You mean they said that your work didn't meet the content rules?

It said cause I posted on scribblehub that I needed to do all this mumbo jumbo to post on the website.
...bruh that is like the one thing they ask, and for good reason. How the fuck do they know you are who you say you are and not just some random asshole who decided, "oh imma steal this guy's story and post it to RRL pretending to be him. "?

Just write in the synopsis that you ar gonna post your work to RRL and you'll be fine. I had to do the exact same thing with one of my stories. It ain't hard, dont complain.

RRL is just a much bigger website and has the manpower to actually enforce their rules. Meanwhile places like SH dont require that cuz we have so few mods that they wouldnt be able to handle all the stories posted in multiple places that come here otherwise.

Yeah, standard procedure and rule. You can delete the added line on other sites right after your request gets approved. The same nickname doesn't mean shit as other people said. And out of all the options they offer, changing synopsis is the fastest and easiest.

Yeah, I remember something like that since I already posted on fanfiction.net and other places, they wanted me to verify that I was the actual author. It wasn't difficult to get through that step.

To simply post on Royal Road. In the summary of your book. Put the sites your work is on, this is like a copyright notice. This should reflect to everywhere your work is at. Also, ensure to provide the same email address in your profile. If you have these two things done, you should get in just fine.

Rather, do we even have any mods to moderate content other than Tony?

As long as you have some way to prove your identity, they'll allow it. I didn't even have to change my synopsis. I just emailed them from the official email address for this pen name, and pointed them to where that email address is listed on my website, along with all of my books.

Yeah, I did this too.
Don't worry they were kind when I talk to them. Just use the support ticket, they will answer your questions.

I recently posted some of my stuff to Royal Road. It got flagged because it's also published here, and they resolved the issue within an hour as soon as I added a note to my synopsis about cross-posting the novels.

Very normal for RR. You have to prove the work is yours if it's on another site as well. So long as you put somewhere in your blub that it's been posted elsewhere, it's usually fine

It's just as easy as posting (also posting in RoyalRoad) below your synopsis. This thread wouldn't need to exist.

Conversely:

Dude, just make your own thread.
