Interesting. Thank you for the recommendation! I’ll have to look it up. It sounds interesting.

Pretty sure they’re the ones killing the competition. A lot of the fictions that used to be exclusive top rated fics on other sites found their way onto RR. Half the series on topwebfiction are RR series now and a good portion of the ones that aren’t are found on both sites now.

The site is infamous for cold hard criticism. A lot of authors that avoid the site do so because they say the site is toxic.

The site also has a strong patreon support. It’s famous as the site with rich users. There are fictions there like “He Who Fights With Monsters” that gets more than 10 000 dollars a month from subscribers there. “Legend of Randidly Ghosthound” gets 7 000 dollars a month. Those aren’t even top rated fictions. The site rewards regular posting. These are fics that have large numbers of patreon exclusive chapters and they post consistently.

I have used others, but none of those websites exist now.

Thank you so much! Unfortunately, I’m really busy and I barely have enough time for my own blog, much less guest writing for another blog. But thank you for the offer and good luck blogging!

What an exciting concept you’re working on! I hope it goes well. I’m rather too busy to be a beta reader again, but I wish you luck in your endeavor.

This was a super helpful post, thank you for sharing. I am researching what platforms exist to connect readers and writers and building a new one that I hope will provide something similar to what it seems FictionPress used to offer. Let me know if you’d like to connect as a beta user of the site, or just to chat and share your insights and advise. I would absolutely love to hear your thoughts, particularly on the community aspects as that is something I think will be very important.

You can email me at elijah.maletz@gmail.com.

Thanks,

Elijah

I could not agree with you more, about both sights! I haven’t been on Fictionpress or fanfiction quite as long as you (only since about 2012), but even in that time it’s gotten a lot worse. Like you, I always wanted the cold hard truth of my stories, and hated those one line comments. As for Wattpad…yeah…it’s really bad, geared towards a teenage romance audience. I agree that probably having your own blog or website is rather the best way to share your stories online. Good luck with restoring your website!
