Open writer upload kit

Bring the first uploads to Plotloom

Use this kit for writer-native outreach, not a broad reader blast. The offer is a rights-first 1-3 chapter pilot shelf with transparent AI labels and human community feedback.

Execution guardrails

  • The first target is not 100 readers; it is 3-5 serious writer signals and at least one real sample conversation.
  • Never promise instant readers. Say writers can create an account, keep rights, and link back to their main platform.
  • Use “human-led” and “clearly labeled AI-assisted fiction,” not “AI novel platform.”
  • Do not DM writers or ask for upvotes. Use public, rule-allowed threads only.
  • If the response is “AI slop,” strengthen the rights card, human final edit language, and raw AI dump policy before posting again.

First-upload outreach sprint

Post in one allowed thread at a time. Do not DM writers, do not cross-post the same copy, and treat Royal Road/Scribble Hub as feedback channels unless their rules clearly allow a link.

Prefer a link-light policy question first; include this measured link only if the thread fit is clear.

Royal Road question

Ask about disclosure, rights, and mirror-pilot resistance. Avoid Promote Your Fiction for offsite links.

r/WritingWithAI weekly

I’m building Plotloom, a small web-first beta shelf for human-led, clearly labeled AI-assisted serial fiction.

It is not an AI writing generator or raw text dump. The goal is to help early writers publish a short 1-3 chapter pilot, disclose how AI was used, and collect human feedback without pretending the workflow was fully human.

I’m looking for feedback from writers who already use AI for outlining, editing, translation, drafting support, or cover/story development.

Questions:
1. Would you mirror a short pilot on a separate AI-labeled fiction shelf?
2. What rights/privacy language would you need before submitting?
3. Would detailed process labels reduce stigma?
4. What would make upload friction worth it?

Authors keep their rights. Publishing is non-exclusive. Manuscripts are not used for AI training without explicit consent.

NSFW? No

Genre tags: web serial / AI-assisted fiction / feedback request

AI Method: Human-led story. AI was used for outline expansion and editing suggestions. Final structure, character decisions, and final prose edit were done by the author.

Desired feedback:
1. Does this AI Method disclosure feel clear or too vague?
2. Would this make you more or less willing to read?
3. For a 3-chapter pilot, what would you need by the end of chapter 1 to continue?
4. Would you ever mirror a short pilot on a separate AI-labeled fiction shelf if rights remain with the author and publishing is non-exclusive?

Question for serial fiction authors:

For writers who use AI only as part of the workflow, such as outlining, editing, translation help, or cover ideation, what kind of disclosure would feel fair to readers?

I’m not talking about mostly AI-written stories. I’m asking about human-led stories where AI is one tool in the process.

Would you prefer one broad “AI-assisted” label, detailed process labels, a short author note, or no label unless AI wrote substantial prose?

Also, would you ever mirror a 1-3 chapter pilot on a separate feedback shelf if rights remain with the author, publishing is non-exclusive, the author can request removal, and AI usage is disclosed clearly?

Product feedback

I stopped thinking about app stores and started testing writer activation for a fiction web app.

Plotloom is a web-based fiction community for short serial tests and transparent AI labels. The current bottleneck is not iOS/Android distribution; it is whether early writers trust open signup, rights summary, and label model enough to upload.

I’d appreciate feedback on the growth path: should the landing speak to writers first, is “AI-labeled fiction” clearer than “AI fiction,” and what would you measure in the first two weeks?

Show HN: Plotloom, an AI-labeled fiction shelf for short serial tests

I built Plotloom, a small web-based fiction beta shelf.

It is designed around a question I kept running into: if AI-assisted fiction is going to exist, what would a transparent, reader-facing label system look like?

The current beta supports public reading without signup, open writer signup, short serial fiction, Korean and English, community reactions, and visible AI labels.

Feedback welcome, especially on the label system and first-writer onboarding.

Feedback wanted: a small beta shelf for short serial tests with transparent AI labels

I’m working on a small fiction platform called Plotloom. The goal is not to replace Scribble Hub, Royal Road, or Wattpad. I’m testing a smaller idea: a short-form serial shelf where early writers can publish a few chapters, get feedback, and clearly label whether AI was used.

I’d love feedback from serial writers on whether a 3-chapter test format makes sense, whether AI labels build trust or create immediate rejection, and what a new platform must show before you would consider uploading.

Product Hunt / Indie Hackers

I stopped thinking about app stores and started testing writer activation for a fiction web app.

Plotloom is a web-based fiction community for short serial tests and transparent AI labels. At first I wondered whether I should ship an iOS/Android app, but the real bottleneck is early writer activation.

I’m testing a web-first flow: public reading without signup, open writer signup, lightweight community feedback, transparent AI labels, and short serial tests instead of huge publishing commitments.

What would you measure in the first two weeks?

https://plotloom-app.djwj5611.workers.dev/en/feedback?utm_source=product_hunt&utm_medium=feedback&utm_campaign=writer_upload_beta

What to measure first

Writer landing visits by source, especially wup-en-rd, wup-en-rbr, and wup-en-sh

Writer signup starts plus upload_support_submit events, not raw homepage visits

Signup/upload friction distribution: rights, AI training, stigma, visibility, first-upload burden

Studio entry, story creation, and actual sample/manuscript packet opens

Public comments that mention labels, rights, or upload resistance
