How 99andFly Studios Works
99andFly Studios is a digital comics platform where you can generate your own comics with AI, organize them in your personal hub, read official and member-made stories, and share your work with the world. This guide walks you through everything.

2. The AI Builder — Make Your Own Comics
The AI Builder is where you create comics and children's books. Open My Comic Hub and go to the Generations tab, or visit the AI Builder page. You create a comic in a few simple steps:
Pick a Genre & Art Style
Choose from 18 genres (Superhero, Sci-Fi, Fantasy, etc.) and 12 art styles (Manga, Comic Book, Watercolor, Noir, etc.). The AI uses these to shape every page.
Add Characters (Optional)
Build custom character references in the Characters tab — name, description, and AI-generated art. The AI will keep your characters consistent across panels. Available on Frequent Flyer and above.
Write or Let AI Write Your Story
Paste your own narrative, or check "AI writes narrative" and let the AI craft the story. You can also add custom notes for specific direction.
Generate & Choose Your Pages
Hit Generate and each page comes back with Option A and Option B (both AI-generated). You can also upload your own art as Option C. Pick the version you like for each page, then publish to your hub.
Understanding Tokens
Generation Tokens
Spent to generate a full comic or children's book. Each tier gives you a set amount per month (see plan above). Tokens accumulate — they never expire.
Regeneration Tokens
Used to re-generate individual pages you're not happy with. Available on Frequent Flyer (20/mo), Founding Flyer (60/mo), and Favored Flyer (100/mo). Buy more anytime on My Comic Hub — $0.25 per token in packages of 4, 20, 40, or 100.
Free Preview Tokens
A shared community pool. Free members get 1 per year; paid members get 1 per month — first come, first served. Members can donate unused generation tokens to the pool from My Comic Hub. Anyone can also donate $4.99 to add a token.
One-time generation: No subscription? Generate a single comic for $4.99 from the AI Builder page. Your comic lands in My Comic Hub just like a subscriber.
Donate to the pool: Anyone can donate $4.99 to add a free preview token to the community pool — helping others try before they subscribe.
3. My Comic Hub — Organize, Publish & Share
My Comic Hub is your personal workspace where all your generated and published comics live. It has six main sections:
- My Series — group your published comics into named series (like "Chronicles of Light #1, #2, #3") for easy browsing.
- My Comics — every comic you've published, split into Public (visible to everyone) and Private (only you can see it). Reassign series names and visibility anytime.
- Favorites — comics from across the platform you've saved with the heart button.
- AI Generated — comics generated entirely by AI (no user narrative). Free visitors can read these without an account.
- Characters — your personal Character Library for consistent AI character art.
- Generations — the full AI Builder where you create, edit, and regenerate comics before publishing. This is where you select images, rename titles, and publish.
Publishing Your Comic
From the Generations tab, once you're happy with every page, hit Publish. Choose Public to share with the community or keep it Private. Published comics appear on your Comic Hub and (if public) in the site's feed.
Token Shop on My Comic Hub
At the top of My Comic Hub you'll see your current token balances and a Buy Regeneration Tokens section. Purchase packages of 4, 20, 40, or 100 tokens at $0.25 per token. Tokens never expire — buy them anytime, stock up, and use them when you need to fix a page. You can also donate your unused generation tokens directly to the community free preview pool — just click the link below your token count.
4. Content Ratings & Parental Controls
Every comic and children's book on 99andFly Studios carries a content rating. Nobody can publish anything to the public without choosing a rating first — it's required. The rating is displayed prominently on every cover so you always know what you're about to read.
EVERYONE
Suitable for all ages. No mature content. Perfect for young readers and family-friendly stories.
PARENTAL VIEW
Parental guidance suggested. Some content may not be suitable for young children — mild action, themes, or language.
TEEN+
Teen and older. May contain intense themes, action, or suggestive content. Not recommended for children.
Setting Your Parental Controls
Parents can filter what content appears across the site — on the homepage, comics library, and feed. There are three filter levels:
EVERYONE Only — Shows only content rated EVERYONE. The safest setting for young children.
PARENTAL VIEW + — Shows EVERYONE and PARENTAL VIEW content. Some parental guidance may be needed.
Show All — Shows all content including TEEN+. Recommended for adults only.
How to set it: If you have an account, go to your Account page and use the Parental Controls section — your choice is saved to your profile and applies every time you log in.
Not signed in? Use the Parental Control dropdown at the top of the homepage feed to filter content on your device. It saves to your browser so it sticks for future visits.
Lock it with a PIN. Don't want your kids to change the filter behind your back? Set a 4-digit PIN on your Account page (or in the homepage dropdown for guests). Once locked, nobody can raise the filter level without entering the PIN. You can remove or change the PIN anytime.
For Creators & Admins
When you publish a comic publicly, you'll be asked to pick a rating before it goes live. Choose honestly — if a comic contains intense themes, action violence, or suggestive content, rate it PARENTAL VIEW or TEEN+ rather than EVERYONE. You can change the rating anytime from My Comic Hub by clicking the rating buttons on any of your comics. Admins can also change the rating on any comic across the site from the Admin Dashboard's Comics tab.
Show as "Agent 99" (Anonymous Creator)
By default, your email address is shown as the creator on every comic you publish. If you'd rather stay anonymous, you can choose to appear as "Agent 99" instead — a shared pen name that hides your email from other users.
- • Toggle it on the publish screen when making a comic public.
- • Or change it anytime on any of your comics in My Comic Hub — click the Creator buttons (Email / Agent 99) on any card.
- • Switch back to showing your email at any time. The choice applies per comic, so you can be Agent 99 on some comics and yourself on others.
5. Share Your Work — Public or Private
When publishing a comic, you can set it to Public (visible to everyone on the site) or Private (only visible to you). Private comics are perfect for personal projects, family stories, or work-in-progress drafts you're not ready to share with the world.
Use the Share button on any comic or series in My Comic Hub to generate a read-only link. Send it to friends, family, or your church — they can view your comics without an account, even if you've kept them private. It's a great way to get feedback before going public or to share personal stories with a select audience.
6. Community & Support
React to AI comics. On AI-generated comics you can tap 👍 or 👎. The most-liked comics rise to the top of the feed.
Flag content. If an AI comic crosses a line, hit the flag and tell us why. Every flag emails our team for review.
Priority Support Tickets: Favored Flyer members get the "Get Help with a Page" button at the top of My Comic Hub. Submit a ticket about a specific page — share your hub link, note the page number, and describe the issue. Tickets go straight to our team for review.
