At Fables, we're always looking for new ways to bring creators and readers closer together. Every update we ship is built around one simple idea: give creators better tools to showcase their work, and give fans new ways to fall in love with the worlds they're exploring.

Today, we're thrilled to introduce two brand-new features designed to deepen storytelling and make conversations even more fun.

Say hello to Series Cast Pages, Episode-Level Cast Panels, and Custom Emoji Reactions for Comments

INTRODUCING THE CAST BUTTON ON SERIES PAGES

Participating series now have a brand-new CAST button on their series profile pages.

Clicking it opens a dedicated space where creators can spotlight the characters that bring their stories to life.

Readers can expect:

- Detailed character bios and background information
- Insights into personalities, motivations, and relationships
- Bonus artwork created specifically for that character
- Visual designs and alternate looks when creators choose to share them

Whether you are trying to remember who that mysterious figure was from five episodes ago or you just want to dive deeper into your favorite hero or villain, the Cast page is designed to make exploring a series even more fun.

For creators, it is a brand-new storytelling space. A way to expand your universe, tease upcoming arcs, show off designs, or simply give fans more of what they already love.

NOW ON EPISODES: QUICK ACCESS TO THE CAST

We are also bringing the Cast feature directly into the reading experience.

On episode pages, you will now see a CAST section whenever a creator links characters to that episode. With a single click, readers can jump straight to that character's biography and artwork.

This is perfect for:

- New readers meeting a character for the first time
- Longtime fans who want a quick refresher
- Complex casts where it helps to keep track of everyone
- Returning characters you have not seen in a while

It keeps you immersed in the story while giving you instant context, right when you want it.

REACT WITH CUSTOM EMOJI REACTIONS

We are also rolling out something a little playful.

Creators can now design their own custom emoji sets that fans can use to like comments on their episodes.

Instead of a single generic reaction, each series can have its own expressive flair. That might mean character faces, iconic symbols, running jokes, or inside references only longtime readers will catch.

For fans, it means reacting in a way that feels uniquely tied to the story you are reading. For creators, it is another way to build identity, personality, and community around their series.

Because sometimes a perfectly placed reaction says more than words ever could.

BUILT WITH THE COMMUNITY IN MIND

Every feature we add is built around creators and readers.

The Cast tools let worlds grow beyond the page. Custom emoji reactions turn comment sections into lively, expressive spaces where communities can develop their own language.

We cannot wait to see how you use these tools.

WHAT TO EXPECT

You will start seeing the CAST buttons and episode-level Cast panels appear on participating series as creators roll out their character pages.

Custom emoji reactions will begin popping up in comment sections as creators upload their sets and make them available to their fans.

As always, we are excited to keep building alongside you.

Keep reading.
Keep commenting.
Keep supporting the creators you love.

There is always more coming to Fables!
