Questions

What makes a good story text?+

Short lines, a clear setup, and a punchline near the end. Keep it obviously playful.

Can I add reactions and images?+

Yes. Add a Tapback to any line and attach an image to a message.

Is this for tricking people?+

No. It is for jokes, memes, and fiction with people who are in on it. Do not use it to deceive or harm anyone.
