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!

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

AO3 has a section for original fiction

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 months ago (1 children)

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)

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago

Oh shit. Didn't know that. I already post fanfiction there. That's hella convenient

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.

You could create your own community where anyone could share stories

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

That would be awesome, but I don't have the time to moderate an entire community :/
