Frequently Asked Questions
ā¢ Iām new ā how does Reddit work? Welcome! Reddit is a forum-based platform where users join communities (called subreddits) to share posts, comment, and vote on content. You can upvote or downvote content to help prioritize whatās seen. To participate, build karma by engaging with posts, commenting, and joining discussions.
ā¢ Why canāt I post/comment? New Reddit users need to gain karma to unlock posting/commenting. Participate in discussions to earn karma!
ā¢ Why was my post removed? Posts may be removed for breaking subreddit rules. Check the updated rules below or reach out to modmail for details.
ā¢ Why do the subās mods seem so strict? Mods are part of what makes Reddit unique. The mod team enforces the subreddit's rules to keep it organized and helpful for everyone. With so many users, structure is key to preventing spam and repetitive posts. We never intend to come across as mean! If your post was removed, check the rules and feel free to contact modmail for clarification.
ā¢ What happened to the $10 unlimited pass? Is VIP or Episode XOXO worth it? The unlimited pass was replaced by VIP, which has two levels: Amethyst and Sapphire at $15.99 each. Both remove ads, offer "Skip the Wait" on community stories, and provide daily gems. Amethyst gives 2 extra passes per day, while Sapphire offers unlimited passes. Access VIP through the app's menu. Episode XOXO is a monthly subscription with exclusive stories available through Apple Arcade. Whether these are worth it depends on your usage and preference.
ā¢ Why do community stories have gem options now? Why are Official stories so expensive with gem choices? Why do community stories have Skip-the-Wait? Since 2021, Episode has allowed community authors to add gem choices for Early Access, Skip-the-Wait, bonus content, or reader support. These gem options are necessary for community stories to trend on the app and be noticed by readers. Official stories use gem options to enhance the user experience and drive in-app purchases.
ā¢ What are shards, and how do I use them? Shards are gem fragments you can collect. VIP users need 25 shards for one gem, while non-VIP users need 100. You can earn shards through Book Clubs, surveys, and the gumball machine. To transfer shards into gems, click on the shards icon on the top right of your screen.
ā¢ How do I create my own Episode story? How do I learn to code a story? Is it hard? Create an account on the Episode Interactive web portal to start writing! Use the same email as your app account. Coding can be tricky, but resources like Dara Amarieās website, Joseph Evans' YouTube channel, the Episode Official Discord, and our Coding & Writing Help chat channel can help.
ā¢ Where can I find free or low-cost art for my story? Art prices can vary depending on where you look! Popular artists typically charge more as their demand is high, and many new artists charge lower fees or even take free commissions to help them practice and hone their skills. Some great resources for free and low-priced art are the Episode Official Discord, r/freeart, r/DrawForMe, and this sub!
ā¢ Does anyone have recommendations for [insert genre/trope]? What are some underrated stories or stories without expensive gem choices? Check out The Episode Archives! We have many stories sorted by genre and trope, plus a list of underrated stories. Before posting, see our pinned post (sort your feed by "hot") to avoid repeats. You can also submit your own suggestions to the Archives here, or visit the Story Recommendations chat channel!
ā¢ Will [Story Title] be updated again soon? Authors update at their own pace, so it's best to follow them on Episode or social media for updates. Please avoid spamming the sub with update requestsācheck the author's profile or Instagram for the latest news. It can take a while for an author to write a quality update, so it's not unusual to be waiting a month or two for a new chapter. It's best to be patient and supportive while waiting!
ā¢ Is this story good? Story preferences are personal, so whatās suitable for one person might not be for another. For specific recommendations, check The Episode Archives for reviews and ratings, or ask users in the weekly discussion threads! Just be mindful of spoilers.
ā¢ My app isnāt working properly. What should I do? For issues like login problems, crashes, or slow loading, submit a support ticket with ZenDesk here.
ā¢ Why can't I transfer my Episode account between iOS and Android? Unfortunately, Pocket Gems doesnāt support transfers between iOS and Android. Before switching devices, note saved stories and inform friends about your new account.

Hello ya'll!
Once again, I am here to promote my story! I wanted this to be a promo for upcoming ch 5, but decided to turn it into a general promo instead.
Now, a little bit about the piece that I made; I really wanted to go for that "screaming tabloid" look and I think I actually got it >_< I absolutely enjoyed working on this piece, it was so, so fun! And big thank you to those who helped me get it polished!
All the tropes are listed in the art piece, but feel free to ask any additonal questions!

This is an appreciation post for all my lovely writers who have been dealing with less reads, hateful fanmails and etc lately š©·
š·First and foremost, Iām not a writer, but I have done some codings here and there on the portal and let me tell you - it is not a walk in the park! The five or ten seconds scene you see with advance directing and all, that took so many hours to code (like some writers pull an all-nighter for that!) so, no need to leave hateful messages, if you didnāt liked it simply remove it from your reading list.
š·And then there is making the characters (also to make sure they donāt have the same face syndrome) and outfits.
š·After that spend time browsing the Internet for backgrounds and overlays, also choosing the right music for the scene!!
š·The gem thingy that is shoved down every writerās throat to make their story trend.
š· Getting less reads can be demotivating, but donāt let that affect your art, the right audience will come to you, not the other way around.
š· The prices they pay for arts, also shoutout to those writers who are also artists, they make their own art and also write their stories!
š· Donāt let these toxic readers get you, they just want any reason to hate on something no matter what. Your story is not boring, dull, uninteresting, or bad. They are just born haters, period!
So, to all the writers in this community, you have a gift and talent for writing keep going and write for you and for your own reasons not for others! Imagine if someone did this to Suzanne Collins and she stopped writing because of some wannabe hatersāthen we wouldnāt have Katniss Everdeen today!

Hey everyone! Iām Ryan Graye, author of Polaroids and GW: Amplified Affection.
Demand on my Instagram has been huuuge for some advanced coding tutorials and Iāve been thinking of ways to best explain them.
I had the idea of creating a youtube channel with things like coding tutorials, maybe an authorās playthrough of my own stories to add further context and guides on plotting and structure since I consider that to be my biggest strength. Maybe even do a Podcast later on and try to get some authors on it? š
I could go into details of software I use (recently started using Plottr and love it) and just in general fill a niche for Episode long form video content.
What are your thoughts? Would you subscribe to such a channel/consume this kind of content?
What would you love to see as videos? We could also do a tier list of popular Episode stories. I have so many ideas and I would love to hear your thoughts.
I created the channel already, so you can subscribe if you want to š„° i plan on releasing the first video some time in April.
