I uploaded my story the other day and it doesnt show up when I search it... Does it take awhile to pop up or something?

Its called "One With The Swarm"

usually its within 4-8 hours at most. Unless it got caught in the crossfire of the recent purge that happened a couple days ago.

I searched and didn't see it, but it's easier to add it to your signature when asking things related to your story. Link below for instructions.

Maybe it did, but I can still see my story page if I go to 'Create' and follow the link there. I think I might of been marked as a spammer because I uploaded the first 10 chapters of my story to start with, then setup like 20 chapters to upload daily at a set time. It's a story I finished on RR that was pretty popular there, (considering its my first story anyway) but Royal Road is for litRPGs mainly and my story is a scifi kingdom builder. I wanted to see how well it does here.

I'll email scribblehub about it and ask.

Probably a good idea, but be aware that it's just one guy, and he is being bombarded with hate emails right now from translators and others who broke the rules and were purged. It might be a while before you get a reply.

You might be one of unfortunate authors (like me) whose work got caught in the deluge of pending new works, and will be released in batches.

If that's the case, in can take several days. And your story's visibility severely affected.

Well it'll be alright after that right? Or is it a permanent thing where I should just remove my story and upload it again in a few weeks? Figures I join the site right when it's having all these problems.

That's fine so long as it gets handled soon. As far as I know my story doesn't break any rules, i'm not translating anything and its an original story of mine.

Bro, take it down and resubmit it -_- the approval bot gets stuck from time to time. and don't post all 10 chapters. get your title, cover, and first chapter approved first. then start posting additional chapter.

Too easy. happens all the time. I don't why everybody took you down a rabbit hole. Just resubmit it.

Yeah, though it might take a long while (as in days) before it gets officially 'listed' on your 'Creation' list (thus, readers will easily see it). Even much worse was that you might miss the 'New Releases' part, hence your visibility might suffer.

Okay, I'll upload it again and check tomorrow. Thanks.

I'll try to upload it again and if it's not up in 2 days I'll just wait a couple weeks or see what the mods say.

Best of luck to you! Mine took about five (5) days before, and when it finally came out, it's buried deep into 'New Releases' so I think your course of action might be best.
