Can I post as a complete novel and as serialised in category

[KoraKuros]

I'm working on a novel that will be at least a hundred and forty thousand words. Can I post this as one post it novels category and at the same time release it over time in its category, incest taboo for reads who don't want to deal with all those pages at once. This would mean a reader could switch to the complete work whenever they wanted to. Is this allowed?

Any knowledge on this is welcome.

No. The site doesn't allow duplicate entries.

You've got three choices - publish all in one category, publish kink oriented chapters to the applicable category, or publish in Novels and Novellas. My 104k Arthurian myth novel is in Sci-Fi and Fantasy, for example.

Nope

You can - I have done it - take a serialized work, collate it, rewrite elements, extend it, and then ask for it to be published as a separate work.

In my case just the word count of the consolidated story was 30% more, and with other changes it was maybe 40 - 50% different.

But you can’t have exactly (or substantially) the same text in two forms.

If the novel is incest-themed, just put it in Taboo/Incest. You will get far, far more engagement than you would in N&N, so much so that the potential views from N&N become negligible in comparison.

It’s also likely that even if you don’t slot it in T/I, the admins will put it there anyway.

My Uncle Sugar Daddy story is a combined 170K words but I submitted it as separate installments and turned it into a three-part series in the Incest/Taboo category.

It is available on D2D in its original combined novel length, but not on Lit.

Not always. I've got two stories where incest is a secondary theme, and I asked Laurel to put them into my category of choice. She did so, and added an Editor's Note at the top, saying "This story has incest themes."
