its comfy here... i really like the UI and the forms.... probably the only form site I'm on tbh... also people here are a little more lenient with starting authors... i found that out the hard way with Royal Road... i don't blame em.. it was atrocious.. still, the UI is the best.....

The people are pretty chill. RR people seem to know irony only as "describing something like iron, but not it" and think sarcasm is the religion of the evil god Sarcas, Killer of Edges, Destroyer of Destruction, Lamentation of Righteousness, and so on... The moment you as much as think of a joke the fun police there chuck an angry mob at you

I post on SH, WN and FF.net(and patreon I guess though that feels different). However SH is my favourite one. I started out at WN, but not really a fan of the company, the way they do business, and their censorship. So I started looking for alternatives and ended up choosing SH.

FF.net is a mess with terrible search, discoverability, commenting functionality is terrible, and things break regularly. Also is meant for fanfiction which isn't all I write.

Wattpad doesn't have the kind of audience that would prefer my stories and also seems kind of a mess with similar issues I mentioned for FF.net on top of that.

RR denied all my novels so don't even have experience how their website is from an author's perspective.

As for SH itself. The author interface is pretty good, front page is pretty good and not ridiculously cluttered, comments work well, supportive of alternative income streams rather than trying to milk their authors and readers, pretty good discoverability and tagging. Makes at least a decent amount of the information regarding views available to the author.

i wanna know what compels you to publish your story on this platform. do you also post on other sites? tell me wat made ur author brain do so. please?

me?
because i liek their landing page

For me its how easy it is to find new stories. Its ui looks clean and isn’t polluted with hundreds of ads. Something about the websites font just makes it easier on my eyes to read. I also like how I can sort stories Im interested in into different sections. “Reading, Dropped, Read Later, Completed”

They allow incest smut.

I put dishes on every major site I could find and I stayed here because of the community.

This site has better UI and more tags but things said about royalroad community is unfair. Dont know about the forum but comments are fairly chill.
Also the quality is much higher in royalroad.

Yes

 

[RepresentingWrath]

Depends on your luck.

Not having needed to worry about my work getting blacklisted due to having a little too much sexual content. Even though I selected the mature content warning option.
