For the signup, you should display your privacy policy, and probably any information related to licensing. As an author, I don't want to just throw my work on some site and have it come back to bit me later. :)
The layout looks decent, and works nicely on a phone, which is where I do a lot of reading. I like how you've handled multiple chapters.
In the future, adding a search box, or maybe the ability to define tags, and search by those would be nice to see. (Thinking of the point where the site could host thousands of stories)
- I hope this comes across as constrictive criticism, and not bashing :)
- rayalez 11y agoThank you for the awesome feedback! You can find the search box and a list of tags on the stories page: http://fictionhub.io/browse/ http://fictionhub.io/browse/ In terms of licensing - I have not dealt with any legal issues yet, but all the rights to submitted stories belong to their authors.
- dangerlibrary 11y agoYou need some basic rights just to do digital distribution. There is an implicit "well they uploaded it, so they must want it distributed/published," but that's a legal headache waiting to happen.

- rayalez 11y agoI'll talk to the professional lawyer and ask about how to do this right. But legal technicalities aside, my intention is to make the licensing maximally favorable for writers, so that everyone preserves all the rights to their work.
