Our Advantages
Immersive format and a sense of presence
Not walls of text, but chat stories that read as if you're scrolling through someone else's messenger. Not a monotonous narration, but full-fledged audio dramas.
Multi-format
«Vzahleb» combines all possible literary forms: fanfiction, originals, audio stories, comics, even classic literature.
Smart recommendations and content for your vibe
The platform analyses your interests and picks the most suitable works for you.
How the Platform Works
You simply open the app or the website, choose a genre (from horror to romance) and dive into the plot. The platform's main feature is the chat format: stories look like real messenger conversations. Very easy to read. There's also regular prose, audio stories and comics / manga. Erotic stories with an 18+ age restriction are published, but strictly without pornography or LGBT content (recognised as an extremist organisation on the territory of the Russian Federation).
The menu has a «For You» section that contains personalised story recommendations. There is also an «Editor's Choice» section where stories that our editors loved are featured.
How to Publish a Story
Just 5 short steps to your first publication:
- Click the «Write a story» button.
- Choose a format: chat / prose or comic.
- Add your story – and don't forget to add tags, especially if it's 18+.
- Upload a suitable and eye-catching cover.
- Submit for moderation.
The story will appear on the site once the editor confirms that it contains no topics prohibited by law.
How Moderation Works
Editors will not nitpick your style. They check the text for the following:
- Whether the text contains prohibited content (pornography, drug propaganda, LGBT themes, incitement to violence).
- Whether the tags are correctly set (in particular 18+).
They may fix the formatting if the text has shifted.
Moderation takes up to 24 hours before the story appears on the site. Once published, it will land in the «New» section, because the platform's algorithms love fresh content.
