Develop a story from a premise, characters, and setting. Specify the conflict and ending to guide the plot beyond a general topic.
How to use
Sign in and describe the opening situation. Add genre, point of view, character goals, and plot limits in context. Choose a length and revise continuity after generation.
Example
A station cleaner finds tomorrow's newspaper. Ask for a short mystery told in first person, ending with a choice rather than an explanation.
FAQ
How do I keep characters consistent?
Include their names, motives, and facts that must stay unchanged. Check the draft for contradictions.

A practical task
Plan the character's choice before expanding the scene. A mystery about a lost key needs a reason to care about it, a clue that changes the search, and a consequence for finding it. Keep surprise consistent with facts already shown to the reader.
Another useful question
How do I continue an existing story?
Paste a short scene summary and a list of fixed facts. Specify the next scene's purpose so the continuation advances the plot instead of retelling the opening.
Details for interpreting the result
| Detail | Explanation |
|---|---|
| Fictional continuity | A story needs consistent facts about its characters, setting, and events. A change in name, timeline, or point of view should be deliberate. Keep a brief list of details that later scenes must not contradict. |
| Outline structure | A useful outline gives each section a distinct job and orders those jobs around the reader's question. Repeated headings with different keywords do not add coverage. Remove sections that cannot contribute a concrete answer. |
| Context and audience | The same fact needs different explanation for a specialist and a first time reader. State the audience, purpose, and terms they already know. Relevant context guides wording more effectively than broad requests to make a text impressive. |
| Tone and commitments | Tone changes the way a message sounds, not the obligations it contains. A friendly version must not invent permission, and a formal version must not invent a promise. Compare commitments as well as style. |
| Supplied facts | A writing request needs the facts the finished draft must preserve. Names, dates, quantities, and policies should come from your source. Missing information is a question to resolve rather than a blank to fill with a plausible invention. |
| Editorial review | Review facts, names, omissions, and implications before approving a draft. A smooth sentence can still change a condition or attribute a statement to the wrong person. Compare meaning with the source instead of judging fluency alone. |
