I don´t understand

I recently started to use the Tappastic App on Mobile. Was pretty suprised to find Novels there!
But why did they not add the feauture for all creators to be able to upload Novels? Or wait, can you just upload Novels anyway, just nobody I saw did it so far? Like if you upladed the pages as Images?
I know it would change the whole target of Tappastic, but did they not kinda accept that when they started to have Top Creators add Storys? Or am i Missing something?

Yeah just recently a guy was going around posting about his light novels, where the text were just image files. So you could do that.

And I imagine Tap hasn't opened novel submissions to the general public for quality control. I know they have a deal with some publishing company for the current novels they're showcasing.

Hi! An open platform to upload novels and other text-based stories is currently in the works. We'll let the community know when that's ready!

In the meantime, if you're interested in submitting stories, please refer to this form.

Thank you for the answers! That sounds very exciting.
What exactly is meant with fanbase? I´d say I have some readers on other website, but they´re all for a different language.
Can I ask you how long it´ll take until it´s available for everyone? As in months or years?

"Fanbase" just means whatever number of followers/readers you may have prior to filling out the form. If your readers are from a different language, it doesn't hurt to still include them.

Haha, it certainly won't take years, but unfortunately, we can't commit to a set date. We hope to have it running within the next several months if everything runs smoothly!
