Fictbase

Publish your fiction. Own your audience.

The story

Serial-fiction platforms take a cut of what writers earn, and they own the audience. Fictbase turns any WordPress site into a self-hosted serialized-fiction platform, so the writer keeps the site, the readers and the revenue.

It's published on the WordPress.org plugin directory with free and Pro tiers. I run it end to end: product, engineering, marketing and support.
