I’d be very interested in running a private pilot on your novel. Since it is unpublished, the result would remain private and I would not use or share the manuscript without your permission. You can reach me at [email protected] or through the contact link on the site.
Absolutely — The Wandering Inn was on my mind from the very start when I was designing this. At 14M+ words it's pretty much the ultimate stress test of the whole approach. But I won't run it without the author's consent — I'll be reaching out to them soon.
Thanks! On the source: I honestly never planned this as an open-source project — the prompts plus the programmatic validation between stages are most of the product. But I'm planning a technical post soon that goes deeper into the architectural details I've been converging on over the past six months.
On scaling: context almost completely stops growing after chapter ~70 in the case of the Oz series. By my estimates it's chapter ~90 at the latest depending on the story — for practically any story, context growth flattens out around there. The theoretical limit of the system should be somewhere around 80 million words.
That's right! The system quickly updates the plot chart as new chapters are released, and the author doesn't have to create and maintain the wiki themselves.
Primarily it's a way to build a model of a story's world, and two things fall out of that.
1. A wiki for the story. For the author and for readers, so you don't forget what happened 300 chapters ago, which promises are still active, and so you can explore a story you love structurally.
2. Translation. The system scales to millions of words, so when it translates chapter 100 it has the full, precise context of what happened in chapter 1, including speech registers, relationships between entities, and a synopsis of the world.
I read very long web serials myself, and I kept losing the thread of stories I loved. So primarily it's a way to build a model of a story's world, and two things fall out of that.
Maybe it would be a good idea to add themed SVG images or emojis so that when selecting a “Mood” or other options, you wouldn't have to read through every single option in full.
