About Inkstone and Original Novels
@Zijay maybe the size of the cover, its not the same as default by the website.
This page maybe can help you make a cover. You just need the picture

HELP!! I was exploring the site on my desktop browser, and now I have an "Author" tag! How do I remove it? Although I am a writer, I know my limits, and I know I can't come up with anything remotely close to what the authors here are producing --AWESOME WORK, GUYS!!!-- so I don't want to wear a tag that I know I cannot live up to. There are higher mountains and stronger people, and I know my place. Thank you in advance for any help you can give me! _
Question, how does the payment system work?
Positive_Lullaby lol it's not a ripoff really i didn't know until someone said it in the comment section i was like really what the hell till i checked it more that i found it was used by that author for his book. from this i really learned my lesson check everything before starting your work and still the cover won't change no mater what and my novel went straight for 2 stars from 4 stars T.T so hopefully they can fix it soon
I'm very interested in this, as although I publish fan fiction occasionally on AO3, I have never seriously tried to publish any of my original fiction before, but this platform has peaked my interest. I do have some questions though:
1. I would like to use my own original artwork for the cover, is this okay, as I own the rights to the image? It is actually the one I'm currently using as my avatar, though I'd probably update it, as it is an older piece, and my art style has altered slightly since I went completely digital.
2. I'd like to publish 1 chapter a week (cause I'm still a worker), and I'd like to be a couple of chapters ahead writing wise, so what is the average chapter length currently on this site?
3. Is there a minimum number of chapters required for a story? I have one plot arc roughly planned out, but I've already built the world in my head, so it shouldn't be a problem to flesh things out if necessary.
4. I understand that if my story becomes popular I may receive monetary compensation, is there any problem with me living in the UK, as a previous e-publisher I was interested in, wouldn't pay writers outside of the United States.
5. Finally, I am planning a western style fantasy story, with a female protagonist, and there will be a romantic sub-plot with sex at some point, my characters also swear, and fight a lot... So although I will use the stories that I read here as a baseline, will I get feedback if I cross the line, as I would prefer to write freely, and tone it down if necessary.

1. Yes
2. That works, but readers might not enjoy that release speed. The average chapter length should be 1500-2500 words.
3. No, just make sure to have control over your story (don't let the MC become overpowered, etc)
4, No problem. They will just wire the money (USD) over to you.
5. Doesn't sound like a problem.

What are publish timers and I try to upload cover for my novel but it doesnt appear??
Would Qidian own the novels?
Little_White I don't believe qidian would own the novels outright unless you sign a contract with them that says so.

Read the ToS They have the right 2 use your novel for promotional material and edit it for that purpose if I remember correctly. (+ some other stuff)
Neverfire7 They manually approve it... so you might have to wait until the weekends are over...
Nevie, usually how long does it take for a novel to get the approval?
TheLonerLion as I heard, mostly between 1 and 2 days.
Will their be a separate interface for the original novels in the future? My novel already have 12 chapters and I plan to update it twice a day. Maybe having a separate interface will give more exposure to original novels
I already changed the cover for my novel, why is'nt it changing yet?
Changed my cover art and it is showing up in inkstone but not in the webnovel. Are they queued for approval too ?
