and T go a long way. Here is a little something that can help make everyone's general experience more pleasurable on any community profile. There are some behaviors that are frowned upon, just as there are things that need more appreciation.

- Please don't post the link to your story on another user's message board or in the comments of their stories (unless stated that you may).

- You can inquire about how to share or promote your story. It's natural to want some love and recognition for your hard work. Check out the Wattpad writers community forums for some exposure. You'll find your stories are welcome in the Share Your Story threads!

- Don't go around hassling people to read your story with no intention of returning the favor.

- You can politely ask someone to review your story and leave feedback, and it won't harm your plea to offer the same in return. There are tons of review and critique services around Wattpad run by users just like you!

- Do not get involved with vote trading, offer votes as a reward, or bribe people with votes.

- You should only vote if you enjoy/support the story you read. Votes represent your admiration, so show your love of fine writing by pressing that star.

- Do not spam or harass profiles. Profiles are not run by A.I. (computers) There are real people behind the scenes, very much like you blinking at the screen right now.

- You are absolutely allowed to interact with the people running the profiles. Be tactful and mindful, you never know who you are talking to and it's not nice to hurt feelings.

- Don't act out of anger. Everyone is a slave to their emotions from time to time. It's important to always think before you type and hit send.

- You are entitled to your opinion. But wait a moment before you react. Take a step back and think of a better way to sort the issue. One that won't hurt feelings.

- Don't forget, it's easy to search for the information you might require. We suggest Wattpad's Help Center as you first resource.

- Ask questions if you're stuck. We will help you with a smile!
