Or something. I'm not sure what you would call this so I'll try and explain it as best as I can. I've seen it done on other sites in their forums but it went under different names, and both sites I was on that did this, both are no longer in usage so I couldn't possibly show you a visual example. One was bought out and all of its user's incorporated into wattpad and I can't be bothered to play the internal popularity politics that control who is and isn't successful there. (And anyone who says skill determines anything on wattpad either hasn't used it, is a flat out lying bastard, or simply naive.) Those that were good and popularly read, and also WEREN'T very social with many other users as well as multiple moderators, are exceptions on Wattpad, not the norm. The other site also died, and most of its people eventually migrated to getunderlined.....which is a weird place. Completely different from what those people migrated from but they liked it and I didn't so oh well. I fell out of the loop. A common theme on my part.
Anyway, it's where you post a chapter, (usually chapter one, or a prologue, sometimes a snippet though that just depends on the content and/or quantity) and they would see if anyone was interested in seeing more. That way if an acceptable number of people took a liking to it, they would then upload it to the site as normal and well....keep posting it of course. I guess its kind of like an "Interest Checker", though from what I've seen elsewhere, that's usually used in forums for posting a summary to see if its grabs anyone. Not for actual content itself.
Does anyone have any idea what I'm getting at?
