repost all my story's chapters on other sites? I mean, I have been sitting on a stockpile of stories for a while now that have been exclusively on SH. I wonder if I should bite the bullet and post them on the other sites—specifically, Royalroad, Tapas, Ritoria, Honeyfeed, Soyetsu, Ao3, and Tumblr. It would just help get my name out there. What do y'all think? Should I do it despite knowing that most of my stories don't have an ending yet or should I post it and soak up the exposure?

That is a lot of names I hear for the first time.
And, yes. There is no real reason not to. Except perhaps on that Chinese-run site - 'Webnovel' I think it was.
Depending on the content and themes, there is a high chance your story can take off there if it hasn't happened here.
But I have to say, RR for example, can be really harsh. So be wary of unwarranted critique.
What works on SH does not necessarily work on other sides and vice versa.

Yeah, I have no intentions of going back to webnovel ever.

If you want to gain a audience then yes.

Okay, I clicked around these sites, and Ritoria refused to work on Firefox. None of the of the pictures was loading.
Tapas has an abysmal reputation among the web-comic communities. Or so it seems from quick searching.
I already post on RR, and I use Ao3 to post smut.

Honeyfeed seems nice, from what I can tell.

Is there a specific reason you picked these sites?
