> Section hub. What a creator is on Reverie and where the money comes from.

A creator on Reverie is someone whose creator application has been approved. Approval is the switch that turns on earnings, direct fan support, creator posts, the creator inbox and entering characters and stories in campaigns. Publishing characters on its own does none of that.

## Getting in \[#getting-in]

You need at least **3 public characters** and a written bio before you can apply. The application is then reviewed: some are approved automatically within the hour, and the rest wait for an admin.

Nothing pays out while you are pending. The monthly reward run skips applicants who have not been approved, so time spent waiting earns nothing retroactively.

## Where the money comes from \[#where-the-money-comes-from]

| Stream              | Paid in          | Basis                                                                                             |
| ------------------- | ---------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Work credit rewards | Platform credits | 5% of the paid credits other people spend on one public work, above 1,000,000 in a calendar month |
| Plugin commissions  | Platform credits | 5% of your plugin's own prompt-token credit cost, scaled by the paid share of that message        |
| Direct fan support  | USD balance      | The full amount a fan pays. Reverie takes nothing until you withdraw                              |

A **work** is a public character or a public story — both earn on identical terms, and each is measured on its own.

Both percentages are flat. There are no creator tiers, and your creator level — a cosmetic rank earned from creator achievements — changes neither rate, nor your withdrawal fee, nor where your works rank.

> Platform credits cannot be converted to money or withdrawn, in any amount, through any flow. They are spending power inside Reverie. Only the USD balance built from direct fan support leaves the platform, and only as USDT on the TRON (TRC-20) network.

## Creator Center \[#creator-center]

Approved creators get **Creator Center** in the main menu, with five tabs: **Overview**, **Works**, **Posts**, **Messages** and **Earnings**. Character rewards are labelled *points* in parts of that interface; they are ordinary platform credits, paid into the same balance you spend from.
