Anyone and everyone is free to add my character to their story as long as they credit me as @schittwriter and respect my requests;• • •I’m fine with being the love interest of a completely made up character that the reader does not play as/that is not the character of a fellow author.I would also prefer to not be included in any stories that romanticize the mafia (no offense intended!).• • •You can also tag me whenever you publish! I’d love to try out your story/stories that you’ve added me into. (:

Where can I get FREE backgrounds and overlays for my story?
There are quite a few places around where you can obtain FREE backgrounds and overlays that you’re allowed to use.
I urge you to avoid sites like Pinterest, why? Two reasons:
1) Many pictures there are copyrighted.
2) Most of the time, it is difficult to track down the original creator.Make sure you pay attention to credit and usage requirements by each creator if you intend to use their content.Backgrounds:

Information on Gem Hacking & Unauthorized Internal Code
As an author or a reader, or both, never accept “help” from accounts that claim they can provide you with free gems, passes or boost your story. These accounts typically use hacked gems, which in large amounts, can result in the removal of your story (or stories) from the platform without the possibility of being reinstated.Make sure to contact the Episode Team via a support ticket if you have had your story banned due to a large amount of gems and you believe you are innocent of hacking or accepting “help” from hackers (unless you did hack or accept this “help”).Authors and their stories alike can be banned from the platform if they are found to have used or are under the suspicion of using “unauthorized internal code.” This code can only be used by employees of Episode and/or those who have permission to use it and has not been released for public/community use.Make sure to contact the Episode Team via a support ticket if you believe your story has been banned under this suspicion. Unfortunately, there is no way for community authors to verify what codes in their stories are available for use and what codes are not. If you see “tips and tricks” you are not sure of, you can contact the team to make sure the code is available for use.
Please be mindful that consistently sending multiple support tickets or replying on several occasions to your ticket without the team having responded yet can result in your ticket being pushed back down the queue.
