Prompts, challenges, activities, games - there's a lot of fun to be had on Wattpad, and when you're too stressed out, why not try something non-competitive? These are also great for helping generate a little inspiration and break out of writer's block. And you might get a little more exposure to expand your reading audience through some of these, too.

Seasonal, limited-time reading list submissions are here, too. If you're looking for static reading list submissions, check out the Reading List Submissions chapter.

Important: It used to be against Wattpad's Terms of Service to do vote for vote and vote buying, and while it's allowed now, it's still frowned upon.
