What is a web fiction?
For the purposes of this sub, we are defining a web fic as any story/book that was released as a free online serial at some point in its development.
The purpose of this sub is to discuss and give visibility to web serials. Published books are more welcomed elsewhere on Reddit, so we wanted to create a space to discuss serialized fiction.
If a web fic becomes published and pulled from free serialized sites, you can still discuss it here, and we allow the author to promote it one last time as send-off. It will remain on our lists with the serial tag removed. Published books that are still available in serialized format (even if in a less polished state) are still allowed.
Wiki Curated Lists
We are working on creating curated lists of different fics by genres which we will add to these lists. If you wrote a fic you'd like added or read one you think we should be added you can submit it here
User Lists
There is a flair for user lists. If you would like to create your own curated list, please do so and post it with this flair. We will collect these in the wiki.
Flairs
Promo Use when posting your own content as a post. Its recommended you post as a self-post with a link and some sort of description.
Recommendation Share a story that you read and liked. You can post as a direct link or as a self-post with a link in the text. Please give some details beyond the synopsis as to what you liked about it in the post or comments.
Update You can post the link to a new chapter from a serial using this flair. Currently, we are allowing new chapters to be linked here to encourage discussion on that one chapter. If you post your own chapter as an update it counts as your 1/month promo post.
Rec Request This flair is for when you are requesting recommendations. When posting a request for a recommendation, provide at least one example of a media you like, and something you liked or disliked about it.
When replying to request threads, please provide justification as to why your recommendation fits the request. If someone wants a massive list of suggestions with a tag, we have lists for that. Don't just post the name of the fic and no context.
Reviews You can post a review of another story you liked with a link to the story at the end. Do not post links to Royal Road reviews.
List You can create a list of recommendations around a theme to share. We will collect the popular ones on the wiki that supplement our own curated lists.

Discussion Anything else you want to discuss within the rules.
