Each story offers the first three episodes, from 500 to 5,000 words apiece, for free—at which point readers can spend “tokens” to access later episodes. Tokens cost between $2.00 for 200 and $15.00 for 1,700, with individual episode prices determined by word count.
The platform is designed to provide a more interactive experience with serialized fiction. Authors can leave author notes at the end of episodes to address readers directly. Readers can use tags to search for their favorite genres, leave a thumbs-up on chapters they enjoy, and share their favorite stories to social media directly from the app. They can also follow a story they like to receive notifications whenever a new chapter is published, and token purchasers can issue one “Fave” per week to help feature specific stories.
