I can't open my books—clicking on them just shows a 404 error. I can still see them in the backend, but none of the chapters are visible. What's going on? Did the site just update? Did I violate some rule? Could someone please help me figure this out? I'd really appreciate it.

I've been writing on this platform for a long time, and this is the first time I've encountered this issue. I don't have any backups—this is absolutely terrible.

I take it the four titles you've got on Royal Road are not published here?

By the way, this is gonna be a strange question, but does the phrase "That orange that happens to love fish" mean anything to you?

Translations are forbidden content. They won't be restored. Goodbye.

In what sense are translations forbidden. Even of one's own story?
Translation of your own story is allowed, but the general advice is to clear it with Tony beforehand and a number of them have been hit in the wake of the mass ban of translations anyway, it's not clear why.

I think there should be some kind of description of what to do. For example, here they write for those who want to report a translation.

I have stated in the annotation:
This is a translation of my story from my native language into English

It is like RR. Write on all other sites that you are publishing here on SH, and most importantly write in the synopsis of original in English that you are publishing the translated version here on SH.

In what sense? I have to leave a link to this resource there. In some, they don't work, and some sites are just pirated or mirrors with a different annotation, and I can't specify anything there. Out of 20 sites, I can only mention three. Although my real name as the author is listed everywhere.

:meowsip: Then just use those available to you. I doubt that the pirates can publish chapters faster than you if you are the original author. If you are, then screenshot with time stamp. Because a lot of people can theoretically claim that they are the author.

To confirm your authorship, moderators only need to have an account on the key website and receive confirmation in a private message from the author there. All these references to another source are unnecessary.

I think about how they work, they should talk about themselves in general announcements, not through word of mouth.
Now, those whose text has been hidden have not received any notifications about the reason. They only discovered it after checking their stories. It happened silently, and there was no notification about the new rules.
Do not shoot the massager.
This also applies to you.
