Introduction

Storipod Originals is a curated collection of outstanding, high-quality stories and serials selected from our creator community. Being featured as a Storipod Original is both a recognition of a writer’s creative merit and an opportunity for broader visibility and potential earnings. Because Storipod Originals reflect our highest editorial standards, this policy sets out the terms, selection criteria, responsibilities, and expectations for both creators and Storipod as a platform.

By submitting your work for consideration or accepting an invitation to Storipod Originals, you agree to abide by this policy and any related provisions under our general Terms of Use.

• Highlight the best creative works on the platform
• Reward exceptional writers and storytellers with extra exposure and support
• Maintain a trusted space where readers know they are engaging with vetted, high-quality content
• Grow the platform’s value for writers, readers, and partners by showcasing diverse, original voices

• Have an active Storipod account in good standing, with no unresolved policy violations
• Be the original creator of the work, with full ownership and the right to publish the content exclusively or non-exclusively on Storipod
• Have a demonstrated history of consistent publishing and genuine audience engagement
• Agree to adhere to all applicable copyright laws and our Content Guidelines

3.1 Creator Submission: You may request that your story or series be reviewed for inclusion by submitting an official request through the app’s submission tool or by contacting our editorial team where available.

3.2 Editorial Nomination: Storipod’s editorial team may directly identify, approach, and invite creators whose works demonstrate exceptional promise, unique style, or significant reader traction.

• Originality, creativity, and narrative depth
• Audience response and engagement (reads, comments, shares)
• Consistency and quality of writing across chapters or multiple works
• Alignment with community standards, including compliance with our anti-plagiarism and content integrity policies
• Relevance to current trends, cultural impact, or unique genre appeal

Final selections are made at the sole discretion of Storipod’s editorial team. Due to the competitive nature of the program, not all requests will be approved, and no guarantee of acceptance is implied.

Storipod Originals may involve exclusive or preferred publishing arrangements. If a story is chosen as an Original, Storipod may request that the creator agrees not to publish the same work in full on competing platforms during the featured period. Specific terms may vary and will be communicated to the creator before confirmation.

• Prominent placement on the app’s homepage and dedicated Originals section
• Priority inclusion in newsletters, push notifications, and marketing campaigns
• Additional editorial support, guidance, or promotional assets where applicable
• Increased eligibility for earnings through Storipod’s Creator Fund or other reward mechanisms

Inclusion as an Original does not guarantee specific earnings or payment amounts. Payouts are managed by an automated system that accounts for factors such as views, reader interaction, and platform performance. Exact rates or calculation formulas are proprietary and may not be disclosed publicly.

Creators are encouraged to continue promoting their work, engaging with readers, and publishing consistently to maximize their potential earnings.

All Storipod Originals must comply with our Content Guidelines and Community Standards. Any content found to be plagiarized, stolen, or published without the full rights of the submitting creator will be removed immediately. The creator’s account may face penalties including removal from the Originals program, suspension from monetization, or termination of the account.

• Remove a story from the Originals category at any time for editorial, legal, or policy reasons
• Request revisions or edits to maintain editorial standards
• Suspend or terminate the Originals program or any individual feature without prior notice

Creators will be notified through in-app messages or email regarding the status of their submission or nomination. While we strive to review all submissions, high volumes may mean we cannot respond individually to every request.

Creators are encouraged to monitor the Originals section and their account dashboard for updates.

For questions or concerns related to Storipod Originals, please contact our Support Team via the in-app Help Center.

Storipod may update or amend this policy at any time to reflect changes in operational needs, community standards, or legal requirements. Continued participation in the Originals program after such updates constitutes acceptance of the new terms.
