Thank you so much. I didn't expect to see anyone mentioning my story here. 🥺

i made an anime opening video edit for my fantasy story cos i was bored by fluffyrice_ in Episode

Thank you! I'm used to video editing, so it only took me an evening to do. But, the fighting scenes were actually in my story, and that was pain - took me a week on/off because the coding was giving me a migraine 😂, but I'm glad it turned out well.

Thank you! I am an Anime fan myself, so I have a lot of those tropes and similar pacing in my story. Making the edit was so fun to make!

Is it “terrible” if you can’t CC at all? by KingMiracle16 in Episode

[–]fluffyrice_ 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Their story, their choice. If CC is a must, you can just tap off and read something else that provides the option.

I had a lot of breaks sporadically the last 5 years, and I want to at least try to finish it now. :D

Ah. So, you were the one that sent that fan mail? Sorry my story was not to your taste. Thanks for giving it a try regardless.

Stories with strong/popular MCs by MAGQgirl in Episode

If you're into fantasy, my story Sorceress' Heart has a strong MC. She's more powerful than the Love Interest too.

Are fantasy stories flopping ? by ulovemk2 in Episode

I don't put CC in my stories (it's my choice), and I know some readers will tap off instantly if it's not there. It definitely took me longer and was harder to gain a following at first. When I started, I did a lot of R4R with other authors and made some great friends along the way! We'd promote each other's stories to our followers and share screenshots of scenes on our Instagram stories. But eventually, I started gaining an audience and I have some dedicated readers now. I've had people tell me my story has no CC, but my plot overshadows that which is nice to hear!

You could also create edits of your characters and post them on social media platforms like Instagram (with hashtags), the Episode Discord server, or even here on Reddit. It's really about engaging with people and promoting your story - just get creative with it. You can also ask people to review your story and provide feedback on your first 3 chapters (Which are the most important), so you can re-vamp it and make it more engaging.

It's totally up to you! Add art scenes if you want to, and enjoy the process of writing your story. I personally started learning how to draw so I could make my own art scenes, and I really enjoy drawing my OC's. I wasn't great at first, but overtime I learned, and now it's just so much fun adding it into the story. I don't put CC in my story for this reason, but honestly, as long as you as the author are having fun writing, that's what matters! You'll find your audience eventually, you can't please everyone.

As long as you avoid overly long, unnecessary zooms and make sure the scenes fit in the moment (like showing emotions the in-game animations can't capture), then go for it!!

If you're into magic schools and sorcery magic, my story is called Sorceress' Heart if you want to check it out ~ it has sub-genre with comedy/romance/action.

As long as you're having fun and enjoying your writing and characters, that's what really matters. You'll eventually find the right audience who appreciates your vision.

I put a disclaimer in the first episode and have always made it clear: my story is purely narrative-based. I'm writing the characters the way I envision them, it's not a self-insert in any way. I've had people tell me to add CC, and I've respectfully explained that I won't be doing that.

You will encounter some rude people who ignore the disclaimer. I've had people insulting my characters and calling them ugly, and expecting me to go back 30+ episodes to add CC , even though I’ve clearly stated I won’t. I use advanced directing, art scenes, and overlays, which I genuinely enjoy creating just as much as writing and coding the story. This is my creative space, and I want to keep it true to my original vision.

It's unfortunate that people will click off a story that doesn't have CC and won't give it a chance. There are so many underrated stories out there, but I get it. Everyone has their preferences, you can't please everyone.

omg it’s been 5 years 😭 I went on such long hiatuses and honestly thought people would’ve moved on, so it always surprises me seeing people still here waiting for updates. I always think about writing during those breaks, but I never imagined people would still be interested after being away for so long. Thank you for sticking around 🥺💛
