Did you know that Episode has had the same default story covers since 2014? (BTW, the default story covers are the ones that appear on your stories in the Writer Portal and on the app based on the genre you choose, before you upload a custom one.)
Originally, we created these covers to help you get started when you write a story, so that once you upload a custom cover, you can’t currently ever revert back to using them. Now that we’re refreshing the look, we’re also considering adding an option on the story cover page to let you switch back to the default cover for your genre if you want.
Our team is working on changing these covers now, and we wanted to give you a sneak preview of the new ones!
I’m not going to lie, these are all a serious upgrade and I wouldn’t mind if these all become the new default covers.
However the comedy one and the thriller one aren’t the best representations of those genres I feel.
This is one of the coolest updates, though I never saw it coming.
Feels kind of dumb to say it but I didn’t know that default covers were based on categories. I just thought you choosed:’)
