Hi guys, new here, got a few questions.

1) Can I post my wattpad story here, and I have no contract with them?
2) Can I use AI cover for the story cover?
3) Can I have have every chapter with an AI picture to illustrate the chapter, just a single picture for every single chapter.

Many thanks

  1. As long as it isn't under contract anywhere and doesn't violate the minimum guidelines, you can post it on Tapas. And posting to Tapas doesn't automatically put you under contract.

2-3. Their policy, under Content and Community Guidelines ( https://help.tapas.io/hc/en-us/articles/115005323707-Content-and-Community-Guidelines ) is no, you can't use AI anything. Because of its possibility of accidentally infringing on copyright. That said, as long as you're not trying to sell it at all, if you do an image search to make sure you're pictures don't exist (or copy) an existing picture, if you repurpose/edit those pictures be more 'yours', and if you're not claiming credit, then it's highly unlikely that they'll check into it.

If you want a platform that allows ai art (especially if you're doing the above for copyright purposes), reamstories.com allows it. It's a subscription/publishing platform specifically for authors. It's just a little clunky right now for pictures, though not impossible (I've experimented :joy:).

Here are the Content rules straight from Tapas' Terms of Service.
I suggest finding free to use stock images for your cover and chapter illustrations, or just skip the chapter illustrations entirely. Canva is a tool that many creators use to make their covers. Just be sure not to use their AI features.
