There used to be a partnership between Pocket Gems and the Comedy Central adult cartoon Ugly Americans.

It was a story in the Episode app in which you played as the show's main character, Mark Lily.

Many songs from the portal actually originate from that partnership, such as: funk_interlude, interlude_gfunk, interlude_jazzyvar, jazzy_interlude, interlude_flute and interlude_organ.

I remember playing it back in 2014, but I can't remember the exact plot.

If anyone's curious, this site has more details:

Thought it'd be a fun fact to share! Do you guys remember this?

idk it’s just such a close competition between the two LIs! how will i ever decide??

(there’s not really anything wrong with xander i just don’t like him lol)

Hiii i'm a broke teenager looking for some artists? 🥲 i really don't want to use ai and idk how to make one with the episode characters 🥹 i have all the references and im willing to shout your account out whenever i use it - thank you sm if you can:) i just need you to tell me where i should dm !

Coming out on Friday. The real war is starting. 👀

EEEEK SO EXCITED TO SHARE THIS!! TITLE BY @/alilovespercy.ep on Instagram, and the art itself is by @/milkyyyx.png on Instagram! They did phenomenal jobs 💕

Story Description: With a recent murder and old secrets starting to resurface, it's up to you and your friends to solve this mystery. Do you have what it takes? No one's innocent. (CC /4 MCs)

this is a genuine question. the title of the eyeshape having smokey eye always allures me in cc but each time i click it's (obviously lmao) that shape which just looks really odd to me. so i want to genuinely know what people like about this eyeshape and when they use it?

Truly disappointing. Then I'm torn between finishing it or dropping it bc the story is so good & I want to keep reading but I don't want to support generative AI 😭

This isn't about one story specifically, as it has unfortunately happened to a lot of ongoing stories i started reading 😞

Hey everyone! 😊 I created a new book club about a month ago, and we’d love to have you join! 📚✨
We’re looking for active members who enjoy participating in discussions, polls, and activities. If you haven’t been active for a month, you may be removed from the group to make room for new active members. No hard feelings—we completely understand that life gets busy! 💕

This might be an unpopular opinion but recently, I have discovered that there is a new wave taking over the Instagram author community where it has become normalized to publicize every internal argument happening in group chats. There are times when the concerns are valid and involve bigotry, but the recent posts I've seen seem to stem more from misunderstandings that could/should have been resolved in private.

I know Episode is a small community, but I think authors should still uphold a certain level of professionalism. It is also odd how normalized it has become to publicize private DM's and conversations. Something about this feels unethical, is it just me? Is anyone else even bothered by this stuff?

EDIT: Because it keeps getting mentioned in the replies, I have gone back and viewed the Google Drive in full. I still don't believe it was necessary and actually might be more harmful than the original intent because all I have gathered is that this drama is no longer about ableism awareness but about a massive case of misunderstandings and things lost in translation as they were relayed by different parties. Maybe this is a lesson to be direct with your concerns rather than opening side conversations. I have seen more authors talk about this petty drama than I have seen them write their actual stories so maybe that is where my frustration as a reader lies.

Sorry for the delay! I had my wisdom teeth unceremoniously yanked out. But here we are!

This chapter made me bawl omg 😭

Can’t believe my feminist story is at it’s pre-finale

Do you think the cat might be too big compared to the kid? 💀😂

I came to read this story because I thought it would be fun. It is. I am enjoying. Also the outfits are very nice.

But the reason she came to the show was kinda creepy and disturbing😭.

And to think that it actually happens to people in real life is also sad. I do recommend this story

Hi! I'm currently coding my first story and came up with a cute idea for some outro art of the main characters. The MC has a big love for photography so I was planning on drawing the characters as if she took Polaroid photos of them. However, this would not follow the plot of that specific episode. Would this be a fun addition or would it bother you seeing characters interact that aren't friends yet or more stubborn characters seemingly having fun?

Meet Yuka and Zale, they are both real supernatural beings long story short, they are camouflaging at a Halloween party.

Story name: Raquelle's Rush
Author: Mae VT

all props to the author i guess but i dont see how a story can drag that long, has anyone read this?

Does anyone know if it’s possible? I accidentally deleted my Episodes account and I wondering if Episodes can retrieve it for me or if I’ll have to start all over again. Thank you! 🙂

So I took a really long break from Episode because I just couldn’t find anything that properly grabbed my attention. I started quite a few stories, but ended up dropping them.

The writing style/ production is honestly so important to me. That being said, if the storyline is amazing, I don’t mind the production as much.. as long as it’s well written and keeps me invested. I’m also not really a murder mystery girl (sorry), I’m a hopeless romantic. These are some stories I absolutely LOVED and have either finished/ waiting for the author to complete:

Illicit Affairs by apdvstory
The Doberman by Meesza
Only Pretend by Charlie Seb
Under You by E R Gurney

I also started these and really enjoyed them, but ended up dropping them after around 10 episodes or so (just want to say.. I think they’re all amazing, I just couldn’t get fully into them):

Symphony by fern.episode
Prince of Malibu by Lexi Mae
Cabin Fever by Georgia Sanders
Bad Influence by Yves
Under His Protection by Amanda Michele
Play Dirty by Yves
Made For Each Other by Daphne De Carter
Marriage As A Deadly Weapon by Babi A.

Please send me your recs 🥹 I’m desperate to find a story that completely pulls me in again!! Also, are there any stories I dropped that you think I should give another chance?

I'm currently trying to create my childhood Ocs and I'm not gonna lie, I'm not exactly happy with the clothes and accessories they currently have in the portal.

To give you an idea of what I'm trying to go for, I'm a big Arcane fan, to be specific 2016 me based my OCs on League Of legends characters.

I tried to recreate the clothes and oml 🥀🥀 I guess that's one way to keep the designs original..

Kinda freestyled on the last one, her personality was already similar to Jinx so I didn't want to copy her looks.

(Don't worry the story is entirely different)

I'm new to episode so I don't really know much but I LOVE this hairstyle, but I can't find it in other stories, so I wanna know why?
