How do I earn reads, gems reads, and gems for my story?

Every time an Episode player reads a chapter of your story on their device, you will earn a read for that story. 

A gem read is earned when a player reads through a chapter in your story that contains at least one opportunity to use gems. This could be from gem choices or other author-enabled gem options. 

By choosing to include any of the gem options in your story, everytime an Episode player uses a gem as they read through your story, that gem will contribute to the total gem count for your story as well.
