Hello everyone.
Before I get into things, let me set some context with regards to the purpose of this thread. I recently realized and noticed through my own scheduling process that the categories section is broken. By that I mean that even while posting, I don't appear on 'Fresh' on the browser versions for both web and mobile. This is not the case with the application, however.
You may find more in this thread I posted yesterday: Is Fresh Search Broken?
This is a big blow to a new creator like me, reliant on Fresh to keep the pull on new readers and subscribers. I can't put my chapters or buffer on hiatus due to a bug, because that's a disservice to my already subscribers. I was at a crossroads about it, and I realized that I needed to make a thread to my benefit to counteract the flawed search engine on Tapas right now.
Why am I going through this? I went through numerous websites like Wattpad, RoyalRoad, WebNovels, and more, and decided on Tapas because of how much it valued new content and creators. Taking a risk after months of deliberation, I don't want to give up on Tapas. I'm inspired by some of the bigger works out there, and I genuinely want to stand toe-to-toe with them someday, and I know I'm not alone in this endeavor.
What will this thread be about?
I'm not putting a hard cap on the amount of subscribers that you have. But if you write in the realm of fantasy, then this thread is for you. I'm restricting it to a genre to avoid an overall clusterfuck in the posts that would follow. Sub-genres are fine as long as your main is fantasy - urban, high, grimdark, anything.
Lastly, as I would have with the fresh section, I promise to check most of what's posted, read a few chapters, and subscribe if I like the content. I've done this for Fresh, I'll do it for you. You have no pressure to subscribe, like, or even read my work as well. Check out the description, read if it catches your fancy, and the rest will follow suit. Keeping it organic!
Also, here's a structure that should help potential readers get a quick understanding of what your work might be about.
Title | Curse of Immortals: Tempestatem
Chapter Count | 13
Update Schedule | Friday, 4:20AM (PST)
Category | High Fantasy (Dark)
Description
Once a talented, young gymnast, Daiden resents his existence after a career-ending injury. In death, he is offered a chance to traverse into Mioverold, a decaying world cursed with immortality.
With a new body and reawakened ambition, Daiden now prepares for life in a fantastical, war-torn world, with a simple promise - to leave a generational mark.
Lastly, if this works, and you'd like it, I'll have this thread closed every week and refreshed on Saturdays. I hope this helps everyone out there as much as I hope it helps me.
Cheers. Good luck!
