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.
Presumably for the same reason you’re on a federated forum-like platform: to have your posts syndicated to other websites for easier discovery, and to comment on posts from other websites without needing abother account?
IDK, I’m here on Lemmy basically as a refugee from Reddit, but the federation angle doesn’t seem to help much from what I can tell. Look at how fast Bluesky overtook Mastodon. Anyway, anyone putting up new fanfic servers without understanding the politics and drama behind the existing ones is probably in for some pain. There used to be a saying “you’re looking for a Star Trek solution to a Babylon 5 problem”.
