Rating is a number from 1-5 that you give to show how much you like/dislike a story.

A review is when you write your thoughts on the story, about what is good/bad about it.

Most people don't bother with reviewing things, so having more ratings is perfectly normal.

I wanted to ask if I could have dialogue in other languages. The rest of the story is english but I wanted to have some dialogue lines in Japanese for effect.

I'm new to Scribble Hub, so please excuse me if my details are off. Yesterday I submitted The Ardents. I am unable to find it via search, and am wondering if there is a button or checkbox I missed. May I please have some help? It has been 28 hours, so I think it's okay to ask now.

You need to wait a bit before your story get the permission, depending on Tony shedule, he the only one who can grant permission so sometime it take time.

If it’s not up after 48hrs, then open a thread in Bug Reports. (It will be seen there more likely than dms.) Have seen that it could take longer than 1 day, but any longer than 48hrs is usually a sign that something went wrong.

It's been roughly 48 hours since I published my first chapter. I can't tell with certainty, but it's pretty close. Did I miss a button or a checkbox?

go to bug reports, the story is online, why it is not searchable is out of the scope of normal users

Feel like this FAQ needed to be updated

Q: If Tony is only staff member here, how fast does he read, to be able to verify all new uploads with only 12 hour queue?

Q2: is there a site similar to "content guidelines" that would explain tags?

Tony is obviously not on the same realm as us mortals. (Idk, but he probs only read the synopsis? And presumingly has a bot to discover nsfw covers.)

There are a two or so threads on the forum that explain the tags.

Only found the genre thread, but something official doesn't exist

I can't believe I'm this late to ask, but how does the "signature" feature work? I thought it worked automatically but now I'm confused, I think I imagined setting it up and didn't actually do it. Now that I looked into it, I'm not even sure how.

A thread on the FAQ that most general users will have for the website.

Spoiler: Q) I just released my story on SH and I don't see it anywhere on the main page?

A) Stories are manually approved, thus you should wait around 12 hours for it to appear on the website.

Spoiler: Q) I just released a new chapter and it's not on the main page?

A1) If you had changed the order of your table of content then the anti-cheat system kicked in to prevent people from trying to move their old chapters to the main page.
A2) If you had released a chapter before that had the same title/chapter content before and deleted it just to upload it again then the anti-cheat system kicked in to prevent people from trying to move their chapter back to the main page.

Spoiler: Q) What content isn't allowed?

A) Take a look at our Content Guideline: https://www.scribblehub.com/content-guidelines/

Spoiler: Q) When's a good time to release my chapter?

A) There's no specific good time to release your story, ideally, you want to randomise your schedule so you can get different users from different timezone.

Spoiler: Q) How does Trending work?

A) Trending makes use of different metrics of stats that are hidden in order to prevent people "gaming" the system. Thus, you shouldn't worry about trending and just focus on improving your writing!

Spoiler: Q) Can I post to other websites?

A) ScribbleHub does not have an exclusivity rule (unless you participate in contests which state otherwise) hence you are free to post your stories to other websites and vice versa.

Spoiler: Q) Do we have a discord?

A) We do! If you scroll to the bottom of SH main page, you'll find the discord icon next to our twitter account. Click on it and you are good to go.

Spoiler: Q) What do I do if I feel like I'm being targeted and being given unfair negative ratings?

A) You can report the series and it will be manually checked. However, the website has its own security methods against bots and etc so you shouldn't worry too much.

The FAQ list is subject to changes!

Edit it again.

We have a new subject:

-Is it allowed to post a different story using an alt?

Basically, those people have a main account where they write normal stories and want to know whether it's safe to write a smut using an alt or not.
