Missing genre

The app sounded promising, but when I downloaded it and looked for a story to try it out, I couldn’t find one that didn’t presume heterosexuality. If there are any designed to appeal to gay men there needs to be a way to find them. Like an LGBTQ+ genre. Or at least a search bar.

I didn’t want to give a star rating since I didn’t actually use the app. I just felt unwelcome. But it seems you can’t post a review without one.

Response from developer

Hi B!r!u!, thank you for taking the time to write this, and I'm sorry ARC left you feeling unwelcome. That's the opposite of what we want. To be clear: LGBTQ+ stories aren't a missing category on ARC, they're part of every genre. Since anyone can write and publish a story, there's a wide range of romance (and other) stories with LGBTQ+ characters and premises already on the platform, with no restrictions on the kinds of relationships or characters people create. You're completely right that we make this hard to find. We don't have a dedicated genre tag or search filter for it right now, which means you have to stumble onto it rather than search for it, and that's a real gap in discoverability, not a gap in content. It's on us to fix, and we're going to look at adding better tagging and filtering so people can find exactly the kind of stories they're looking for. If you're open to it, we'd love for you to give ARC another look. I think you'll find more there than the current browse experience lets on.

Adventure Time Re-Imagined!

Very cool, creative use of AI to create new and exciting stories. I love the concept of The Runaway and fully expect that to be a movie someday.

Has me hooked

I love how I feel like I’m writing the story. Even better is I can go back and rewrite the story. 1 book but so many different directions it can go in. Genius!!!

Love the stories

Reading the stories keeps you wanting more. Easy to use and you can create your own story! I love reading the short stories and picking how it goes on.

Response from developer

Thank you so much, Jolenemarie! This made our day. We pour a lot of love into every story and it means everything to hear you're hooked on the choices. There's a lot more coming — new stories, new paths, new endings. Stay tuned and keep picking your own adventure! 🙌
