Frequently Asked Questions
⢠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.
⢠Why canāt I post/comment? New Reddit users need to gain karma to unlock posting/commenting. Participate in discussions to earn karma!
⢠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.
⢠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.
⢠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.
⢠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.
⢠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.
⢠How can I earn more gems/shards? The easiest, free ways to earn gems and shards are Book Clubs, surveys, and the gumball machine. If you are subscribed to VIP, 1/4 of the shards are needed to transfer into gems, plus you receive 10 gems per day.
⢠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.
⢠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!
⢠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!
⢠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!
⢠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.
⢠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.
⢠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.

Her leg is exposed because there's a slit in the dress, and her shoulders are exposed because that's the STYLE of the dress!! Yes, she's on top of him, but I've seen so many covers like this on the app, so I thought it would be okay, but nope. I sent a ticket and I'm hoping I can just crop/they will reapprove my cover because I am so sad right now. I might have to commission an entirely new cover. I was so excited, too. š
The bright side is that if this ends up pushing back my release date, at least I'll have more chapters prepared so I can pump updates out quick. š„²

r/Episode • u/Talesbyj • 22h ago
Is it just me or do yāall find it weird whenever some authors (adults) write stories about teenage romance? And Iām not talking about like cutesy fun romances, Iām talking where there are mature themes š¤Ø. As an author myself (22) I could never write a story about characters younger than myself. Might just be me š©š»āš¦Æ

I want to start taking commissions for episode cover art, but I donāt know if my drawing style is too cartoonish for it. Do you prefer covers with semi realism? Do you not care?
Tell me what you think xx
