As it says under the Story/Quiz Questions:


 * It can take a bit for published works to appear in the index and sometimes they never do at all—no matter what. Sometimes they don't appear in the recently created section because of glitches. If your story was reported, but not taken down, it will not show up in searches.


 * Quotev will not recognize a quiz or story as "officially published" if it doesn't have a cover image or if it has irrelevant tags. Look for a post on your activity feed that says "[Username] has published [story/quiz]" when you publish it - this usually indicates if your quiz/story is public and searchable. If you're looking for a story or quiz by simply typing its title into the search, you should instead try to find it in the categories it's under and use the tags you put in it. Quotev recognizes tags much better than keywords.

Another reason why it may not show up would be because there are curse words or possibly inappropriate words in the title or description.
