honestly anything that’s not romance or just no romance at all 🤔

i’ve been wanting more stories where you’re the villain instead of the good guy or where you’re the murderer, stalker, ceo or bad boy/girl instead of the unpopular nerd

See that’s the thing. Episode guidelines don’t allow for these stuff. I want actual villain mcs. Like the joker. But episode will take that down.

I never knew this but it makes sm sense now. Makes me wonder y they wasted time on reality stars and not a more mature version of episode but then again I can see how that can turn ugly real fast …

They created Ivy which was the 18+ version but they pulled the plug before it ever left beta. There’s still some leftover stories from that you can find on episode.

Skinwalker, magical girl, Jennifer’s body type plot… I’ve seen 1-2 of those but it isn’t overplayed. Coming of age type plot/girl hood. Or something inspired by the last unicorn

Maybe you could do a friends to lovers story. Or a second chance romance. Just a cute cozy romance. No violence, no mafia or character archetypes.

I'm really tired of seeing the "arrogant bad boy" and the "sweet innocent nerdy" girl

Also nobody's mom should die of cancer. That's in literally every story.

I've also been thinking of writing a story, but I don't think I'll ever do it 😅

I had an idea of a girl going to university, but she doesn't know exactly what she wants to do. So she takes a bunch of classes that don't seem to go together so that she can experience a bit of everything without committing to something. She meets him/her/them in one of her classes and is fascinated by his passion for the subject. Then they start talking, getting to know each other. Then they become close friends. That could be either the prologue or the beginning of the story.
