Webnovel, wattpad, rr, all the rest. And where can I find a place to potentially get money from writing.

Ko-fi, as far as I know, has no downsides other than being limited in countries. If that's the case, then pay-pal is your only option.

And I recently found out there are people who stream themselves writing on twitch, try that

If you are not from Russia, then probably Patreon and ko-fi.

Wait, does being a minor matters?
Also, if it does matter, then you can just work on your writing skills first, by the time you are famous enough that people would want to support you with money, I am sure you would be an adult

It does. You need like credit cards and like business address and stuff, just really annoying.
Can you ask your parents or older sibling for help?
No older siblings and parents dont know I'm writing, and for...safety reasons, I'm going to keep it that way. At least until something big happens or whatever

Then it can't be helped, I'm pretty sure minor won't work out on either Patreon on Kofi.

Even being a contracted author on WebNovel required one to be of age 18 and above, or an adult that can help with bank matters and such.

Ok. Then the best thing to do would be to follow Agentt's advice. If you need a year or two to reach adulthood, write all that time. Gauge what people would read, train your writing skills, stockpile chapters for Patreon, etc. By the time you are an adult you will be ready to open a Patreon, ko-fi or maybe even sign a contract with a trustworthy site like SH or RR.

RR: It's pretty cool but it'll take some time for you to gain an audience unless you write LitRPG.
SH: Pretty noob friendly and way easier to gain an audience, but it's hard to gauge your skills as a writer since everyone gives 5-stars like they're lollipops at a carnival.
WN: I never wrote hear, but from what I heard, it's the easiest method for you to gain an audience, but they'll pay you crap while you work your ass off and god forbid if you want to write a female lead doing badass stuff, cause they'll practically force you into romance if you have a female lead. Also I'm pretty sure they hate gay people.

As for money stuff, it depends. I'm currently working on my backlog and setting up a subscribestar account since my novel is too NSFW for patreon. It all depends on what you write and what you want to pay in order to get payed.

Sh gives 5star.... That's probably the best joke I hv heard in my entire life but then again sh is an lgbtq site where straight novels are frowned upon.

Derpy, if you are under 18, than I PROMISE YOU, your writing reflects it. Keep practicing the craft of actual writing until you are 18. By then you will have studied story structure so that you can KNOW if your product is good enough.

Learn (and use) the three act structure. then you can talk about money.

No, SH is absolutely not a LGBT site. SH is a GENDERBEND site (guys become girls, wear dresses, but still think like guys).

SH readers are not partial to BL or GL. They read it, but you won't see 700 followers on a pure GL or BL story.

As for standard-Black-haired-hetero male MC, he has a huge audience on SH. Just so long as he's trapped in a system (Litrpg) and has a Romance-less Harem. (sex and him solving surface problems, but not more depth than that since these virgin authors up here wouldn't know how to write a female character if one cut their tongue out.)

I've heard of people losing their patreon account for posting non-pc stuff. Since my story is filled with things like sex, both legal and non-legal, though never glorified, can get a patreon banned just for having that type of stuff, no matter if its glorified or frowned upon.

As an example, an indie visual novel that I absolutely love had a patreon account. However, it's NSFW and the main idea of the story is that the main character is reincarnated into the body of a highschool teacher and he can't remember his past. I think you can see where I'm going with this. Although the game never glorifies what the MC is doing, in fact, it keeps on talking about how much of a bad person he is for doing what he does, it still got banned off of patreon.

If you want to know what the game is, it's called Lessons in Love and I highly recommend it if you love a good story. Although the puzzles that occur sometimes can be a bitch since you got to memorize several small details from previous events, and there's a lot of hidden content. It just finished it's second chapter, which equals to around 20h+ of gameplay and sometime in the summer its going to start on chapter 3.
