I've been toying with the idea of a site for original written works, in the same vein as current fanfiction sites or Deviantart.

I imagine it would end up working along the shareware model, x chapters here for free and purchase access to the full story, or something along those lines - though if there is a market for it you could use it as a streamlining process for publishing houses I suppose

Is anybody aware of a site like that in the wild already?




Not with your proposed marketing mechanism, but there's https://www.fictionpress.com/ -- a spinoff of https://www.fanfiction.net/.


Im CTO at a startup that is working in that space — https://tablo.io

We currently offer a way to streamline creation, sharing and publishing of work through to the iBooks Store. Going forward we are focusing on being a new home for publishing.
