Stories not showing up in search

[dottxt]

Posting my stories here, I've only ever gotten good feedback and reception on two of them, and that was before I deleted and re-integrated them into my big anthology of fics. I didn't think too much of it at the time, maybe it's just bad luck, just the nature of the beast to be ignored in a sea of other authors. But when I looked up my fics on the search bar for the first time just now, they don't show up period. I've been a member for a little over two years now. I'm not a troll and I'm not looking to spam anything. I just want my stories to actually be reaching people.

Also, looking over this again and apparently this might be the wrong subforum for this topic? If that's the case, my bad.

Were your stories approved? Keep in mind you can have a cover be approved while having a story be rejected. See if you can post a link to your story, and then message an active moderator to see if your story has been rejected. If it has been rejected they should give you a reason as to why.

I have a story that wasn’t approved and I can’t search for it. However I can still post links to and shows up in my stories on my profile in the main site.

I fed my story links through an empty browser where I'm not logged in and it shows up.

WUT!?!?!

I had no idea that happened, I thought stories that don't get approved get straight-up nuked.

If I post a link to my unapproved story you can read it as well.

An Interactive Alchemy Textbook on Planar Travel

What is this for? The title does enough, although do feel free to ask questions. — — — Like seriously if you don’t ask questions this will be a fairly dry textbook. You would not want to do that to your friendly interplaner alchemy teacher would you?

It depends on why they are rejected I believe. Mine was rejected for ’not being a story’.

Yep, that's what I meant by e:f;b, heh-heh!

If it helps, I didn't receive a message that any of my stories were ever rejected for everything or broke any of the rules. They just went up, no problem. Is there a place I should be able to check for mod rejection slips or anything like that?

IDK, I only got my answer after sending a few emails…

’not being a story’.

Oh yeah, that could be the reason.

I can maybe see that I broke some of the rules without realizing it, but looking at my stories, there are other people looking at them. It's just that that number is tiny, and I can't find them in the search bar. I haven't gone advertising my stuff to anyone else here on ScribbleHub, I can only think that all my stuff went through.

If you view a chapter multiple times, sometimes it will add to the view count, same fore the main page or stats. Also, your first chapter will probably be read by a mod to see if there is prohibited content. Also, if you have an approved story, people can find your rejected stories by going to your profile and clicking the Series tab.

What can I say, I'm a smut writer and I want people to know exactly what I'm about!

And funny thing, I can actually find myself in the member search, heh!
