I think I screwed up the process and confused everyone on this episode by staging the art/design contest for the epifiction story cards! My bad!
          
          But we have four cards now and you can go back and vote on which one you want. I'm experimenting and learning along the way. Maybe I won't mess with the cards again...
          
          Anywho, we have Giant Squid, Alien Evolution, Alien Assault and Oleg's Minions as the four choices. Check out the awesome cards and comment for which one you want!

Howdily Ho! Sorry for the delay in posting on Everlast, TX. Thanks to @Jewel1307 we have a couple of really great story cards this time around. I went ahead and made a couple others and threw them up just now. So if you want to cruise by and comment on which story card you want to see applied to the next episode, then I'll start my fingers to typing!

Happy not Monday! Epifiction has a bit of a treat for you artistic folk. We're hosting an ART/DESIGN CONTEST for episode six of Everlast, TX. This time, you get to design the story cards AND vote on them. (I know...it sort of sounds like I'm just getting lazy and asking you guys to do all the work...but that's totally not it. I swear!)

          This episode ends with such an epic scene of horror that I just couldn't do it justice. So I decided to let you guys come up with something better.
          
          Just create it, upload it somewhere online and paste the link in the story comments so everyone reading the story can go see it! Don't forget to comment on which ones you like the best. We'll try to narrow them down some, and see which one emerges as the favorite.
          
          I can't wait to see what you guys will come up with! As usual, feel free to invite others to participate as well. The more the epic-er...or epic-ier...whatever.

Howdily Ho, Neighborinos! Today marks the launch date of Epifiction Schools and two more serials: Shipwrecked and Adventures of Cosmo and Chancho.
          
          I post these here to provide you guys with some added reading fun. But be forewarned, the voting on these two serials is limited to people signed up with Epifiction Schools (http://Epifiction.com)
          
          I'll be posting the new episodes every Friday.
          
          If you are 8th grade or below, and want to participate, (or you know of a student who would like to) comment or message me. I would be more than happy to talk to teachers/principals and get more people subscribed.

We've hit 40 followers! Welcome to the new guys. If you haven't had a chance to snoop around yet, I'll give you a brief intro. Epifiction is both an educational publisher and an experimental adventure in crowdsourced creativity and storytelling.
          
          Here on Wattpad, we're launching serials that allow you to participate by playing "wild cards" on the story. Once each episode has a quorum of voters, the winning wild card is written into the next episode! We would love to hear back from you on how you think it is going and what new ideas you have for making this even more awesome.
          
          Our current live serial is Everlast, TX, authored live by @LostDMBFiles
          
          we're still looking for another vote or two on the fourth episode: http://www.wattpad.com/66827951-everlast-tx-don%27t-drink-the-water
          
          So far, the "Alien Spores" wild card has the lead...
          
          Check it out if you haven't, and invite anyone else you think would like to read and play along!

We just ticked over 30 followers, and in just a couple weeks. Boom! I know the third episode posted a few days ago... and some of you might be dying for the next. But I'm gonna wait a few more days to see if we can drum up a few more votes. I want to make sure enough people are getting a say in the direction of the next episode so that the best option wins.
          
          If you've read Episode Three, "Anybody Home?" and haven't voted and/or played a wild card via the comments, then get in there and give us your voice! So far, it is a tight race between Mad Scientist and Guardians. But we can't count out Megalomaniac.

Wow! Thanks for all the great participation/inspiration. You guys jumped right in to the song of 11 votes. 6 were for systems failure, that is the direction the next mini-episode takes.
          
          Things are only going to get crazier from here on out! Spread the word and let's see if we can get twice as many people participating in this episode.

Is there a workaround for mobile? I can't see the cards on Android. :(

LostDMBFiles

Well that much is good, I suppose. There isn't any way to post the images as a part of the story, and I haven't been able to find any other way to do it. For now, that might have to be the best fix. I'll make sure to let other people who have trouble with the images that they can cycle through the header images. Thanks for figuring that out. I'm guessing there are other people with the same issue.

@epifiction  So you can view the cards (on Android, at least) by cycling through the header images.  Not super intuitive to do that though, unfortunately.  Or, maybe I should have just realized earlier to do that :)

I'll have to experiment with some stuff. I tend to use the website on my tablet and avoid the app, so I hadn't tested the functionality there.
