What Happens When Story Access Expires

Story access is time-limited by design. This ensures clarity, fairness, and momentum during collaboration and evaluation.

What expiration means

  • Access to specific episodes, materials, or notes may be removed
  • The story may return to general availability
  • Prior access does not imply ongoing rights or exclusivity

What it does not mean

  • It does not indicate rejection
  • It does not close future opportunities
  • It does not prevent re-engagement

Options after expiration

  • Renew access under the original option terms (if still available)
  • Extend access via a standard six-month extension
  • Explore alternate stories better aligned with current goals

Why expiration exists

  • Keeps projects moving
  • Prevents indefinite holds
  • Respects the creator and collaborator’s time
  • Maintains fairness for all interested parties

If you’d like to continue the conversation, the next step is simply to request renewed access or discuss updated terms.
