How to post on Scribble Hub: series, chapters, tags and community

Scribble Hub's homepage is titled "The Home of Original Stories", and the site's own pages sketch a platform built for webnovel-style serials: a genre list that runs from Action and Fantasy to Isekai, LitRPG, Harem and Smut, a long tail of tags, and reader-facing statistics more public than most platforms dare to be. This guide covers posting there using only what Scribble Hub's own FAQ, content guidelines and finder pages state. Scribble Hub documents itself more thinly than Royal Road does; where its pages are silent, so is this guide.

Creating a series and posting chapters

Logged in, the Create menu offers Create New Series and Create New Chapter, plus community items: collections, reading lists, artwork and announcements. The mechanics the authors' FAQ documents:

• A new series needs approval. Wait 12 hours after posting your first chapter for it to be approved; once approved, new releases show up within 5 minutes of posting.
• Author statistics update every 24 hours.
• The chapters-per-week figure shown on series listings is calculated from all releases in the past 30 days, then rounded up.
• The editor has documented quirks, with the FAQ's own workaround: right-click in the text area to paste, because the keyboard shortcut can be blocked.

Genres, tags and the Series Finder

The Series Finder is the platform's search surface, and the clearest statement of its vocabulary:

• Genres number around thirty, from Action, Adventure, Comedy and Drama through Ecchi, Fanfiction, Fantasy, Gender Bender, Boys Love, Girls Love, Harem, Historical, Horror, Isekai, Josei, LitRPG, Martial Arts, Mature, Mecha, Mystery, Psychological, Romance, School Life, Sci-fi, Seinen, Slice of Life, Smut, Sports, Supernatural and Tragedy. Adult-oriented genres sitting beside conventional ones is the visible sign of the platform's webnovel inheritance.
• Tags run to a much longer, finer-grained list of tropes, and a request-tags page exists for tags that do not exist yet.
• The finder's content warnings are Gore, Sexual Content and Strong Language; its status filter is Completed, Ongoing or Hiatus.
• Sorting is by public numbers: chapters, chapters per week, favorites, pageviews, ratings, readers, reviews, total words, date added and last update.

Content rules, in Scribble Hub's own words

• Stories must be original: owned by the author or posted with permission. Fanfiction is allowed but cannot add donation links.
• Stories must be in English. Non-English stories and translations are not accepted, and poems, story ideas and drawings are not accepted as series.
• Content aimed at readers 17 or older is expected to carry a content warning: gore, sexual content or strong language.
• Pornographic stories are prohibited; the guidelines describe the banned case as a story that is "basically porn without a plot". Sexual content requires characters who are at least 18, non-consensual sexual content may not be encouraged, and certain acts are prohibited outright.
• AI has a measured rule: "You can use AI to help create your stories but most of the story should still be written by you." Stories created mostly by AI are rejected.
• Media rules bar nudity, sexual acts and self-harm imagery.

One rule matters more than the rest for serial writers. Preview chapters that send readers off-site for the full chapter are not allowed, but posting the full chapter and telling readers that Patreon has more chapters is explicitly allowed. Scribble Hub's guidelines bless the advance-chapter model in writing (see Patreon advance chapters).

Stats, rankings and community

Scribble Hub is unusually public with numbers. The Series Ranking page lists ranked series with rating counts, views, favorites, chapters, chapters per week, readers, reviews and total words, and the general FAQ defines the per-series stats: Favorites is how many users favorited the series, Popularity is based on pageviews, Readers is how many readers the series has, and Activity is, in the site's words, "somewhat of a secret", tied to activity surrounding the story. Ratings can be changed later by clicking a new rating on the story page.

The community features the site itself documents: reading lists that other users can follow, release filtering on those lists, a forum the site calls The Lounge, an official Discord server, and contests the finder can filter by.

What to expect, honestly

Scribble Hub publishes no traffic or audience figures, so this guide quotes none. What the platform's own rules establish: approval inside about half a day; public statistics from the first day; a genre vocabulary that welcomes webnovel-style and mature-leaning work within defined limits; and a Patreon advance ecosystem the guidelines explicitly permit. If your serial is progression fantasy or LitRPG, Royal Road's culture is the other main contender (how to post on Royal Road); if it is broad-audience or romance-flavored, Wattpad's is (how to post on Wattpad). The full comparison, including the newsletter and membership routes, is where to publish a web serial, and the cadence argument is the same everywhere (choosing a release schedule).
