What is 'Watterature'?

Just like we have 'Twitterature', which is an amalgamation of two words - Twitter and Literature - we have introduced our own (Wattpad and Literature). The only difference is the word limit. While in Twitterature, there's a word limit of 140 characters, in Watterature, . Please note it's ten words, not ten characters.

For example, the Watterature for Harry Potter can be written as: "A young wizard, Harry Potter, defeats Voldemort, the Dark Lord."
