> I've also fired up an account at FictionPress, FanFiction.net's big brother for original fiction, at https://www.fictionpress.com/u/983729/DataPacRat ; and have posted the first book of S.I. there, to see what sort of traffic it gets there.

>> Fictionpress has practically no readership. The only places you aren't posting it that would possibly increase views is a wordpress account alongside plugging on the few web serial fiction topsites.

>>> 
>>> I have a Wordpress-based blog installed at datapacrat.com, but I know essentially nothing about it beyond 'how to update the software' and 'how to post'. Are there any variants, plugins, or instructions for applying Wordpress for serial fiction?
>>> 
>>> Which web serial fiction topsites do you have in mind?

>>>> http://thepeninthestone.com/blog/how-to-build-a-serial-story-website-in-wordpress/ has a few plugin reccommendations.

>>>> The two "big" topsites for WSF are http://topwebfiction.com/ and http://webfictionguide.com/. The first is your classical "beg for votes to get visibility" topsite, while the latter is more focused on building a community of readers, getting visibility with reviews, and making a comprehensive searchable database of WSF's tagged by genre, theme, and setting.

>>>> There's a handful of smaller sites with light to medium curation that you'd have a chance with, your best bet would be to put together a submission form letter (and TBH, give the first book a thorough polishing to bring it up to the quality of book 2-4), and spend an afternoon hunting down as many places with open submission boxes.

>>>> The first five links are all good places to drop in on, and the rest in the second category are worth at least dropping in on.
>>>> 
>>>> As for the rest, they all require previously unpublished work and exclusivity, boo.

>> Is it fanfiction, or original?  If it's non-copyright-violating, I'd be glad to post it on GreenDogPress.blogspot.com (where I'm selling my own novella, "One Hot Night" </shameless_plug>) so that you can earn at least a little coin from it.

>> **u/ArmokGoB** [+1]  (a day later)
>> 
>> Weren't you going to put it on your own site?

>>> **u/DataPacRat** [+3]  *Amateur Immortalist* (2 days later)
>>> 
>>> Indeed, I've got a placeholder page at http://www.datapacrat.com/SI/ . I'm trying to figure out what it would take to get Wordpress to use that site for that content.
>>> 
>>> And in the meantime, there's no particular reason /not/ to post the story in multiple places.
