Anyone use Inkspired?

Has anyone posted on Inkspired? (https://getinkspired.com/en/)

I just found out about and decided to go ahead and start crossposting there too, but I thought I'd see if anyone here has any experience with the site?

I never have but the readers on there seem scarce when I just checked. It seems most comments were just authors asking people to read their stories.

Kind of the vibe I was getting as well. Plus the forums there are basically dead. I'm going to do a month trial and see how it goes, but yeah my hopes aren't too high

The market is so saturated I dare say never hope at all. Anywhere anymore. hahaha

Haha I think the response on Tapas spoiled me for anything else! I'm doing all right on Inkitt too, but Tapas had been my best place to post so far

I've been maintaining a quite comprehensive list of web fiction websites across the internet for a while now, and I've found a whole bunch of websites... But I've never even heard of Inkspired until today. I don't yet track the ones that are app-only, so maybe the website end of this only started really recently? Either way, it doesn't seem too active, and from what I have observed, these kinds of sites don't often cultivate much of a readership; it just becomes a place for people from other sites to crosspost their stories from elsewhere.

Pretty cool compilation! Thanks! There's a lot on here I haven't heard of

The thing is, Inkspired's main demographic are Spanish speakers (I'm mexican).

They have a writing mobile app, free, that is quite good, I've used it a couple of times.

Also as a former neopets lover, a big part of me wants to upload to neovel just because of the website name lmao

Ah! That must be it; it's not primarily an English site, so the English side of it isn't very popular yet. that might explain how it flew completely under my radar.

Hahaha; Neovel is a pretty new site and some of my friends have posted to there, but I don't have any experience with it yet myself. Sadly most of those sites are a lot less popular than Tapas on the novels side (but, luckily, the readers have very little overlap, so posting there might mean brand-new readers!).

By the way, your list is quite nice. Pinned as favorite.
