I've been considering Wattpad... It's nice to see so much love for it.
I've seen people say it's a good place to see how your writing is received. I've seen people say that it's a good place to publish something you just can't find a home for. I've seen people say it's a supportive community where you can connect with other writers.
I've seen people say even though it happens, not to put something up hoping to attract an agent because it's a long shot and not worth burning first rights.
I've seen people say that published authors are putting up stuff, but I can't tell if these are small parts of a story to promote a bigger work... or if they're whole freebies.
I've heard various industry professionals say that some writers to promote themselves (and not just any given book) post free content—either small, independent works or works related to, for example, a published series.
So say I had some stories in reserve that I've planned to give away. Is it better to do that kind of thing on a blog or website, where I might not have a lot of visibility at first, or would a place like Wattpad, where there's already a large gathering, be a good outlet for that kind of thing?
