= Quotev = Quotev is a popular website commonly found when searching for quizzes or fan-fiction. Users who hold an account on the website can choose to participate in one of two ways, as a Reader or Author. The setup of the website is very direct and to the point, being able to filter through tags, specific search engines, and choosing whether or not to include stories of more complex and/or darker plots with mature content and profanity.

Catagories
There are four major components to Quotev which users have to filter through: Fiction, Fanfiction, Nonfiction, and Quizes, all of which have subcategories which can then be filtered for more personalized results.
 * Long
 * Action
 * Adventure
 * Fantasy
 * Historical
 * Horror
 * Humor
 * Mystery
 * Poetry
 * Realistic
 * Romance
 * Science Fiction
 * Short Stories
 * Thriller

Authors
Authors on the website have the opportunity to create anything from quizzes and journal entries to blogs and novels. Authors and readers all have the same abilities, but some choose to create and market themselves as true authors, creating a profile and altogether setup for their page which other users an find and easily coordinate back to for the purpose of following the authors works later on.

The one very unique feature of Quotev is that they do not feature any one specific author on their website. Instead they use tags which specifically guide the reader toward their their selected interests without purposely showing the most popular results first (the closest filters which come close to doing so are Recent, Trending, and, Newly Published) enabling every author to have a chance at gaining followers no matter how new or inexperienced they may be at using the website. On average when posting the same story at the exact same time on Wattpad and Quotev, someone will read something posted on Quotev within days if not hours, whereas the other will not be read for weeks if not months and on average, will retain more followers and readers willing to comment on authors works.

Although the website is used for any type of writer, fanfiction writers have a slight advantage to using Quotev than writers who are attempting to start a novel from a brand new concept.

Trending Themes
Popular themes on the website can change drastically depending on the social media, but some happen to remain constant: As the website continues to gain more readers and authors, the updates become more frequent as to how the site is programmed and what tags are being included into the search engines. One of the more popular themes on the website is boys and girls love stories, dipping into the LGBT community to gain more followers. These stories tend to be just as popular for original fiction writers as well as fanfiction writers.
