Hi everyone,
          
          As many of you have seen, Wattpad is getting rid of its private messaging feature (DMs) on May 6th. This means that instead of notifying authors through DMs when we've added one of their stories to our reading lists or when we'd like to request an interview, we will be shifting to reaching out on authors' message boards. Depending on how this works out going forward, we may also use other methods such as Discord.
          
          It'll take a while to get used to losing this particular feature, but rest assured we're not going anywhere. As always, feel free to let us know if there are any ways you think we could better serve our community. In the meantime, stay awesome!

Happy International Asexuality Day, everyone! For those who don't know, International Asexuality Day (IAD for short) is a worldwide campaign centered on promoting awareness and acceptance of people under the asexual umbrella that takes place on April 6th every year. The four themes of IAD are:
          
          - Advocacy
          - Celebration
          - Education
          - Solidarity
          
          In honor of IAD, we would absolutely love to hear about your favorite story featuring one or more characters under the asexual umbrella. Make sure you tag the author to spread the love!

Happy Aromantic Spectrum Awareness Week, everyone! For those who don't know, Aromantic Spectrum Awareness Week (ASAW for short) is an annual, international event meant to spread awareness and acceptance of people on the aromantic spectrum. The event was first recognized in November 2014 as Aromantic Awareness week, but has since change its name to be more inclusive of the full aromantic spectrum and is now held on the first full week following Valentine's Day.
          
          We'd love to hear all about your favorite stories featuring aro-spec characters! Make sure you tag the author to spread the love <3

For this month's interview, we talked to @OwlieCat about Stolen Sign, which began as an entry into the Open Novella Contest before eventually becoming a Wattpad Original!

          Are you planning to participate this year? We'd love to hear about it!

We hope everyone has an absolutely amazing new year! This year, our resolutions are to:
          
          1. Spotlight at least one author per month in our interview book. Make sure you check out our first interview of the year with @BirtheV about Prometheus, a novella with a unique take on vampires!

          2. Keep adding amazing stories featuring MCs on the aromantic and asexual spectrums to our reading lists.
          
          3. Continue growing our profile so we can better promote amazing authors in the aromantic and asexual communities. Huge thanks to everyone who has supported us so far!
