It needs approval from the mod team. It can take up to 48 hours to be greenlit.

It's been more than 48 hours though

Open up a bug report thread in https://forum.scribblehub.com/forums/bug-reports.5/

When doing so, include links to your story.

PS: if you publish a chapter and then reorganize it, it can mess with the automation and not put it on the recent tabs.

Thank you?

What constitute a 'smut'? I want to post a story but have no idea whether I should put smut tag or not.

It is smut if you describe copulation regularly. If there is one or two sex scenes across 100+ chapters or fade to black scenes it's not smut.

According to Tom Lehrer: "As the judge remarked the day that he acquitted my Aunt Hortense/To be smut it must be ut-/terly without redeeming social importance/Or/The dirty pictures I adore/Indecent magazines galore/I love them more/If they're hardcore..."

I posted a story a while ago (like a year or so) and it's gotten NO traffic. I can't even get it to open for reading on my own page.

How do I post a story again? And how do I delete one?
How many sex scenes in about 34 pages would be considered smut?

I have three.

1. How many edits should your story go through before you post it on here?
2. What is give to the authors whose stories are highly ranked and reviewed?
3. Is there a way to self-promote myself and my story on this site?

1. As many as you'd like/think are necessary. You can also edit after the chapter was published.
2. You can be proud of yourself. We are not a competitive/money oriented site like RR or Webnovel.
3. Crosspost to other novel sites and gain visibility. Can also try social media plattforms. Hope you get on trending here. Build your readership with regular and consistent, but not overwhelming updates.

Thank you for mentioning this. I greatly appreciate it.

No. The postings are still visible in your profile and in the threads. Looks more like a loading bug.

New account. Needed mod approval. Striked ones are hidden.

Oh I see~ always learning something new. I did had such a loading bug in the past though, but it also made everything not clickable.

Thanks so much, I really needed this.

If I'm writing one chapter that will be gory do I put the content warning on for Gore for the story or just a Note at the top of that chapter before it starts?

 

[CharlesEBrown]

If it's only happening in that chapter, on it; if it happens in other chapters too, both. At least that seems to be the standard.

Would the labor day holiday have affected approvals? becaused I scheduled a story to be release yesterday (liek right at midnight CST, 09.01,2025), and while I can find it if I search from another chrome browser in incognito mode, using just my username, I find it, but none of teh chapters are listed on the feed. I'm just saying thats is hasn't gotten any traffic.. my fir book went great guns just off of curiositylinks but this is ZERO across the board, and nothing appearing in the channel feed. Just curious ETA: I ask because I have another 12 chapter scheduled to be release today... and I don't want to schedule anymore until I got this figured out.

So, I use the author’s note to let my readers (if I have any, since I’m still new) know that I created my own thumbnail. I also include two images—one showing the reference and one showing my version. Is that not allowed?
If it isn’t, I’ll go ahead and delete that chapter.

But if it is allowed, could someone please check whether the image is showing properly? I’m using imgBB, but it doesn’t appear on my end.

Thank you all for your hard work!
