Hello! I was curious how you guys like to share your work, particularly long-form works. I mean, excluding publishing because that sounds like a lot of effort I cannot be bothered to put in. I've been wondering what other people like to do, I don't really share my work that often.

That's a really useful guide tysm, I'll be sure to refer back to this.

I personally tend to write YA / Romance kinda things, so self-publishing sounds like a fun thing to do. Ik Wattpad is good for the genres, but I hate the stigma around the website because of all the... questionable content on there. (To be fair my stuff tends to lean into the dramatics a little bit but i reckon it does it well enough, I'm hardly unbiased though.)

I kinda wish Amazon had something like a more helpful review system, as I do believe that the system that's currently in-place doesn't lead to much constructive criticism.

NOTE: Apologies if this post hasn't came out the best I am so tired.
