Fiction Won't Publish

Masaru_Abatman · Apr 13, 2026

Hello! Maz, here! Why can't my fiction get published? My series is a crosspost from RR and Wattpad... It's called "Autitsic Aswang Prince".

We can't help you if you won't share more details, starting at what step did the process fail?

Sometimes it just takes a while, especially for the cover to get checked and approved. Several days, I think? Someone who knows more should correct me

It will take longer if the story is crossposted from other sites. This is to verify if it's stolen or not. You can add a line saying the story will be crossposted to SH in the story's synopsis on the other sites to speed up the approval process.

I forget which other site I was on at the time, but I remember this. I was supposed to go on the other site and let the second site see a disclaimer. "I own this and I also posted this on such and such site(s)..."

I guess that made verification easier. Like I even understoof what I was doing that for and why at the time.

Varies with manual approval. I had mine in about thirty minutes. Damn near had a panic attack. Thought I'd have to wait longer.

Yep - went through that when posting "Diamond in the Rough" to Royal Road, and then when posting "True Blue" here (getting the story on RR took more steps but less time, oddly enough - to repost to RR took a full page form filled out twice over three days; I just had to send three emails but then wait a full week on True Blue).
