Should I hide the fact I'm from Royalroad?

[Ararara]

Yo. New writer here, it just occured to me to double-check:

Is there any kind of beef between ScribbleHub and Royalroad? Will other authors (or worse, the readers) hate me if and when they find out? I know some webfiction sites hate other webfiction sites.

 

[RepresentingWrath]

Yes, SH hates RR.

 

[FGCCheckmate]

85 percent of the stories here are just reposts of RR stories.

A fair bit of the people here are those who left RR for reasons that are dependant on the person. A few of the reasons are the constricting rules of the site and the toxic community but again, it varies from person to person. That said, if you aren't toxic then no one will mind. There are a lot of good stories on RR but their community has given it a poor reputation.

Ah, I see. So this place is a bit more chill, reader-wise.

Jokes aside, readers don't care. Sometimes people on the forum that came from RR or like RR more will belittle SH. So you can assume that RR has some kind of bias towards SH, not the other way around.

Readers barely comment on this site. They probably barely even read, considering how few views my latest chapters get.
Or maybe that's just for me and my stories since I can't write.

Pretty much, depending on the person.

I used to be on Royal Road.

'Nuff said.

 

[CarburetorThompson]

I tried Royal Road, but their forums are so boring

I dont think you need to hide it.

Yep.

Secondary question, now that people are already here, is there a way to turn off my signature when I post? I don't really want to spam my fiction-link every time I post, but only on a rare few occasions!

Or, should I make it smaller?

The GL fanbase will hate you if you don't write GL. They will also hate you if you write GL. It's complicated.

Probably make it smaller. Though I don't know why you wouldn't want the free advertisement.

I think it works better in smaller doses. Similar things on other platforms (reddit, twitter). Mostly provide actual content / answers / discussions, then hit 'em with the surprise (and genuinely unwilling) shilling only every now and then. But yeah, maybe I'm just shy

Hello, welcome. This place is wild, in a good way.

Not to my knowledge. Good luck with your writing, and I hope that you will get tons of readers here.

Just posted a comment. A legit one. I liked what I read. So, no more saying you can't write.
