I have been with Episode since 2017, I was with Episode when Classic was their only style. I have started countless stories that have never seen the light of day, gotten bored/unmotivated and came up with new ideas. I am currently working on a story, which plot I have been developing/re-working/planning since 2019. I have started this story, scrapped it, and restarted with a different cast 3-4 times now. Each time, I can not make it past 3 or 4 episodes.
I have no problem coming up with ideas, daydreaming about a story that perfectly falls together, and I’m a pretty decent director. My only issue is actually having the motivation to sit down and write. Perhaps it has something to do with feeling like my story plot is dragging? I feel like the story will only appeal to myself? The plot is somewhat generic - vampires but not a carbon copy of Twilight, and not cheesy like the typical episode stories (in my opinion, if you read it and feel that it’s cheesy, it will not hurt my feelings.)
I don’t tend to read stories on Episode, but the ones that I do read are the Episode promoted stories and they all move super fast: move to new school, meet guy, hate him, spend time with him and love him all within 12 episodes.
I’m on episode 3 and I haven’t even introduced the love interest yet This is all by design, but I am wary that readers will be upset at the slow pace. Eventually, it all boils down to what I like and prefer, but every writer dreams of having a popular story, and I would really like it if I could write the story the way that I want and have it received well by Episodians.
What I’m looking for is someone to play through my story as I write it and let me know if my story is too slow. I am open to ideas, feedback, criticism, etc…
I am willing to do the same for you, or more if you’d like. I am completely up to giving plot/subplot ideas, building characters, even isolating overlays out of images to make your directing.
I am not looking for someone to help me write/direct, and between work, writing my own story and life in general, I do not have time to write/direct someone else’s story.
