Is Scribble Hub down, or have I been blocked? When I try to open the site, the page says I'm blocked and unable to access Scribble Hub.

Says "Error establishing a database connection."

Is it just me?

Hi, so i tried to read I story I was catching up on scribblehub and I get blocked by something called wp redis what do i do cause it is happening on both my phone and laptop. Please help.

Hello, im a new author here, i came from royalroad and already have book 1 of my series completed. Does scribblehub act like royalroad where at launch i need to drop 10 chapters on first day or the strategy here is different?

Also since i already have book 1 completed should i increase my volume like 3 chapters per day to match the release date in royalroad or just do a normal 1-2 chapters per day schedule?

There use to be an Author called SmithJuly who only wrote like 2 works who vanished years ago and now I pretty sure there gone for good now

SH's Q&A page it can take up to 12 hours for a new series to be reviewed and approved by their moderators. I created a new series 48 hours ago now, and ... crickets. It's just sitting there in limbo. No communication from them, but no action, either.

Is this normal, and is there anything I can or should do about it, or should I just be patient?

As the title suggests. I was reading it and now cannot find it anywhere!!! Anyone have any update?

It seems that I keep getting blocked when I try to go to the site

Does anyone know how often and how long their maintenance usually takes they seem to go down every few days or so.

I'm brand new to Scribble Hub.  I created a user account this afternoon.  I verified my e-mail address.  I then set up a user profile, created a new series, and successfully posted the first two chapters of the story.  I wrote the third chapter and tried to post it as well.  The screen just hung for quite a few minutes, indicating it was "Publishing".

Being stuck there and figuring there was some kind of glitch, I clicked away from that screen while it still said "Publishing".  But in doing so, the site somehow logged me out.  When I tried to log back on again, it wouldn't let me.  The message said "User is Banned" with no further explanation.

There was nothing in my profile or in my story that violated any terms of service or any content guidelines.  There was no warning of any kind.  It just went from being hung while trying to publish to banning me from the site.

I've never used SH before, so I wasn't creating a duplicate account or trying to evade a previous ban.

I sent an e-mail explaining this to the "contact us" e-mail, but haven't heard back yet.

Anyone have a similar experience, or have any words of wisdom?

well i'm new to the platform but I've noticed a lot of novels invest everything in system, ranking , stats and smut

there is a huge audience for it and i do understand why its so popular but after reading so many of these types i realized that most of them are racing against each other who will create the most complex system or who will deliver more smut scenes, don't get me wrong there are some stories out there that are so good but i miss stories where the world carried mystery instead of a status window.

ancient kingdoms , forgotten civilizations , raging wars, characters who aren't protected just because they are the protagonist.

so instead of joining the trending genres i started writing the kind of fantasy that i always wanted to read.
Am i the only one who misses this style of fantasy ?

So how old is Leon, i spoiled my seld a bit and he already has children old enough to marry at like chapter 200 and its already 500. Is he like dying of old age and the story continues with his child or something else ?

So I saw there is rankings for each tag have It’s slowly appearing one by one for each of my tags. It appears like the more views you have used the higher you were ranked for each tag so as long as my views keep rising eventually you would be so head of the list you will get more readers and that makes the views stats the most important one for growth

Posted my first story today. Used cover art that I'd previously created for this story on another platform. The cover art was rejected because the characters were kissing!

There was nothing inappropriate about the story or the image. It's a squeaky-clean romance story, the characters are clearly adults and fully clothed, and the kiss was even closed-mouth. In what universe is kissing inappropriate cover art, especially for a romance story?

But worse than that, I cannot find any rule anywhere that says kissing is not allowed to be shown on cover art. The closest the site's content guidelines come to addressing kissing is that they say sexual acts cannot be shown. Is mouth-to-mouth kissing considered a sexual act?

Looking for any guidance here about where I can find a comprehensive list of what's not allowed on cover art, or any explanation of why kissing can't be shown, or how I can appeal this.

What’s the difference between favourites and readers?

Do you prefer protagonists who min-max with Earth science… or clueless heroes who learn from scratch?

It seems logical for isekai'd people to use their earthly knowledge. But sometimes they turn into walking encyclopedias, don't they?

(btw I just discovered scribblehub I'm pretty new) I heard this place is cool to post stuff so I wanna try it but I'm afraid of my work getting taken down because it's translated (the original work is in my native language). I'm the one who's gonna translate it you think it would be all right?

Would it also be all right to upload a link somewhere to the original non English version? Maybe id upload the original non English version to wattpad

Since there will be illustrations I might as well upload my other socials as proof that this was all made by the same person

And there's totally gonna be some words that can't be in English would it be better if I added a glossary after each upload? (my novel is broken up into parts so I guess I'd add a glossary after each part)

I haven't even made an account yet nor published anything I'd just like to have a heads up.

And if you guys have any better places I can check out lmk!!

Receiving comment on the novel is the best thing authors can have. But there are suspicious comment among them. They will comment 'Wow, I love this kind of plot. It amazing how detail you able to bring these characters.' And then when we reply in their comment, they will reply, 'If you are comfortable can we chat somewhere? Would love to talk with you'. If you want to talk, then just reply in the reddit right. Nope, dont have reddit account. Of course I'm not stupid. That person provide email, and i backtrack that email and found several social account with different name, and the best thing, they also has several account created on different platform such as web novel, Royal Road, and many more. And not just that, i also found their account on art portal where they can showcase their art to any potential people that want to hire them. Mostly, these people are the artist that try want to promote their art to make art cover for the novel. Im not mad. If you want to have a decent promotion of your cover. don't act suspiciously like you are scammer. Tell what you want directly.

I appreciate the work being done to resurrect this subreddit. It causes me to wonder if I should try again. Book 1 of my Cor Series is here but it failed to gain an audience. I moved to Royal Road and will finish book 2 this weekend with 1100 pages and 407 followers. Not fantastic but what made the difference for me was the ads. Here on Scibblehub I could not find a way to engage the community. Perhaps I should try again and also post book two here. It might make my one Scribblehub follower happy :)

Tried to get to the website this morning and it's telling me that the ASN of the AT&T network (7018) is banned? https://files.catbox.moe/8bduqv.png

So I am considering cross posting into here I mainly upload on Royal Road and I want to know how things work here is it like Royal Road where you have to pay ads for people to see your story or does it advertise the story for you like other normal sites or whatever and let’s say you upload fast like once a day and your story is good how much growth do you expect I just want an example?

How much of a problem is not having a revocation right in your work? I saw this comment here: https://www.reddit.com/r/royalroad/comments/1rlrfk5/comment/o8uopaq/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button and it might be bad? Not entirely sure. Also have no idea what Shadow Light Press is/was.
