What happened to The episode in the last 3 years?

[BlueWhale]

So, I haven’t been using Episode for like three-two years. Could you tell me what has changed? Besides a whole bunch of new stories with cool covers

Also, I’d like to hear your opinion. Three years ago I’ve written a story, but never downloaded it. Something hit me and I decided to do this anyway. Should I delete my previous account and create a whole new one? I’m not sure how it works now, but what are the chances people will notice your story if an account was made such a long time ago?

Episode Android Version 12.26.1 Update!

Hey Episodians! As you all know, our team is always working on improving the Episode experience for readers. In exciting news, we’ve made some MAJOR technical changes to our Android app that should improve loading times, remove common bugs, and make animations play more smoothly. However, with this upgrade, we did have to temporarily remove two features while we get everything up and running: Profiles and Story Share Links. These will be returned as soon as they can in a future app update. We…

Replacing the Trigger Warning Screen

I like this but what might be triggering to one person what might not be to another, same for topics. It’s very vague and not specific enough.

Saying Goodbye to the Social Feed

I know I’m way late, but I used and wrote on episode from like 2015-2018 took a break and now I’m back and I never used the forums. So I’m like reading everything. Anyways, with that being said, what the heck was social feed😂 like I get I probably didn’t have it, considering so many people saying many of us didn’t… but I wanna know what it was? Was it the fan mail thing?

Writer Portal Previewer/Story Previewer Update: Directing Helpers

Please. It’s so annoying. Every second go out to fix the speech bubble. That it will continue the dialogue without leaving. Also about the camera and everything that could be continued with the helpers on

Don’t create a new account, it’s really hard to unlock community stories now. I actually haven’t played Episode in 2 years, I just came back a month ago, so a lot has changed. The comments above explain it though

No, do not create a new one, because the team are working on the app, and it’s okay if you haven’t used it in a while. U can still promote your story everywhere regardless if it has been too long.

Omg, new coding… well that’s all a little bit scary, but thanks:)

There are now rules about story covers.

The Episode Guidelines as I Understand Them

Understanding the New Guidelines Recently, I’ve noticed that a lot of creators (including myself) are confused about the new content guidelines . This post is to help us all understand what these mean for our stories on the app. I’ve taken the new guidelines and added them to this post so that we can break them down and understand them. If there’s anything you think I should add or change, just let me know Episode’s Content Guidelines (link) Stories must be appropriate fo…

So I read the thread and now I have a question about this one rule. Is it ok if I ask you?

It is mentioned that you can’t show parent abuse. In my story (since it was written 3 years ago lol) a mother of the main character in a big quarrel calls her stupid. Is it still ok?

mother of the main character in a big quarrel calls her stupid. Is it still ok?

Well they used to feature different kids of stories, even movie themed ones (eg Clueless, Mean Girls.) Now it’s only mafia, bad boy and pregnant ones.
