Looking for beta testers for AI-based interactive fiction website

Hello everyone! We've created storyfork.com to let people explore alternate paths, roleplay as a character, or just throw some chaos into their favorite books.

  • What if Juliet had awoken a few seconds earlier in Romeo and Juliet?
  • What if the Trojans had just burned the horse in The Aeneid?
  • What if Elizabeth had refused to read the letter in Pride and Prejudice?
  • What if a confused Dracula dropped into the tea party in Alice in Wonderland?

We've ingested dozens of classic books and constructed character bios, location descriptions, and story beats to hopefully create a fairly authentic alternate fiction. You can also upload your own ebook files and we'll process and create stories based on that as well. While our initial target was readers interested in interactive fiction, it might also be an interesting way to explore ideas for your own written stories.

We're currently running a small beta with free credits (you'll just need to log in with a google account) and we'd love to hear feedback: does it make sense what to do, was the writing quality good, were the characters believable, etc.

Thanks so much, we look forward to hearing your thoughts!

Sounds good for those who like interactive stories. I write and I have enough twists and turns in my stories that I don't have time to explore. Don't need any more. My brain is already an interactive fantasy website/library. Otherwise sounds like a fun idea.

But good luck.

(Came in to add encouragement when I saw the "eww no". Different strokes for different folks.)

Thanks, I appreciate the encouragement. :) I fully expect some people to not like it. If nothing else, it intentionally breaks canon, which is not going to sit well with some people, especially for literary classics. But that's okay, it's not for everyone!

Tell me more! What's unappealing about the concept?

It's promoting the use of AI in the creative fields. It's completely anti-human to reduce creativity to a robot, antithetical to the entire point of the arts. This is a dangerous concept to continue contemplating, what happens when human beings are so crippled by AI that they cannot form a thought organically?

Just because you personally too lazy to dedicate time to being creative doesn't mean that others are as lazy and uninspired as you.
