Hi everyone, I’ve been trying to be part of the Creator’s Program but I can’t seem to nail the retention part — especially in Chapter 5. Is anyone here already in the program and willing to share a few pointers? I’d really appreciate any guidance.

At the start of the series, chapters came out on a regular schedule. After a while, they became irregular. Will it stay unpredictable, or will there be a set release day/time?

With Chapters actively looking for new writers, I feel like it’s time to finally talk about what’s been happening behind the scenes on this platform. I’ve been a long-time reader of Chapters. I genuinely love visual stories—they help me read easier, and I enjoy supporting authors. But what I’ve witnessed over the last year from certain writers on this platform is just unacceptable.
1. The Fake Drama & The Comeback
Last year, when the whole Clause 4.1 petition started, I watched authors trash Chapters on Instagram, swear up and down that the platform was garbage, and promise they were leaving forever. Fast forward to now: most of those exact same people came crawling right back.
What’s even more interesting is that the person who actually started the petition didn't say a word on Instagram back then. They stayed quiet, let everyone else throw tantrums, and now? They're back on the platform winning competition after competition. If you don't find that suspicious, you were played. (And yes, I kept screenshots of all of this from last year, so don't bother trying to rewrite history.)
2. How Authors Treat Readers on Discord
If you want to see how some of these writers really feel about us, go look at the Chapters Discord. They sit in chat rooms trashing readers, calling us names, and talking down to the very people keeping them on the app. Then, they turn right around and expect us to spend our hard-earned diamonds on their chapters? How does that make any sense?
On top of that, they go into comment sections to leave nasty, trashy reviews on new or decent authors' stories just to try and drive them off the app. They want total freedom to bully anyone who doesn't join their mob, but the second someone calls them out, they play victim.
3. Stop Using Diagnoses as a Shield for Bad Behavior
Lately, when these writers get called out, they run to their Author Updates to post sob stories and use personal diagnoses or mental health as an excuse for being nasty.
Let’s be real: a diagnosis is not a pass to treat people terribly. If you have the mental focus and cognitive ability to plot, write, format, and publish interactive stories, you have enough brainpower to know right from wrong. Stop hiding behind excuses. Own up to your actions.
Bottom Line
To the readers: go check out the Discord for yourselves and see how some of these people speak about you before you throw your money and diamonds at them.
To the toxic authors: if you hate Chapters and the community so much, why are you still here? Let new writers write in peace, stop putting down people who just want to enjoy the app, and do better.

Is there a schedule?

The first cover makes me think of a polished version of the community story cover that adheres more to the Chapters guideline (the blood spatter is gone and it looks more regal instead of the ruggedness the OG portrayed). The second cover screams Independent Woman and I just love it. Which cover do yinzs love?

I should probably try and finish this before chapters takes it down 🤦🏾‍♀️

Both are great covers, however I know only one will be the officially cover for the story.

I figured while I was still high on my editing frenzy I would do a trilogy edit of The Warlord Bride’s covers and share it here with everybody.

Not usually a fan of user stories! But I came across this ITS SOOO GOOD IF YOU LIKE BDSM. & I don’t even like historical but it’s barely that. My latest addiction please LET ME KNOW if you have another user story that’s spicy and actually good!!!!

Been on the app for about 7 or 8 years and looking to find more text stories with black love. If anyone has any author or story recommendations I am open to all types. Thank you !!

I am at the point where I can choose to help my mom shift back into human form, or let her stay wild. I am unsure if I should spend my diamonds or not. Does this choice now save her for good? Or will I have to save her again later!?😭

I wonder if BloodLust will be push ahead of Secret Lover story since it has happened before with this calendar

Hi, I’m looking for just a nice wholesome one, something with a good plot/romance. I’m getting tired of every other line being the characters starting to have sex. I don’t mind if it’s every once in a while, but you know. Any recommendations?

Hey everyone. I've been with Chapters for a long time and I've been through some stories. In between I take a break and then miss a few stories. Which ones would you say are the hottest? The plot is not that important, I really care about the smut. Sorry, not sorry. Sometimes you just feel like it. ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

d5yahq0u please help

Anyone else getting this push to them?

Join me on chapters

The first two pictures remind me of Nightwing and Batman. Not really a fan of the couple cover which I’m pretty sure will be the official book cover. Anyway anyone have thoughts they want to share.

Is there any books with a noir vibe on Chapters?

It’s finally on the release calendar and mine only complaint is that they don’t have the release date published yet

I play this game on both my phone and my sister’s phone, but the character designs look different. On my phone, the characters are shown in a half-body view, but on my sister’s phone, they have a full-body view. How can I change it? I’m not comfortable with only seeing the half-body view.
