## Why writers use a story writer AI for scenes

- **Starts from your characters**: Names, ages, jobs, traits and setting come from your brief, and the model is asked to invent the rest to fit them.
- **Any genre and mood**: Cozy fantasy, quiet horror, space adventure, small-town drama: say the mood and the scene follows it.
- **A scene, not a summary**: Prose with dialogue and a title, so you can see your characters act instead of reading a description of them.
- **Two models, two prices**: Claude Sonnet 5 (8 credits) for richer prose, Claude Haiku 5.5 (1 credit) for quick drafts and ideas.

## How to write a scene with AI

1. **Introduce your characters**: Give each one a name, an age, a role and one detail that makes them specific.
2. **Set the moment**: Say where they are, what just happened and how the scene should feel.
3. **Rewrite in your voice**: Use the scene as a draft: keep what fits, change what does not, and write the next one yourself.

## What a story writer AI can and cannot do here

It writes one short scene per run from the characters and situation you describe. It does not plan a novel, keep track of chapters or remember earlier runs, and it can repeat familiar story patterns, so the best results come from specific briefs and your own editing.

Scenes follow the same content rules as everything on the site: no sexual content, no romance involving anyone under 18, no real people and no gore.


## Brief ingredients that make better scenes

Include at least three of these:

- A character with a want and an obstacle
- A concrete place and time of day
- One object that matters to the scene
- The mood in two or three words
- What must not happen yet

## Free story starters

Copy one of these into the brief and replace the details with your own characters:

- A courier who has never opened a package finds one addressed to herself
- Two retired adventurers argue over the recipe for a stew they invented decades ago
- A night-shift librarian notices that one book returns itself every morning
- A ship's cook keeps a secret map tucked inside an old recipe book

## Simple pricing, by the run

- Starter: $7.99 / month, 1,000 credits
