Welcome to Royal Road Legends, the home of web novels and fan fictions! In our amazing community, you can find various talented individuals who write as a hobby or even professionally, artists who create art for them, and many, many readers who provide valuable feedback and encouragement.

RRL is designed to make it easy for writers to quickly and easily get their work up for readers to see. Here are step-by-step instructions to publish your first fiction (and all subsequent fictions).

1. Register for an account on RRL if you do not already have one. This can be easily done from our Welcome page
2. Click Write on the navigation bar, which will take you to the My Fictions page
3. Click New Story
4. Fill in the Title, Description. Select the genres and additional tags. Fill in your first chapter's title and the content of your first chapter.
   
   Note: if you do not select Fan Fiction for stories based on others' work or do not choose the Content Warnings appropriate for your story, the submission will be rejected.
5. Upload a cover image that is 400x600 pixels or larger (This is optional)
6. Click Submit
   
   All new submissions are manually checked for appropriate tagging and plagiarism, so expect it to take between 12-24 hours for a submission to be approved. Please be patient.
7. Once your fiction has been approved, you can find it by again clicking Write on the navigation bar
8. Add additional chapters by clicking Add New Chapter

Your Work is Yours

At RRL, we do not require that you post exclusively to our site, and you can take your work down at any time. Whether on other large fiction sites or your own personal site, you can post to RRL with a time delay, or just a sample.

Premium Service

We have a monthly (or yearly) subscription based premium service available. The primary aim of this service is simple: to provide an alternative way to support the site's development and get an advertisement-free experience.

Reader Premium

This is the basic subscription for RRL users who want to browse ad-free, along with push notifications for convenience and some vanity features:

• No Advertisements
• Push Notifications
• Premium Mark
• Post Border

Author Premium

Our Author Premium subscription has been created with one goal in mind: to provide our authors high-level tools and data that would be prohibitively expensive to develop without your subscription support. Analytics, for example, requires dedicated machines to gather, store, analyse and serve the data. We have other services in the works for this tier, but they are currently unlisted as we are nowhere near the testing stage. As you may have noticed, our Author Premium service is currently unavailable; this is due to technical issues that we have to solve with the service, such as problems with the analytics.

How?

The Premium service can be accessed using the following link: http://royalroadl.com/premium

The subscription can be monthly or yearly, which you can decide by choosing the relevant tab in the top right corner of the pricing.

The payments and the subscription itself is handled through PayPal. This means that you can easily subscribe or unsubscribe anytime directly through your PayPal account.

Unsubscription

To Unsubscribe from the Premium service, go directly to http://paypal.com and log in to your account. You can find the reccurring payment under More > Sitemap > Manage subscription payments > My pre-approved payments.

If you can't find the page, or are unable to unsubscribe for some reason, don't hesitate to make a new support ticket at http://royalroadl.com/support with the category "Payments" and we will help you.

Reviewing

Reviewing is a very important part of the RoyalRoad™ community. Writers love to hear from their readers and get constructive criticism to improve. Many of our ranking lists rely heavily on the ratings of the users, so we encourage you to review whatever you read! Just make sure that you follow our reviewing rules and guidelines.

Rules

1. Try to be constructive. State what you liked and didn't like about the story, and suggest ways to improve if you think of any. Don't leave purely negative rants that are biased and unhelpful.
2. Stay on topic. Your review should address the story itself, and only the story. Unrelated content, including comments about the author's other activity, other users, etc., is not part of a review.
3. Be fair and respectful. Do not insult the author or other users. This includes explicitly discouraging authors from writing or telling them to drop stories
   3.1 Discouraging the reader from even giving a fiction a try or telling the writer to stop writing is viewed as taboo throughout RoyalRoad™. 
   3.2 Directly insulting the author or the readers is strictly forbidden. You may criticize the writing, but not the writer. 
   3.3 This includes ideas that fall under the category of slander, hate speech, discrimination, instigation, etc. 
   3.4 Deceit. Intentionally depicting a story as something entirely different from what it is. In other words: mindless bashing of fiction is a big NO. 
   3.5 Genre Hate. Don’t rate a story lower or insult a story for following a certain genre. It’s fine to say how certain elements of the genre were badly done or take away from the story, but not just hating on it for containing the genre 
4. Use appropriate language. Avoid profanity, reviews shouldn’t contain excessive vulgarity, sexual content, or descriptions of gore.
5. No spoilers. Instead of using spoilers, you can allude to certain plotlines, so that only people that read the story would understand it without the story being spoiled for a reader. Writing down the entire plotline in a summary format is to be absolutely avoided. Don't ruin the story for unsuspecting readers.

Ratings, Reviews, and Advanced Reviews

There are three levels of feedback you can leave for an author.

Ratings are plain 0.5-5 star scores. No written feedback or justification for the score is required.

Reviews provide an overall 0.5-5 star scores along with a brief overview of your opinion of the story, providing some level of critique and justification for the score.

Advanced reviews provide a score for the overall fiction, along with the subcategories Style, Story, Grammar, and Characters

• Style: This refers to the general feeling of the fiction as created by the author's word choices, literary devices, and unique way of writing
• Story: This refers to the plot and how well the story is put together
• Grammar: This refers to technical aspects of the writing, including spelling, grammar, and punctuation
• Characters: This refers to the characters in the story, how well they are depicted, how realistic and three-dimensional they are

In an advanced review, you are expected to write a detailed critique that covers all subcategories being rated as well as a justification for the overall score.

Because the effort involved increases with more detailed reviews, advanced reviews are weighted more than reviews, which are weighted more than plain ratings when it comes to calculating average fiction rating and Best Fiction rankings. Reviews and advanced reviews are also under scrutiny for their content and will be deleted if inappropriate or insufficient in content.

Other Rules

• This should be fairly obvious, but rating and reviewing from multiple accounts is prohibited. We have software to catch people who try to manipulate the ratings by doing this. Alternate accounts that do this will be permabanned and the original account will face temporary ban.
• Review swaps are allowed on RRL. In fact, you can request them in our Reviews forum. However, rating and review swaps promising high scores is prohibited. If you agree to a review swap, we expect you to actually read the other person's fiction and to write a thoughtful review with a rating that matches your opinion of the story

Review swap rules

• Both fictions must be at least 10,000 words long (36 pages)
• Both users must read at least 10,000 words (36 pages) of the other person's fiction before writing the review
• The review must be a detailed advanced review, covering all four subcategories (Style, Story, Grammar, Character), and writing about both positive and negative points of the fiction
• The rating must be reflective of the critique in the review. Giving nothing but high ratings or agreeing to give high ratings before reading the fiction is considered vote manipulation

Reporting Reviews

If you see any reviews that violate any of the rules above, please report them by clicking the [Report] button at the bottom of every review. Clearly state the reason(s) for reporting on the page it takes you to and click [Confirm]. Our staff will quickly review the report and decide what action needs to be taken.

Reporting Fictions

If a fiction violates any of our rules, such as having plagiarism, hate speech, pedophilia, or missing tags for mature content, do not leave a review stating these things but rather report the fiction by clicking the [Report] button on the top right side of the fiction's main page. Clearly state the reason(s) for reporting on the page it takes you to and click [Confirm]. Our staff will quickly review the report and decide what action needs to be taken.

Major Rules of RRL

If you read nothing else in the help pages, read this and avoid getting in trouble on RRL. All of these rules are repeated in the sections of the help pages they pertain to, but we've gathered all of the rules into one place for you to keep in mind.

1. Hate speech of any kind and pedophilia are prohibited in all areas of the site, including within fictions that have mature tags.
2. Manipulating fiction scores and rankings is strictly prohibited. This includes creating alternate accounts to rate multiple times and trading high ratings with other users.
3. Insulting and attacking other users is not allowed. You can disagree, but be polite and civil.
4. Plagiarism is not allowed. If you are writing a fanfiction, make sure it is appropriately tagged and give credit to whoever created the original story. If you have already published your fiction elsewhere and are moving to RRL, please follow the instructions on our Migrating From Another Site page.
5. No spam. This includes links to other sites for no reason, nonsense posts, and repeat posts in multiple forums.
6. Political and religious discussions are not allowed in the forums. It just creates too many ill feelings, and our site is not the place to argue about these topics.
7. Profanity and sexual content. Avoid using profanity and sexually explicit language unless your Fiction is tagged with the warning. Even then, the content must be within appropriate limits. Read up on the rules regarding Mature content.
8. No derogatory English. This is a website dedicated to writing, and as such we want to uphold our users to a certain quality and allow them to improve. However, when someone uses derogatory English [writ lik dis] they are purposely trying to worsen the quality which is the opposite of what we wish(which is for our users to improve). Therefore if anyone uses derogatory English, their posts will be considered as spam/trolling and we will be addressed with accordingly.

If you see any content that violates these rules, please report it by clicking the appropriate [Report] button beside the post, comment, or fiction.

We are currently not handing out achievements; however, we have a new Achievement system in progress which will allow us more efficient management of achievements and automatic distribution of achievements when their requirements are fulfilled.

No. We've been over the issue multiple times. Here is a summary of why not, copied from the forums:

There are several problems with making the review content compulsory. First of all, it would significantly reduce the number of ratings on the site. This would pose several problems, including:

• We'd need to remove existing anonymous ratings, as the reduced number of reviews would mean that top list entries would be very, very hard to overcome, if not virtually impossible unless the site's viewership suddenly increased tenfold.
• At the same time, removing existing ratings would mean that we'd make a gigantic mess from the site. The top list would get completely scrambled, and manipulating the top list would become much easier due to the significantly reduced number of reviews to judge ranking by.
• Removing reviews, actually, does not stop drive-bys. An excellent example of this is Amazon. I recommend doing a quick research on the topic, as ""spam reviews"" are a significant problem with the system either way.

Additionally, most users that do not review, according to statistics, would not if they have to think and write a review.

Another problem with forcing reviews is that drive-by 0.5-star ratings would turn into a significant amount of toxicity and hate reviews. This would both make moderation increasingly hard and authors more likely to quit due to the negative feedback. Please keep in mind that the site's audience is generally young.

Apart from every single point for the question above being true for this question, making only 0.5 star ratings require reviews would not only incite more hate reviews, but it would also simply shift the most common negative rating from 0.5 star to 1 star, essentially doing nothing to change the situation.

You can open a support ticket. You can also join the discord server and ask in the #assistance-requests channel. Alternatively, you can send a DM to members with @Moderator or @Super Moderator roles or even to DM @pengwing (admin) for questions.

If you think someone is breaking the rules, click on the “report” button that you can find at the top of any fiction and chapter page, or at the bottom of reviews, comments, and forum posts. If you can't find the report button or you want to report a user for repeated behavior, please contact our staff through a support ticket or using our official discord chat, and explain your situation.

If you are browsing RoyalRoad™ and you find an ad that redirects you to another page or contains mature or otherwise inappropriate content, or even an ad that feels malicious for any reason, then please report it by opening a support ticket and sharing the direct URL link. 

We do not tolerate these ads, and we try our best to block them, the most efficient way to blacklist them is with your help. So please keep us updated. 

You can have a Site-wide Notification and Banner Ad advertisement campaign for your book. We are also open to discussing other ideas. 
To find more information about this, please contact [email protected] or PengWing#7814 on Discord chat (recommended).

In order to add a [Donation] request using Paypal or Patreon to your fiction page.

1. You need to go to My Fictions
2. Click on the Dashboard button of the fiction you want to add donations to
3. Then click on the Donations Tab
4. Add URLs of your donation button for PayPal or the link to your Patreon Page in the required fields.  

RoyalRoad™ wishes to support the authors, and does not take any percentage of these donations, they are held externally via PayPal and Patron and we don't hold any responsibility for them.

The [Donation] bar will appear at the bottom of all chapters of the approved fiction, and on the fiction page.

• RoyalRoadL may revoke donation privileges at their own discretion.

Q&A

Q: Are there any requirements for requesting donations?
A: We have currently disabled Donations for any and all Fan Fictions.

Q: My fiction is complete. Can I still request donations?
A: As long as it fits all requirements, yes.

Q: I’m underage, can I still request donations?
A: Unfortunately, Paypal’s current policy is that only 18 years old and older people are allowed to receive donations. This is something we can’t influence.

We originally had a donation system for one-time donations, which came with the "Donor" achievement. We removed that because

• One-time donations no longer make a difference to a site the size that ours has grown to, and
• We didn't want to take donations away from our authors.

You can now support the site with a Premium Subscription for an ad-free experience, along with a cool Premium mark.

No. All donations made to an author on RoyalRoad, go directly to the author through the service they chose. RoyalRoad does not receive a share of said donations / Patreon.
If you want to support RoyalRoad, please get the reader or the author premium.

You can support the author in multiple ways.

1. You can comment on the chapters and give encouraging words.
2. You can give feedback or provide your services (proofreading, artwork) etc.
3. You can promote and recommend their fiction.
4. You can support them financially. If an author desires financial support, they are able to attach a PayPal and Patreon link which appears at the end of the chapters.
Or once an author completes their fiction, they might self-publish, and at that time you can also show your support by buying the book.

Alternatively, you could send the author a private message.

If you would like to support RoyalRoad, whitelist royalroadl.com from your Adblock or consider buying a premium membership.
You can also advertise or promote the platform to let more people know about it.

You can add a system that allows users to pay for extra content on top of your regular release schedule.
As long as you do not withhold content in the end, or demand money for chapters, or abuse the system in any way.

On Royal Road, we have several fiction rankings to help readers find stories to read and to give authors the opportunity to be exposed to new readers. The explanation of each list is below, along with some tips for any authors looking to maximize reader exposure.

New Releases

This list is pretty straightforward. Newly approved fictions are added to the top of the list and older ones pushed off.

Please note that all of our new submissions are manually checked before being approved. This is usually done twice a day, but if our admins are busy, it can take longer. There is no guarantee when exactly your fiction will show up here, so please be patient.

Latest Updates

Fictions are added to this list when a new chapter is released and they are pushed down by subsequent releases by other authors.

For new fictions, this list is a great way to gain exposure to new readers.

Note that if a fiction is updated with a new chapter while still on the list, those updates will be grouped together in one entry.

Some tips to maximize your exposure on the list:

• Update regularly, especially early in your fiction launch. A successful technique that people have used to quickly gain a readerbase is to save up enough chapters for a daily release for at least a week, even if their normal writing pace is slower than that.
• Space out your updates. Let's say that you have 100 chapters saved up from when you were publishing on another site. Don't post them all at once. If you do, you'll only get one listing and very few readers will see it compared to if you spaced out your updates. We recommend waiting until your fiction has been pushed off the list before the next update. This can be under an hour during our peak traffic times, and 2-3 hours when traffic is slower
• Update at different times of the day. RRL has a global userbase, so if you update at different times, you will get exposure to users from different time zones.
• Related to the above point, we do not recommend trying to maximize exposure by posting only during peak traffic hours. Yes, there are more readers at that time, but that is also when more authors naturally update. You will be pushed off the Latest Updates list faster, and it works out to about the same exposure as if you updated during non-peak hours

Best Rated

These are some of the most highly-rated stories ever written on RRL. The formula for this weights average rating the most, with a correction factor for number of ratings. Basically, for two fictions with the same average rating, the one with more ratings is ranked higher, and the more ratings a fiction has, the more the formula allows for the inevitable one or two low ratings that will occur.

Tips for getting onto this illustrious list:

• Keep writing. If you look at the current fictions on the list, most of them have over 30 chapters up, some over 100. It's a marathon to get on this list, not a sprint.
• Keep an eye on quality. It may be tempting to write as quickly as possible and immediately post the results, but readers will take points off of their ratings for things like grammatical errors and improper plot development. You don't have to hire a professional editor to look over everything before you post, but do your best.
• Encourage your readers to review. You can't get onto this list, or many of the other ones, without ratings. Occasionally remind your readers in author's notes that you appreciate receiving reviews. Remember, advanced reviews are weighted more than regular reviews, which are weighted more than non-review ratings when it comes to calculating your average rating.

Active-Only Ranking

This list uses the same formula as the Best Rated list, but only includes fictions updated within the last 35 days. Many readers prefer looking at this list so that they can avoid dropped fictions.

Complete

This list uses the same formula as the Best Rated list, but only includes fictions marked complete. Readers may prefer looking at this list if they want to find stories they are certain have an ending and won't be dropped midway.

• Note: If you have a complete fiction, please submit a Support Ticket so that one of the staff can change its status to Complete.

RRL is designed to make it easy for writers to quickly and easily get their work up for readers to see. Here are step-by-step instructions to publish your first fiction (and all subsequent fictions).

• Register for an account on RRL if you do not already have one. This can be easily done from our Welcome page or by clicking the ""Log In"" button in the top right corner and selecting ""Create an account"" on the bottom of the login form
• Click Write on the navigation bar, which will take you to the My Fictions page
• Click New Story
• Fill in the Title, Description. Select the genres and additional tags. Fill in your first chapter's title and the content of your first chapter.
  Note: if you do not select Fan Fiction for stories based on others' work or do not choose the Content Warnings appropriate for your story, the submission will be rejected.
• Upload a cover image that is either 200x300 pixels or 400x600 pixels (This is optional)
• Click Submit
• All new submissions are manually checked for appropriate tagging and plagiarism, so expect it to take between 12-24 hours for a submission to be approved. Please be patient.
• Once your fiction has been approved, you can find it by again clicking Write on the navigation bar
• Add additional chapters by clicking Add New Chapter

FanFiction means a story written based on an already existing original work. As such, the copyright laws for FanFiction are only applicable as far as Fair Use comes into play.

On the other hand, Original means that you are the first and sole creator of the universe your story is set in, as well as the characters and plot line. Note: Make sure to properly tag your fiction as either FanFiction or Original.

Go to My Fictions, then click Dashboard on the fiction you want to add a cover for. Click the Edit tab, then upload your art.

Covers need to be 400x600 pixels or larger.

The fiction is usually approved within a few hours, but it can take up to a maximum of 48 hours.

Note that all submissions are read through and carefully checked before being accepted. A moderator checks that your fiction did not break any of our rules, that the submitter is the author and that it has the fiction has the correct tags. 
Once that’s done, you will be able to post the remaining chapters normally.

Make sure you follow all of the rules so that a moderator is not required to reject your submission. If your fiction is available elsewhere, note that we require verification to make sure that the person posting the fiction on RoyalRoad is in fact, the author, or someone who has permission from the author. So providing said verification before we even get to reviewing your submission would speed up the process.

To do so, you can edit the description on the other site/platform with the words “I will be posting this story on RoyalRoadl.com” or some other message with the same concept that will help us in our verification process.

Once you do this, open a support ticket at http://royalroadl.com/support and post a link to where this verification takes place. Note that we do not allow screenshot or image-based proofs.

Note that you can delete the proof of ownership stated above after we verify and approve your fiction.

Verified content:
The content must be submitted by the author or someone with permission from the author. Any content that is available on other sites, will be verified upon submission. Note the QA regarding how to speed up the submission approval process. 
In case of a translation, you must have the original author’s permission, the copyright holder’s permission and the translator’s permission to publish it there.

Original or Fanfiction:
If your content is based on another novel’s setting, characters or terminology, it must be tagged as a fanfiction with the credit added in the description.
Unless, the terminology is not specific to a certain fiction and is actually widely used, and/or the characters are mythical or historical creatures, in which case you can avoid using the fanfiction tag.

Mature content:
Only if it is tagged appropriately [Gore, Profanity, Sexual Content, Traumatising], can a chapter include mature content.
The description can’t have any mature content, even if the fiction was tagged correctly.
While mature content may be included, fictions that mainly focuses on said content will be deleted.

Quality and language:
There is no quality control over the fiction, however, if it has derogatory English [writ like dis], or if it is unreadable, it will be rejected or possibly deleted right away.
You may submit your fictions in other languages.

Real world content:
Avoid including real-world religions and politics. If a fiction was discovered to include insults toward real-world religion, the author will be warned or even banned. If you wish to include religions, either create your own or do it in the most respectful way possible.

Don’t include anything that depicts different “real world groups” in an offensive way.

Submit actual chapter content, not intros or author notes.

RRL reserves the right to reject anything and everything regardless of the rules stated here. However, you are more likely to have your fiction approved if you followed all of the listed rules.

You can open a support ticket, detailing which fiction you want to remove, and a member of our staff will delete it per your request.

A fiction may have 4 possible status: ongoing, completed, hiatus and inactive.

The author can change the status of his fiction to complete, or something else, by opening a support ticket.

Alternatively, after 35 days of inactivity by not posting a new chapter, the fiction status automatically turn to hiatus.

If a fiction on hiatus is updated, the status will get updated accordingly after the next midnight GMT.

These comments indicate how much the readers enjoy the story, and how they feel pride in being the first to comment. It is a great compliment to the author, and while they might seem like spam, they are not against the rules as long as they aren't posted multiple times in the same chapter by the same user.

However, If you are the author of a fiction with these comments, you can freely delete them.

Authors have moderator status on all of their fictions — that is, the right to remove any comment they deem unnecessary or inappropriate, without informing the staff about such actions.

If interactions with readers through comments on your fiction develop into a lengthier, less healthy debate, either side is free to contact the staff, preferably via the report button, or via a support ticket, in which case the matter will be settled privately and discretely.

A page is equal to 275 written words, an amount comparable to published paperback books (where it varies between 250 and 300 words per page). 

In order to gain as many readers as possible. We recommend publishing the chapters at different hours, which will allow you to gain readers from different time zones.

Also, do not publish more than two chapters a day. Instead, do so on consecutive days, which will allow you to maximize the exposure the fiction receives from the Latest Update list.

The minimum amount for a chapter length is currently 500 characters. There is no maximum limit, but we had a chapter with more than 50,000 words. So unless you want to break the record, we recommend keeping the chapter length less than 10,000 words.   

There is a small grid icon on the toolbar when you are writing a new chapter/draft. That icon will let you insert a table into your chapter. 

We consider any single instance of aforementioned mature content enough of a requirement for the tag, no matter the occurrence rate throughout the fiction. Each tag has a description to help you gauge whether your content is severe enough to include it.

Sexual Content tag:
If your fiction contains explicit scenes of sexual nature or strong innuendos and references to sexual acts it should be tagged as such.

Gore Content tag: Any explicit depiction of violence, blood, mutilation, and any other imagery that is generally considered disturbing is to be considered gore.

Profanity content tag: As soon as your fiction contains any curse/swear words in excess or particularly suggestive language.

Traumatizing Content tag: if moral values are present in the fiction that are questionable by society and might cause a twisted sense of the world and reality to children and morally unstable people, then the fiction would be labeled as containing traumatizing content.

However, even with the warning, please make sure your novel DOES NOT centralize around mature content but contains them as a way of life. 

Anything you write is automatically copyrighted by you, but that does not mean it is registered in your country’s copyright office. You may use [copyrighted.com] or other available resources for this.

Note: Once posted on RoyalRoadL.com, your content will be marked as your own, with a date on the post that verifies when the content was published.

Feel free to write a Support Ticket with your claim and proof of your claim. Our moderators will verify if it is indeed an Original story or a Fan Fiction based on your story. If your claim is proven to be true, and you do not wish your story to be shared on RoyalRoadL, then we will proceed to remove it. Note: If a Donation button exists on the story, it will be temporarily removed until we have resolved this situation.

At RRL, we do not require that you post exclusively to our site, and you can take your work down at any time. Whether on other large fiction sites or your own personal site, you can post to RRL with a time delay, or just a sample.

No. Unless you contact the artist and ask for permission, or use creative commons pictures instead. 
Creative Commons provides free artwork, under multiple conditions. Which you will have to verify for yourself for the artwork that you want to use. (e.g. give credit to artist) etc.

If we received a report that an author infringed on anyone's copyright, we will take down the said work.

Depending on your type of enquiry, you have two options:

1. You can open a [Support Ticket], which only the admins, super moderators, and you will be able to read.
2. If the report revolves around a post or thread, it’s better to click the Report icon at the bottom of the post.

By posting a total of, at least 20,000 words (72 pages) using your RoyalRoad account. If you match these criteria, contact a Moderator or Super Moderator on Discord. 

If you acquired the reader or author Premium on RoyalRoad, you can message a Moderator on the discord server, and they will guide you through the process of applying for this exclusive role.

The official app is still in development. Currently, you can use the browser for mobile and tablets.

If you have encountered a bug, copy the returned information, and open a support ticket. There, paste the returned information, or a print screen, as well as a description of what the issue is. Describe how you encountered this issue or any other relevant information that could help us replicate the issue ourselves.

Note that our response average is 4 hours. However, a staff member can take up to 1-2 days to respond to you.

Alternatively, look in our Forums (Assistance Requests) and our Discord server #bug-enquiries channel to see if others are having the same issue and if there is an unofficial fix for it already.

There are multiple ways to contact the staff. If you are uncertain of the issue's importance, and it is a general one, can open a support ticket and a Supermoderator or an Admin will respond to your ticket.

You can also contact the staff via Discord chat, where anyone with the roles @Super Moderator and @Moderator will be able to respond to you. But, if it is a very important issue, you can contact the admin @pengwing directly.

You can also get in contact with the admins via the email [email protected]

You can check status.royalroadl.com to see if the issue is specific to you, or if it is general. If it is a general issue, then note that the staff is already aware of it and is already working on a solution. 

Otherwise, check RoyalRoad discord #bug-enquiries channel. Post your query there, if others didn't report the issue already.

If the website is loading slowly, please check the status page to see if it is a general issue. If it is not - open a support ticket about it. You can also check Discord #bug-enquiries for a quick response and update regarding the issue. 

Yes, as long as you do not use them for vote manipulation or for breaking any of our rules and policies. Disrespecting this will result in disciplinary measures against all accounts.

You can change your username by creating a support ticket and mentioning the requested name. Do note that requests will be denied if the name is too offensive or is already in use.
