FAQ

How does the AI Story Generator work?

You provide a brief story idea or premise, select a genre, and our AI crafts a complete narrative with characters, plot, and dialogue. The AI uses advanced language models trained on millions of stories to produce engaging, original fiction.

What genres are available?

We offer 5 genres: Creative (general fiction), Horror (suspense and terror), Romance (love stories), Sci-Fi (science fiction and futurism), and Children's (age-appropriate stories for kids). Creative, Horror, and Romance are free; Sci-Fi and Children's require a paid plan.

Is my story idea private?

Yes. Your prompts are sent to our AI for generation only and are not stored, shared, or used for training. Each story is generated fresh and uniquely for you.

How long are the generated stories?

Free stories are typically 300-800 words — enough for a complete short story or a strong opening chapter. Paid plans support longer outputs up to 2,000-5,000 words depending on your subscription tier.

Can I use the generated stories commercially?

Stories generated by the tool are original AI-created content. Free-tier outputs are for personal use. Paid plan subscribers receive full commercial usage rights for all generated content.

How much creative control do I have over the output?

The more detail you include in your prompt, the closer the story matches your vision. Specify character names, setting, key plot points, emotional tone, and any elements you want included or avoided. If the first result isn't quite right, click Regenerate to get a different take with the same prompt.

Can I continue or extend a generated story?

Yes. After generating a story, click "Continue this story" and the tool will pre-fill your prompt with the story's ending as context. You can then add more direction and generate the next section, building up a longer narrative in multiple passes.

Are the generated stories truly original?

Each story is uniquely generated from your prompt — not retrieved from a database. Two identical prompts will produce different stories. The AI creates original plots, character names, and phrasing each time, so the output is unique to your request.

Can I request a specific writing style (e.g., Hemingway, Lovecraft)?

Yes — mention the style directly in your prompt. "Write a horror story in the style of Lovecraft, with cosmic dread and unreliable narration" works well. The AI won't copy those authors verbatim, but it picks up the structural and tonal signatures — short declarative sentences for Hemingway, dense arcane vocabulary for Lovecraft.

Does it filter or block mature/NSFW content?

Yes. The tool is content-moderated and won't generate explicit sexual content, graphic gore, or content that sexualizes minors. Dark themes like violence, death, and moral ambiguity are fine — the Horror genre specifically leans into them. If your prompt gets blocked, reframe it with less explicit language while keeping the dramatic intent.

Can I set a target word count?

Include it in your prompt: "Write a 1,000-word horror story about..." The AI will aim for that length, though free-tier outputs are capped at roughly 800 words. For longer stories — 2,000 to 5,000 words — you'll need a paid plan, or use the "Continue this story" feature to build the narrative in sections.

Does it support non-English story generation?

Partially. The tool defaults to English, but you can prompt it to write in another language — "Write a romance story in Spanish about..." works reasonably well for major languages like Spanish, French, German, and Portuguese. Quality drops for less common languages, and the AI may occasionally slip back into English mid-story.

Can I use it for screenwriting, scripts, or dialogue-only formats?

The tool is optimized for prose fiction, not script format. It won't automatically output proper screenplay formatting (INT./EXT. sluglines, action lines, character cues). You can ask it to "write only dialogue" or "write in script style," and it'll get close, but for proper Final Draft or Fountain-compatible output you'd need to reformat the result manually.
