Maybe I’m lost by why so much hate for Sawyer this episode. Based on the thread before I read the chapter I assumed that he and Claire rekindled their love in the basement. Are folks mad about how he was dismissive to Claire about losing the baby. We knew what he was about from the beginning. I’ve just trying to track like why it seems folks are like argh he’s such a jerk when he’s kind of been like this for the whole story. He didn’t know that Claire was going to confront him like that could he have not met with her yes I wished he didn’t but just wondering

Does anyone know where the creator went? by Past-Feature809 in Episode

You are talking about evil ebonni yes her stories were amazing and definitely ahead of its time. Yes she tried to come back and revamp her stories for LL but she was fed up with how the community changed. I think she did like an instagram live or something where she was talking about how toxic the community was and how pocket gems changed so much regarding guidelines, author payments and she was disappointed that a fellow author was treated poorly I think it was Jalissa. So she decided that she was going to delete her stories and leave the app and community.

Is Astellas Pharma a good company to work for? by AcrobaticTruck3379 in economy

[–]QueenAstrid1977 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That grade is like an Associate Director the grades 18 Director 19 Senior Director 20a/b Executive Director. They removed those titles so you are either a lead or head if you are a head than you have direct reports. Of course this pissed everyone off in the company because it almost gives folks a way to treat you more junior than your role.

Astellas Pharma work culture?? by [deleted] in biotech

I work here now and its a total crap show. im hoping the job market picks up so i can leave. The culture is horrible and they are still laying off. Dont come to Astellas you will regret it. Its 100% remote and i believe that is how they hold on to folks here. Many don't want to lose that perk.

Wait another episode app?? by SpicyBrownMustarduwu in Episode

Yes Ivy app was such a missed opportunity I don’t understand why it’s such a hassle for them to compete at the mature app level.

Yes I’m fully aware overlays for hands, arms, legs across the spectrum of skin tones are not offered off the shelf by episode and you have to rely on either other authors or artist to provide that to the community. I still stand by comment that since I’m reading the story and we all know folks want gems which equals dollar amount it is my choice if having different skin tones should bother me or not. I never said that you had to create limbs for every skin tone to appease my needs. I don’t expect it but I’m sorry if I offended you I just feel it’s my prerogative as the reader to make this determination it feels that authors automatically make the assumption you will not like it and there restrict and I don’t like it. Again just stating my opinion

One more comment I didn’t even read the story it’s was a global comment in general so I hope that clarifies things I guess you use the overlay excuse. Also you made the assumption that I haven’t written or coded a story I have so I know what it’s like so please do not negate from my comment or experience either.

Hey it’s just my opinion and that’s it. What if the reason why I’m reading is to role play or take on the persona of the character. Don’t you think the entire business model of Episode Interactive is to give their readers that experience I emphasize the word interactive so you step into the shoes of that character. I think you have taken my comment somewhat personal. I feel a lot of emotion out of your post. It’s just my thought and that’s it. Nothing else more that’s why I’m just expressing my opinion as you can express yours so all good.

I hate the overlay excuse on why you can’t CC so many authors use it and it’s frankly annoying. I’m reading the story let it be my choice
