They didn’t make a Jewish Heritage shelf despite of the mass appeal! It would great if they had one next year
Personally, I would love to see a shelf for authors that have disabilities. Since I’m an author on the Autism spectrum, Disabilities have been done too and I think Episode should do some newer themes.
Maybe a shelf with MC that give or were given a second chance? Idk, if that’s been already a shelf
Personally I’m fine with Hidden Gems being a shelf multiple times a year. I do honestly feel that Episode has been much, much better with including “hidden gems” on all their shelves now, but I think it’s nice to have some shelves purely dedicated to this.
You can say it’s not really a theme, but then what about Editor’s Picks? Wouldn’t the same thing apply there too?
But I agree they need new topics because hasn’t Hot Pursuit been done before? Disabilities has too, but I don’t think that’s possibly going to be an annual shelf?
That’s not a theme either. Aren’t those just chosen on high retention?
And yeah Hot Pursuit and Disabilities were shelves that were there last year too. That’s why I think there should be some newer themes since they’re just repeating them
I thinks so and also ratings at the end of chapter 3 I think?
So you’d get rid of Hidden Gems and Editor’s Picks and stick to themes if given the choice?
There’s actually an international disabilities day isn’t there? In December? Which is why I think it’s annual.
Yeah I think this is 3rd December
And lol I don’t think they should get rid of them, but I feel there should be better “theme” ones. They are just repeating many themes now from older shelves. I guess there are no contests they’re running out of ideas for themes.
I think I answered this before on a similar thread, but definitely something for Father or Mother’s Day, like stories centering on families or parenthood.
I feel like for hidden gems they should lower the maximum reads a bit since 20k is already a lot IMO… as for shelves: Sci-fi for sure. And I think they should get rid of the Hollywood one b/c it’s honestly So unnecessary since most of those stories fit under drama or romance anyways
I thought of another theme shelf that would be cool: Historical! Stories set is past time periods anything pre-1900s
I’d like that but I wouldn’t want to leave out the early 1900’s. Lots of good story material then.
I think a Roaring Twenties shelf would be cool.
I second this, but I would prefer this shelf once we get some assets.
Ooh, true.
I know I’ve said this before the For the Fam shelf came out, and I haven’t read the stories yet, but I was kinda thinking about stories with protagonists who are parents, but not pregnancy stories you know
Rom-com shelf
Some brainstorming (mentioned and not yet mentioned)
- Historical
- Sci-fi
- Utopian/Dystopian (No. I don’t want my story shelved again, don’t worry)
- Stories with more than one MC (like, groups of friends etc)
- mistake in identity stories (probably very badly translated but I hope you get me)
- mean girl as MC stories
- Professional women (Focus on business environment)
- supernatural
- Highly intelligent MCs
- Semester abroad stories
I was just popping out random ideas that came to mind to start a conversation. These aren’t all on my wishlist.
Bump because they are repeating another theme from last year
Bump because another theme from last year is being repeated
Either new beginnings or something to do with roommates.
