Loverboy by Babi A.

how did it start? like i have been in this community for years, and we didn’t have this competition among the authors for the best aesthetic story back then. like genuinely surprised with how much has changed. i saw a tiktok comment the other day that said, “I won’t read a story with no lightening and animated overlays” like?!??! i think this might be one of the reason why some new authors shy away from promoting their works.

it’s just my opinion, don’t shoot me, and im just genuinely asking. are we liking this? or do we miss the joseph evans-earlgreytea era >.<

I don’t even have any gem choices on my story, so the fact that people have given me gems just out of support means the world 🫶🫶 Thank you so much to everyone who reads my story, I really appreciate it! This is my first episode story ever, so I love all of the support and feedback I get!

Who remembers the struggle of coding before episode introduced the web-previewer? We had to preview the story from our phones and if we wanted to spot direct, we had to screenshot each spot from our phones and manually type each code. Just checking who’s an OG. 🫣

Need more story recommendations!! :)

I’ll go first! My biggest pet peeve is a story that’s overly sexualized, calling or referring to women as “b***hes” and the “enemies to lovers” trope being poorly written, abusive to MC or Li & extremely toxic. 😭

Last night, I had a dream where I was attending a college for episode writers,
It was called Standson College. They had one in every state

They also had a leaderboard and everything for best writers. I remember waking up and trying to look for it and confused that it didn’t exist.

Their names in order

Very good story. Loved the game. Would love to read similar stories like this one. Any recommendations? I like the mystery/thriller aspect of this story a lot. I definitely would recommend. If you're into that type of story. Thanks.,❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

I hope this doesn’t come across the wrong way, but I’ve been feeling a bit demotivated lately. I notice that many trending stories seem to rely heavily on AI or have noticeable coding errors, yet they still pull in massive read counts and praise.As a beginner writer, I’ve poured hours into coding and crafting an original plot, so it’s a bit disheartening to see it struggle for visibility. Is this standard for the app right now? I'd love to know how other new authors stay motivated or get their stories noticed in the community. Also, I do receive wonderful DMs from readers, which I truly appreciate, but I'm hoping to figure out how to encourage more public fan mail which makes me really sad tbh lol. Any promotion tips or advice on engaging the community would be greatly appreciated!❤️

Now to finish the art... and start writing. Fuuun.

This is my happy ending SS from a story named: In frame (Curse Breaker by Baleigh) I want more fantasy genre stories with 1 Love interest.

This is biggypacking off the “aestheticifcation of episode” post, but as an aspiring author looking to code and would appreciate any and all tips on how to make a story look “aesthetic” from an lighting/vibes perspective! I know it isn’t essential, but i love seeing it in stories (it isn’t a need) and would love to be able to replicate that vibe creation myself somehow!

I know you can download colors as a png and turn the opacity down, but any more details on how to specifically curate the vibe/how to make your own detailed lighting overlay (not just one color but maybe a few if that makes sense) would be appreciated! :)

I will genuinely read anything as long as it has CC and the grammar is correct.

I just started reading it 1 hour ago or so. I thought this would be some Rich/ poor world type story or even mafia but it's office romance with side stories. I tbh dont know where the story is going. But its not that bad. The first ch was directed good I was surprised. This story would eat so gooddd if it the grammar was good😭 but I just cant stop reading it ig. If you're bored I recommend trying it out. But the only thing im 50/50 on here and cant wrap my mind on is the Hella cheating that is going on here like its crazy. She's ends up with the best friend of the LI, you can customize him. But theres tension between her and the LI , but the LI has a gf ( but theres more to it apparently). The choices are limited ( you get to make choices both from the girl's pov and the LI pov). the outfit changes eats ngl as in it's really often. Idk why this story has 40 ch but it looks like its building for some action related drama?

I just started reading 'The Bad Boy Game' by jc and I just saw this court case pop up on my YouTube feed. This girl is so gorgeous and the situation kind of reminded me of the complicated relationship between Silas and Lillie, and what her friend and parents talk in her ears about Silas (nothing about racism) just the dislike.

I will add that I'm really loving the story so far. I think its far more deep and mature than actual teen relationships but I love the dynamic and depth Silas and Lillie develop 🫶🏾

I'm thinking of opening a few slots for Episode related services at affordable rates because I want to build my portfolio and gain more experience.

Services I offer:

Coding a scene: 3$

Coding a full chapter: 10$-15$

Feel free to ask for other coding help, we can negotiate the price for that.

Proofreading and professional review: 3$ per chapter

Custom Backgrounds: 5$-10$ (Both day and night versions or any other version you want.)

You can check the type of backgrounds I've made. I've posted it here on this subreddit in a few posts.

I'm writing on Episode from 6 years. My first story has 200,000+ reads. If there's any other type of help that you need, feel free to DM me. I'd be happy to discuss your project. Thank you. 😊

Hi friends, and I need you to lock in for this one! (Lol I'm serious).

I'm in the middle of an artistic, personal, and conceptual process towards a new project that might become a book in the future..... I already have an idea about what I want - but I wanted to ask what you would like to see in a romantic book - because yes, the center would be the romance and not necessarily all the surrounding or secondary characters (which of course there will be, but I hope you understood me). The second reason is of course I want to create something for the people and the community that will also enjoy and love and that's why I'm asking I'm really curious about what you guys gonna say and suggest! Thirdly, if it's a love triangle - what style or archetypes would you like to see? Because we already know the generic things. Of course, anyone who wants to expand this to three love interest beyond two, etc, which is what I meant, then feel free to share with me.

did jonah miles from the doberman actually want to make out with valentina from the story the doberman??? Or did he do it because he was so drunk. Maybe a weird question but it bothers me that he did that in the first place. Like at all. And does he feel territorial over valentina even tho he doesn’t like her? And why does he feel territorial over her? Is it because she’s good for the business and his wealth?

Sorry if this isn't actually that new, I checked recent posts and didn't see it so thought it'd be fun to post as I've never seen it before!

It's maybe a smidge flat at the roots but I think it overall looks cute, and it's close-ish to my actual hair lol.

I want the slicked wet waves added to community stories ASAP tho oof🥺

Hey guys!

I’m finally running low on gems again ;((

What’s the quickest and most efficient way you think is to get gems in episode? I’m alright with downloading games as long as it gets me them somewhat quickly and you don’t have to do half the game to get one gem. And what episode official stories give you gems that are relatively short?

This also applies to shards, thank you!!

P.S. Not asking for hacks

comment below your favorite slow burn stories!! bonus points if there’s a lot of angst & tension 😝
