't understand the ropes. What exactly is voting and commenting?

@raltsXXsaltsXX...voting is when you like a story, so you are saying you like that chapter by voting. It helps elevates the story and lets people know that the story is good. Commenting is when you want to add your thoughts such as- OMG!! I can't believe they did that, update soon!, things like that. As for dividing your story into parts, just push the new chapter button. That's it, basically. HOpe it helps and feel free to ask any more question :)

How do I make friends on here?

@raltsXXsaltsXX no problem

@Sarcasticreader14 you make the cover...you can use photobucket, or you can go over to the book cover club and see if someone over there can make you a cover :)

@amylovesyou, you really don't make 'friends' here like you do on facebook. Instead, you fan people. Once you fan them, you'll get updates on their statuses and their books.

Hope it helps!

@Werty7Not sure what you meant by that. If you meant how to post cover of your story.

Use the HTML code

(img src="The URL of the Image")

The quotes are required and replace () with <>

If you just meant how to copy the link to your story then just copy the link provided in the big white bar in your browser to your story. Make sure to go to your story page in order to give the link to your story. Then simply just paste it in a forum. Remember though, you can only advertise and share your story on the "Share your story club"

Hope this clears it up for you.

@DorkXD when you write your story, just write whatever you like :)

@LaniJones hello, do you have a question?

Reply Report

@Werty7 You're most certainly welcome. =)

@DefyGravity That doesn't answers @DorkXD question. He/she can't write whatever that person likes. Getting out of COC (Code of Conduct) and TOS (Terms of service) can lead to her story deletion as well as her account. To answer your question:

@DorkXD You can create a chapter that only consists of "Authors note" <-- Write that and add what you want to add about your story and comments and other details. Author notes means... You're noting about the story and extra notes of the story. Make sure to make it clear and well detailed. Asking for votes and comments isn't the right way and many won't vote for your story but you can try asking it on your story.

You necessarily don't have to create "Author's note" you can also tell readers to leave a comment or any other of those in the beginning of your story but make sure you separate that detail with your story by drawing a line and start your story. I hope that 's what you're asking for, if not elaborate your question please.

@LaniJones Hello there.
