You can get a whole episode done in about 3-4 days?! :anguished: that’s how long it takes me just to create outfits for the MC :woman_facepalming:t3:. I procrastinate, overthink and get so indecisive. I’ll be working up to the last second and may or may not make it on time :sob::sneezing_face:

I can, but I am terribly unorganised . I make characters up as I go along. Same with outfits. I make them as I need them . Also I write all the story dialogue on an email then copy and paste it onto the portal as and when I need it . 3-4 days is ’ good days’ if I get an error or something is not quite working right then I have a breakdown and it can take a lot longer . :woman_facepalming: . Xxx

Good to know! :slight_smile:

Lol I am so unorganized too! I write all the dialogue in notes on my phone when it comes to mind then email it to me and try to copy and paste it into the scenes it belongs too but I always get ahead of myself so I have dialogue for the ending and way later chapters mixed in with it and scene dialogues continued in other notes :exploding_head: it’s all over the place. :crazy_face: Lol the worst error is that bracket missing one after so much has been coded then I’m like Noooo! :scream: scroll scroll scroll. :skull: Building muscle on my fingers and eyeballs trying to find where I forgot one. 🥲

Well best of luck with your story! :four_leaf_clover: :sunflower: :dizzy:

This sounds so interesting! Just a slight recommendation— it’s a tad bit hard to see the font, so I’d advise a brighter color, or a white text underneath as a outline/shadow! :blob_hearts:

Hello! I have a suggestion for a contest theme: reality shows. I think it would be nice to see people getting creative with that.
Like bachelors, baking off, masterchef, design, singing, big brother, survivals…

I’m still on episode one… and I’m a slow coder so I don’t feel very motivated. Should I drop out and still continue my story, just not in the contest? The whole “deadline” thing is stressing me out :weary: I prefer working at my own pace…

I guess I can try to make it in time for the deadline, right?

ugh trying to find motivation is the worst! rn im on episode 3, but I’ve decided to redo the first half of my ch.1 and I just haven’t found the time or motivation to finish them. Not to mention my phone is broken so i cant proofread on it or anything so that sucks lol–

if u really feel like u can’t make it on time, or u prefer working at ur own pace, then by all means do what’s best for u! I saw what ur entry is going to be and absolutely love the idea so i’d definitely read it, even if u don’t make the deadline!

try ur best and if it doesn’t work out, that totally fine!
i bet its gonna be a bomb story anyways :grin: :smiling_face_with_three_hearts: :blob_hearts:
