@GentleGentleman

You have to spend a lot of time on socials to get all the chatter on Reddit. And I unfortunately am on that list. Reddit is near the bad side of town on the Internet, definitely on the wrong side of the railroad tracks.

@ineedadrink Not really my vibe, but thanks

@ChampagneOnIce There was Booksie but it appears to have gone away. I had actually forgotten about it as it was a nice site.

@ineedadrink That’s sad

@DunningKruger Royal Road is a popular, free online platform where authors publish and read serialized web novels.

Niche focus: It specializes heavily in fantasy, science fiction, LitRPG (stories with video game stats and leveling), and progression fantasy.

Serialization: Authors release stories one chapter at a time on regular schedules, such as weekly or daily updates.

Community favorites: Hits like Defiance of the Fall and He Who Fights with Monsters started on the site before moving to commercial publishing.

Platform Vibe and Community

Wattpad comparison:
It is similar to Wattpad, but caters more to male readers and specific geek-culture genres rather than young adult romance.

Active interaction:
Readers leave chapter comments, rate stories, and support up-and-coming writers through reviews or platforms like Patreon.

The "Stubbing" trend: Successful authors often remove ("stub") most of their chapters from the free site once their books get picked up for official release on Amazon Kindle.

@DunningKruger
Scribble Hub is a relaxed, community-driven online platform for reading and writing serialized web novels.

ReadersNiche and Diverse Content: The site is popular for original fiction, light novels, and niche genres like Isekai (portal fantasy), progression fantasy, LGBTQ+ themes, and harem stories.

Tag and Search System: It features a detailed tag-based discovery system that helps you find specific tropes or filter out content you dislike.

Community Vibe: Readers are generally supportive and active in the comments, and reviews tend to be less harsh compared to larger, more competitive sites.

@DunningKruger Thanks. I’ll look into those.

@BrandNewMan Yeah? I guess that’s good. Will miss you.

@ChampagneOnIce Not saying I'll leave again. I may be here less though and doubt I'd be looking for anything in addition.

@BrandNewMan Good :)

@sarabee1995 I like to write but never really considered myself a writer, per se. I just write what I feel. It helps me process strong emotions.

I remember the stories you shared back on EP. You wrote quite a bit then, from what I remember, but that was years ago. I hope you’ll find time to write again someday. I liked how you expressed yourself.

@sarabee1995 Thank you for your kind words and for telling me about it. I will check out the site.

Yes, life gets crazy busy, but I want to live a full life that includes making time for what brings me joy.

@ChampagneOnIce I'm not on twitter and can't remember much about it when I checked it out.
I think a little but somewhat different.

@ChampagneOnIce it’s a lot like Twitter/X. Similar format

@JohnnyNoir That’s what I thought

It had the community of here but without all the pervs and explicit sexual content. Though there were a lot of erotica writers the place never became a home for the types of perversions you find here. There were also a lot less trolls.

Catfish were a bit of a thing but not overly pervasive.

I miss the people more than the stories I lost. You would have fit right in and you would have loved it.

My name there was The Silent Sentinel in case anyone’s wondering.

@HikingMan Yeah, ideally, it would have a community feel. I’m looking for a place like this but with more people who share substance.

@ChampagneOnIce
I hardly ever share my substances...
I'm a BYOB type of guy 😊

@ChampagneOnIce there are writers doing interesting work there. Haven’t really looked for fiction or erotica tho. I’m thinking about starting a photo page there

@JohnnyNoir What exactly is it, is it more than just stories?

@Magenta it’s a site full of writers on any number of topics.

@Rutterman Yeah, and I always write more than that. 😄

@ChampagneOnIce @ChampagneOnIce onlyfans

@taynaraaa666 Oh. No thanks. 😄

@ChampagneOnIce my bad you meant a reading site lol sorry mate
