Frequently Asked Questions

❓ How long does the verification process take?

Most claims are processed within 24-48 hours. Complex cases or those requiring additional verification may take up to 5 business days. You'll receive email updates throughout the process.

💰 When do royalty payments start?

Royalties begin accruing immediately after verification. You'll receive monthly reports and quarterly payments for earnings over $50. If your stories already have audio/video adaptations, you'll receive back-payments from when they were first sold.

🔍 What if I can't find my stories on the site?

Try searching for character names, unique phrases, or plot elements. Stories may have been retitled or posted under different names. Contact us with any details you remember, and we'll help search our database.

📝 Can I update my stories after claiming them?

Absolutely! Once verified, you can submit revised versions, fix typos, or make improvements. We'll update the stories and notify readers of new versions.

🚫 What if I want my stories removed completely?

We respect authors' wishes to remove their work. Verified authors can request complete removal, and we'll also remove any associated audio/video adaptations. This process is irreversible.

🌍 Do you work with international authors?

Yes! We work with authors worldwide. Royalty payments can be made via PayPal, international wire transfer, or other methods depending on your location. Tax obligations vary by country.

🤝 What if multiple people claim the same story?

We investigate carefully and may request additional proof. In genuine disputes, we'll work with all parties to resolve the situation fairly. We also report fraudulent claims to appropriate authorities.

📊 How do you track story performance?

Verified authors get access to analytics showing read counts, reader engagement, audio/video sales, geographic data, and earning reports. This helps you understand your audience and optimize future writing.
