@JiangShi

Hey guys! I’m wondering what does “excessive use of profanity or sexually explicit phrases” exactly mean. :,D Is there a “counter” (or examples) for that or how do I know when I cross the line? (Apart from being reported, because obviously, that’s what I’d like to avoid/prevent.)

When a story is breathtaking by sexuality tension, than you know it’s so much against guidance, that it can’t be fixed anymore. And it’s not just the use of dirty words, it’s all consumed.

each chapter

[writingspirit]

Hey there. I know you’ve prefaced this as just being your experience, but not all of these are true and they might get spread as being hard facts. This one for example isn’t true because their guidelines contradict it in the updated version they posted:

@Hila

Characters over 18 can’t date or have sex with characters under 18, even if one of them is 17 and the other is 18

@ForumAdmin

Additionally, we do not allow characters between the ages of 13 to 16 to have sexual relationships of any kind. They may state that they have a romantic interest (such as a crush/significant other), but cannot engage in sexual activity.

(Although I would actually prefer for your understanding of this rule to be true, at least regarding any sexual component.)

[Hila]

no it’s actually true

[Episode.Cameronwrite]

How come episode can break these rules then in official stories?

[LiyahxWrites]

Can someone break down the rules of cursing because everybody is confused…
What are the rules? Lol.

@ForumAdmin

includes excessive use of profanity

Is there a specific number?
I see excessive clear as day but that doesn’t help.
You have older people on this app. Lol.
I dunno… Can someone break this down?

[Trishlb89]

5 is the specific maximum number

[LiyahxWrites]

That’s not in the guidelines though, that’s a rule made up by a community member apparently

[Trishlb89]

I’ve seen it stated a few times from Episode team members.

[LiyahxWrites]

Do you have a link? I just want to be sure.
I’m not doubting your word.

Reporting a Story -- Introducing Tyler from the Reader Team

Hey Amberose When it comes to swearing, we allow ~5 per chapter as long as the word choice isn’t too severe and also depending on the context. But for a character’s name, we’d run into issues, since it would appear on screen every time the character spoke. If there’s a specific name you have in mind, I can give a better answer.

Here^

[LiyahxWrites]

Thank you, Cee

I have a quick question. For the “no sexual stuff for characters that are under 16 and over 13” What counts as a sexual act? Just 'cause it’s different for everybody. I’m not having any character like that, I was just curious.

[epyjayda]

since this is episode we’re talking about, i assume they mean sexual kissing, inappropriate touching, sexually suggestive material ect.

[MayPenny]

This is BS. So no swearing or love scenes?

[black_jack]

I’m just thinking, since kissing is a borderline thing. It can be if it’s with some tongue action, but if it’s just a peck…then what?

[epyjayda]

im sure that would be fine, but if its a person under 16 getting pecked by somebody older than them, that probably wouldnt be allowed
