📖 Welcome to Fictional Crowd 📖

Where Stories Grow with You

Fictional Crowd is an interactive reading and writing platform that brings authors and readers together on a unique journey. Whether you're a passionate writer looking for an engaged audience or a reader wanting to experience stories as they're crafted, you'll find a home here.

What is Fictional Crowd?

Fictional Crowd is a community-driven platform that connects readers and authors through the process of storytelling. Here, stories aren't just products to be consumed—they're journeys to be experienced in real time. Readers can join authors as they create their works, and authors can engage with their audience every step of the way.

How It Works

1. Discover Projects

A “Project” on Fictional Crowd refers to a book or story that an author is actively creating. Each Project has its own dedicated page with information like the genre, summary, current progress, and interactive options for readers. You can browse Projects to find a story that resonates with your interests.

2. Join a Journey

Every Project offers a “Journey” for readers. By joining a Journey, you're signing up to follow that story as it's written. As chapters or updates are released, you'll get notified and be able to read each installment in real-time, just as the author writes it.

3. Engage with the Author and Community

One of the core aspects of Fictional Crowd is the engagement between authors and readers. As a reader, you're encouraged to leave feedback, ask questions, and connect with others who are also following the same Journey. Authors can use this feedback to shape their story and gain motivation to keep writing.

4. Earn Recognition

Fictional Crowd is gamified to make reading and writing more engaging. As readers, the more you interact with a Journey—through reading chapters, leaving thoughtful comments, or sharing the Project—the more recognition you earn within the community. For authors, your progress and engagement metrics help you reach more readers and grow your Journey.
