HELP- i have so many questions!

[liv.writes]

i’m currently writing my first story and i am SO confused.
first, how do i let readers customize characters? do i have to write the whole thing myself, and if so, can someone teach me how, or is there a template of some sort?
second, how do i make two characters kiss? could someone possibly write out an example for me because i am very confused aha
third, i think this is called spotlight directing but i’m not sure, but how do i move characters around to specific spots and not general places? and how do i resize them and stuff?
i am so lost
thank youu!!

You need to use kiss animations. There are many animations available on Episode. Example:
&CH1 is kiss_makeout_loop
@CH2 is kiss_makeout_loop_rear

That’s spot directing. Go to YouTube for detailed videos on the topic or go through Dara’s guide in the forum as she linked above.
