BEFORE YOU PRESS PLAY

A little clarity.

Good stories. Clear expectations.

Can I watch the stories here?

Shorts After Dark is a discovery directory. Stories open on Candy AI or Secrets AI, where the provider controls playback and access.

Is a subscription required?

An account or paid plan may be required by the provider. Check the current terms and prices on its website before signing up.

What does “new episodes” mean?

That label reflects the latest source-page snapshot. It is not a promise of a release schedule; the provider has the current episode information.

How do saved stories work?

Opt in to optional browser storage to save titles on this device. No account is needed, and you can clear your saved data in Privacy preferences.

Are these affiliate links?

Yes. Provider links retain the source's affiliate attribution and may earn a commission. Read the full disclosure.

THE NEXT CHAPTER IS YOURS
