Want to write a novel-length story and I want to post it somewhere as I write for others to see and enjoy and critique. Idk where to post it though.
Any suggestions would be appreciated!
AO3 has a section for original fiction
Oh shit. Didn’t know that. I already post fanfiction there. That’s hella convenient
ao3 only accepts fan works :/
original works are for original works linked to fandom
Good point, their policies are rather complex. Or maybe I got it mixed up with FictionPress (both have similar colors)
You could create your own community where anyone could share stories
That would be awesome, but I don’t have the time to moderate an entire community :/
Check out the literature.cafe instance, people there will know a good community to post in.
Webnovel, Penana, Wattpad, Booksie and Mediaminer.
I read a lot of self-published stuff here https://www.royalroad.com/home
Ooo! That looks neat!
You can start a blog with something like WordPress and post it there. I believe that’s how Andy Weir started releasing The Martian.
If you need help, I could walk you through what you need to do. There’s also ActivityPub integration now, so people could read it from the fediverse.
A lot of webserials post on blogger sites or places like Royal Road.
I suppose you could use a personal blog (I use dreamwidth, you can enable anonymous comments on posts), or make up a personal neocities page
