Ad Revenue for Authors (tentative)

[HungrySheep]

The absolutely gripping discussion in Author General actually made me think of this, but are there/will there be any plans to onboard authors for this type of thing in the future? The site runs ads. Many ads, and as far as I know, Tapas is the only other webnovel site (they're more of a webcomic site though) that has a program like this. I feel like it could draw more authors to SH and hopefully boost its reputation.

Granted, this is only a half-serious feature request as I don't actually know where the ad revenue goes (I assume part of it is used for maintaining the site).

Scribblehub charm is the fact that it's very very accessible and completely free, so I don't support this, personally.

I feel like that would be quite taxing for Tony, we should give the man some rest.

If that really happens in the future though... It's time for us GL smut writers to rise!!!

Fair enough.

Nope.
Having the "smut" or "adult" genres on the story automatically removes all ads.
So even if revenue sharing was added, you would see none for those stories.

But honestly... the chances of it ever being set up is close to nil.
