Does anyone know if there are any Fediverse equivalent/alternatives to platforms like:
- Wattpad
- SquidgeWorld Archive
- Archive of Our Own (AO3)
- FanFiction.Net (FFN)
etc.?
If not, has anyone ever considered potentially creating one?
I personally think that it could be a great addition to the Fediverse ecosystem, allowing writers to share their work in a decentralized manner.
Some potential names for such a platform could be:
- FediFics
- FediPad
- FediFan
- WriteVerse
- FediFiction
- StoryNode
- TaleChain etc.
Perhaps use “FediFiction.net” (or “FediFics.net”, “FediFanFiction.net”, or “FediFan.net”) as the FFN Fediverse Alternative, and “FediPad” for Wattpad?
IDK.
I would consider developing this myself, but I not only lack the time, I also don’t have any coding ability.
However, I personally believe that this could be an exciting project for someone with the right skills and interest in both the Fediverse and creative writing communities.
From what I’ve heard from other people who are there, RR is more like multiple cabals of chimpanzees competing for which one looks more aristocratic. Which may be a good thing if you’re into that, but since platforms like AO3 already exist why would I ever go to a platform where people can collude to sink me behind my back? Ya know, like in corporate networks?
