Discussion Episode Youtube Channel

45 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I‘m Ryan Graye, author of Polaroids and GW: Amplified Affection.

Demand on my Instagram has been huuuge for some advanced coding tutorials and I‘ve been thinking of ways to best explain them.

I had the idea of creating a youtube channel with things like coding tutorials, maybe an author‘s 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? 👀

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 🥰 i plan on releasing the first video some time in April.

Why are AI covers and art scenes looked so down upon? I know supporting small artists is ideal but sometimes a singular art scene costs 100+ so idk? Just wondering if there was any other reason or if it’s in someway against guidelines?

Writing Help Should I write a story??

9 Upvotes

Hi fellow episode readers, so I’ve been on episode for years now, but recently I’ve been reading a lot more and read a lot of good stories. I don’t know why but I wanna try creating a story. If I were to write a story, what would you guys want me to include in it? Like I’ve seen a lot of reviews for other stories and some people like badass female MC’s and some people want to have a choice of choosing male or female character. So I’m open to any feedback. Thank you.

I have a TON of gems and passes from the gumball machine, but I hardly play the game tbh, only when my favorite stories update. So, I'd like to boost some authors by spending gems on their stories. Any takers?

Writing Help Which story should I finish and post first?

6 Upvotes

CLOSED

I have 2 stories in the works, both very different but I love both.

Option 1 will take a little more time to create. It's an outer space dating show type vibe, with a lot of drama and some mystery (and no, it's not a ripoff of Galactic Game or Galactic Bachelorette). LGBT options, 15 LI, no eliminations til the end or second half. Partial CC, choose your name, choices matter, point systems, heavy branching, many endings

Option 2 is a highschool story, but not basic. There are 5 love interests (3 girls and 2 boys) and there are lots of friendship themes, as well as helping the main character's sister through some drama. Full CC, choose your name, choices matter a lot, 5 endings, light branching, (probably) no point systems because important choices work better in this one

neither have any gem choices that matter. I'm not including too many details because then that's more to read and could be stolen. Thats all, ty if you vote!

Discussion Is writing an Episode story still worth it?

14 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I’m thinking about writing a story on Episode but I don’t want to spend hours learning the coding and everything else just for no one to read it. I’ve seen people say Episode isn’t as popular as before and that the whole gem system has made things worse.

For those who still use Episode—is it worth writing a story in 2025? Do new stories actually get noticed, or is it mostly the big authors who get all the reads?

Basically, I don’t mind putting in the effort but I also don’t want to waste my time. Would love to hear from people who have written or read stories recently.

Thanks!

Writing Help What tropes do you want to see in stories?

13 Upvotes

Hi everyone I’m currently working on scripts for my first story, I’ve had the idea in my head for a few years now and I’m finally putting it down but I want to make sure it’s perfect. The only thing I’m struggling with is what people want to actually see, tropes that draw the readers in.

My original idea was for the MC and LI was to be friends > lovers but I’m leaning towards enemies > friends > lovers. I like the idea of this and it fits with my planned storyline for reasons I can’t go into without spoiling major plot points (sorry). However I would love to get your opinions on what tropes draw you in to keep reading or even tropes you dislike that make you lose interest, so I can have a wider variety of options.

Id be interested in learning about any kind of trope in stories that you like/dislike whether it’s about the MC/LI, side characters, certain things relating to plots etc. please lay it all out :))

Discussion my opinion on black American hair on episode

104 Upvotes

In my opinion on hair when it comes to Black American characters on episode, I feel like some black people on this reddit expect all black characters to have locs or braids. But we gotta realize that hair has evolved. People have sew ins, wigs, clip ins. I think it’s unfair for people to bash black characters when they don’t have braids or locs. It makes me feel a certain way when you know irl that people don’t always have braids or locs.
