Let me start off by saying. It’s very late. Almost 5 am. I am extremely frustrated. I’m encountering constant errors with my tappables, for the outro, mostly the “there is a { on line # that does not have a matching }” error.
Here’s how my current script looks with numerous edits.

}
label gen_questions
NARR (AUTHOR)
General questions about the story.
choice [shouldPaginate:YES]
“When will you update?” {
NARR (AUTHOR)
As often as I can.
Besides writing on Episode, I also go to college and have a job as well!
But I’ll definitely be writing on here still.
goto gen_questions
} “Do we get to re-customize Angelina?” {
NARR (AUTHOR)
No, you can’t re-customize Angelina.
goto gen_questions
} “Can we customize any of the other characters?” {
NARR (AUTHOR)
No, you can’t.
goto gen_questions
} “Do we get to play as all the characters?” {
NARR (AUTHOR)
All the main characters?
Yes.
goto gen_questions
} “Will there be more characters?” {
NARR (AUTHOR)
Yes, there will!
You’ll see them in the later episodes.
goto gen_questions
} “How many lines do you write per episode?” {
NARR (AUTHOR)
1000-4000 lines.
goto gen_questions
} “Is there multiple endings?” {
NARR (AUTHOR)
There’s only 1 penultimate ending!
goto gen_questions
} “What are the points for?” {
NARR (AUTHOR)
Special interactions and bonus scenes.
Also affects how a character is affected by the ending.
goto gen_questions
} “Will there be any gem choices?” {
NARR (AUTHOR)
Nope!
goto gen_questions
} “How many episodes will there be?” {
NARR (AUTHOR)
I’m not completely sure.
I’m gonna estimate about 16-20 episodes in total.
goto gen_questions
} “Will there be any art scenes?” {
NARR (AUTHOR)
No. I’m considering it, though.
goto gen_questions
} “I’m done!” {
NARR (AUTHOR)
Great!
goto FAQ
} “I have no questions.” {
NARR (AUTHOR)
Okay.
goto outro_menu

label author_questions
NARR (AUTHOR)
Questions for the author.
choice [shouldPaginate:YES]
“Who’s your favorite character?” {
NARR (AUTHOR)
Cynthia and Blair.
goto author_questions
} “Who’s your least favorite character?” {
NARR (AUTHOR)
Probably Vincent.
goto author_questions
} “What inspired you to write this story?” {
NARR (AUTHOR)
I was primarily inspired by the Shakespeare play |italic| Macbeth.
I later began watching reading other things to help write the story.
Inspirations include:
“Forest of a Thousand Lanterns” by Julie C. Dao, the telenovela “Teresa”…
K-dramas “The Women’s Room”, “Glass Mask”, “A Bird That Doesn’t Cry”, and “Ice Adonis”.
Lifetime movies helped me too, surprisingly.
goto author_questions
} “Why’d you write this story?” {
NARR (AUTHOR)
I’d never seen any stories involving an evil MC and morally grey characters.
I decided to take the initiative and write it myself.
Black MCs are also uncommon on this app, ESPECIALLY evil ones.
I knew I wanted a diverse cast too, so I threw that in!
Eventually, it ended up being a super rich world that I truly loved.
Plus, we all love drama!
goto author_questions
} “Are there any good characters?”{
NARR (AUTHOR)
That depends on your definition of “good”.
To me, there’s only villains and victims.
There’s no such thing as totally good or totally evil.
The characters are morally grey at best.
goto author_questions
} “What do you when you start writing?” {
NARR (AUTHOR)
I like to turn on my writing playlist, sit down somewhere quiet, and just start writing.
I also try to get into that space of “aspiring TV show” creator.
It helps me a lot.
goto author_questions
} “How long does it take you to write an episode?” {
NARR (AUTHOR)
2 weeks to a month.
Maybe even 2 months to make sure the directing is perfect!
goto author_questions
} “Can we support you without gems?” {
NARR (AUTHOR)
Of course!
By sharing the story with your friends and following me on Instagram…
I can get support that way.
Shout-outs and reviews are helpful too!
goto author_questions
} “What’s your Instagram?” {
NARR (AUTHOR)
My Instagram is kikis.stories.
I post sneak peeks, previews, and have discussion posts about the story there.
And I’ll follow you back too!

Can someone please help me? I wanted to try out tappables for a more interactive experience. I knew I’d have issues with it, now I’m wondering why I did it in the first place… smh.
