Well... You are burning my brain cells so much just to let me read those.
"DoNt R34D Th3n?!?1?1?1?1?1"
I will give you good advice if you want to earn but write for fun.
Get yourself an IRL job and never come back anymore and write on your own blog!
really, man. Nothing could be treated as "For fun" anymore once you are really into something that will pay you.
officialjosiej You're better off with Patreon man. Lol. Do you even read the non-exclusive in details?
Contract questions are like the new privilege post on the forums these days.
I've read through the contract and the obligations section is a bit more loose than bigger publishing houses. I've rejected contracts before - and it's always okay to do so. If you're unsure, go with your gut.
Okay one thing to point out, " caluse 2.5 - protects the emobiment of your work and it looks like they cannot just change your work without letting you know. You can choose to unplublish your work or allow the changes.
Changes would only be made to comply with any specific countries laws and won't affect the original body of work (all publishers do this). Even so any potential changes don't just go live on their own, they state in the contract that you will be informed (and that's when you can decide to change something yourself OR pull that chapter).
Your moral rights are protected:
What Are Moral Rights?
the right of attribution of authorship;
the right against false attribution of authorship; and.
the right of integrity of authorship (i.e. the right to keep your work free from derogatory treatment).
You gain 50% of the revenue for every instance of income except fan works, then it's 10%.
There are no penalties for choosing not to continue your story, UNLESS you sign an addedum gaurunteeing additions (this is common in literary contracts as well).
If anyone were to claim your story is plagairism - Webnovel can defend themselves in court - if you're found guilty of theft or plagairism you owe back 100% of your income (this is standard for any publisher).
The only thing that's not 100% clear is the film rights. Everything else isn't in the least predatory.
advertising via webnovel is free. Going to court with them against someone who's stolen your work is also free. They protect both you and their own property rights.
The 50/50 copyright ends after 95yrs (also standard. Though most publishing houses will NOT give you 50% rights lol)
