How do you use someones free background, do you have to go through the waiting process all over again? If so, that’s kinda tiring. :pensive:

Hiya! :wave: By the waiting process, you mean the background approval process?

image

Yes, you have to wait for Episode staff to approve of every background that you upload. It generally takes 1-4 days unless they’re really backlogged.

Yeah, it can be really annoying, especially if you don’t know what backgrounds you need in advance, but it’s the price we pay for being able to use their app and not get sued or anything lol. :woman_shrugging: Meh.

Ah, okay. I guess you’re right. Does that mean I have to ask for their credits on the background then drag the image to my desktop THEN get it approved?

Yep, all backgrounds are uploaded the same way, and you’ve gotta credit the background creator in the way they like to be credited. :+1: Backgrounds from public-domain image sites don’t need credit, but backgrounds made by other Episode users do need credit.

Alright, thank you so much for telling me this. I just wanted to know, because I’m thinking of starting another story. I just can’t stick to one idea lol

Same lmao. :joy: Glad to help!

Luckily, you can use the same backgrounds in both stories without having to re-upload, the images save to your account and not to an individual story. :+1: You’ve still got to give credit on both, though.

Yeah, wouldn’t people usually put credits at the beginning of the story?

It can depend on what the artist wants; some want it at the beginning of the episode, others want it to show up in a readermessage every time the background is used, and others are fine with it at the end. Be sure to read the artist’s rules to see if they want it done a specific way, otherwise you can do it whatever way you want as long as it’s somewhere. :+1:

I usually put my credits at the end of each episode unless the artist specifically wants it a different way.

I need help for a scene. I want that a girl bumps into a guy. How can I do that?

Hello, I’ll be very thankful if someone could help me.
I’m wondering are there any LL animations that make characters look on others like they’re checking them out, eyeing etc.

flirt_fingerbite_sexy is a good one :blob_sun:
