what is the point of members only chapters? sorry if i sound ignorant just curious

Members Only allows for authors to restrict access to their stories to non memebers of IF. Yes, this can potentially limit number of readers in regards to FFs being discovered, but this is why you can add "member only" chapter by chapter and will be beneficial for authors to make maybe one or initial couple chapters available to all, non members included. This will then allow for readers who are non memebers to get potentially hooked to the story and encourage them to signup as members. Also, non members cannot press like or leave comments which is something authors use as way to identify how their work is received.

Yes.

We encourage writers to leave 1-2 chapters open for all and rest of them members only.

And readers please hit like and comment if you like the stories as that will motivate writers.

Thank you and FF section seems interesting.

I have one major doubt...can we still choose to continue to post my FFs on the respective forums? I write FFs on "Geet Hui Sab Se Parayi (GHSP) ?". and I can continue to post it in the GHSP forum as well as FF section?

I would suggest you post in fan-fiction section only cause in forums inactive topics gets Auto closed and forums also might get closed.

We will also show fan fic in respective show pages too.

Later we will bring subscriber only which is this feature only. It will be rolled once we hit around 500 fan fics. Currently we at 100.

Currently there doesn't seem to be an option to search for a particular FF. Readers and writers have to browse all pages to find it. Will it be introduced at a later time?

Currently we are working on Help Center and Holi contest.

Hi,

Just have a suggestion, I don't know if it's doable but I was just thinking, the FF/WC sections are planning on holding more writing focused contests to encourage more writers/writing on IF. I think it would be great incentive if we could possibly feature the winning entry somewhere on the new FF site as a highlight e.g. Monthly Contest Winner or a similar concept. Also Zo suggested maybe also adding badges for winning authors' under their UN.
