Hey everyone! Handful of things, so please be sure to read the full post!
First off, the newest chapter of ACotD is out, so if you've been waiting on that, it's here! :D

Second, very important to look into! Wattpad has updated its moderation system and its Age of Consent guideline. From my interpretation, AI will now go through and flag books it believes violates the guidelines, and then humans will work to verify the flag and do their part from there. However, and this part isn't expanded upon, there was a glitch that caused a lot of perhaps improper flagging and even some book removals (which it doesn't seem is meant to be the job of the AI), so be sure to report to support if you're facing issues with books you're sure didn't break any guidelines!
The above is my own interpretation. Please read the actual chapter update and make your own decisions <3

Lastly, the NaNo site has done a loooot of things that make people question if they want to use it despite liking the idea behind NaNo/Camp NaNo. Dreamland is doing its best to immulate its set up through our own thing, DreamANovel Month (DANM for short :D). If you'd like to join in with us on these, even if you're also participating in NaNo, join our discord, where we support each other through the writing grind, give out stickers, and have a couple fun giveaways for completers! Plus, a pretty sheet to help with tracking.
If you want to join, the link is in my bio!
