    As the title says does qidian intend to accept original novels? Or will focus on translating its own novels ? @Qidian

    This is why I've always thought the term "original" novel for an english novel is misleading. Just call it english.

    They will do it someday. It can be a good way to earn money and I don't think they will let this kind of opportunity pass them by.

    Sure, write it in Chinese and they'd accept. Or in fact, just write both languages at once lol

    If you publish your novel on webnoveldotcom you support evil, don't do it

    On the more serious route, read the contract/terms of service/user agreements carefully so you don't give away the copyright by mistake

    I bet they will sooner or later. xD
    P.S Your explanation is too hard to understand. xD I had to read it like a million times to finally understand what you mean.

    You wouldn't want to have to sign in blood anyway. It's unsanitary.

    Even if they would accept it, there wouldn't be any pay unless it becomes very popular, and that's only maybe.

    If the future QI offer a bigger exposure, I believe some author would prefer to host their original novel over there.

    GravityTales model is the future, and everyone will follow.

    They wil prorably open a forum section for fan translation and orignial novels or english novels if you may say but they will never host it on the main site. Thing is they won't pay you to write unless you publish in qidian and get popularity LOL

    My best bet is to just use royalroad or other fanfic sites
