I found Episode back in like 2015 (Classic era) because of an ad, it looked super cool (I don’t remember what it even was though) so I installed the app and loved it! The community stories intrigued me, and I somehow found out they were stories from actual, regular people!
I thought this was way too good to be true. I mean, an app I can write stories on for free??? So then I (again, somehow) figured out how to get the writers portal and I published my first (Classic) story in 2016!!!
Classic will forever be my favorite style, I absolutely loved the story quality at that time, and how simplistic the directing was.
Now, as for the forums? Even though I CONSTANTLY searched “blah blah help episode interactive” in Google literally millions of times while trying to code my story, I never realized that the forums was actually…part to the community that I could join??? I don’t know, I just never really looked into it haha. Cue the Magicka contest in March of last year, I filled out the form and it asked for my “Forums username”.
So I randomly filled out KylieJay because I’m an obvious risk taker, and then I immediately found the Forums and prayed that my username was actually open. (It was). And now I’ve been here ever since
