'Webnovels' seem to be a growing thing.
Bigger in asia than they are here, these are very long stories published in serial on novel publishing platforms like webnovel.com (english language).
Sometimes the publishing platforms lock new chapters to paid users only and share out the proceeds spotify style. Sometimes authors use patreon with early access to chapters as a reward.
Maybe look into something like this and, if it doesn't exist in Germany, be happy and use your own writings to seed a platform like that?
- Qwertystop 8y agoThere's also a decent number of webnovels (sometimes perhaps too long to be a novel, may or may not be split into distinct books) without a unifying platform, just individual per-book sites - four that come to mind from different authors are Edally Academy, Practical Guide to Evil, Worm, and UNSONG (all different flavors of fantasy/sci-fi). At least the first and third of those are by authors who have also done other things with their own distinct sites. The sites often have links for works by other authors, as well. It might be a bit harder to break in that way than through a platform, but it's still much easier than print publishing.
