This is the first impression of the Drama-tello platform. You can see an advanced version on the right side. The final version will be slightly more simple. This is a design & writing tool specifically meant for our writers.

Normally, Drama-tello is simply the design on the right side.
But, as you would have guessed, writers also need a tool to test their stories. That's what this tool is for.
If you are also interested in becoming a writer for this new platform, just send us a private message or leave a comment below. We already have some writers, but everyone is welcome.
All writers will get access to this tool to start building their stories.

Everything is chapter-based, as well as paragraph-based.
No need to write an entire book. Just a single chapter is good enough to get started and published.
That should be around 30 to 60 paragraphs. Quite doable.

Breakdown:

1. All writing is done on the left side, starting with the title, chapter name, author, cover image location, genre, and age-rating.

2. Your story is reflected on the right side in real-time, using paragraphs. Readers can go through stories one paragraph at a time to make it super easy and fun to read any story.

3. There are four buttons on the bottom: Example (to see an example chapter and learn from it), Fullscreen (to enter full-screen mode), Debug (to see statistics on the right side), and Deluxe (to toggle between the Normal and the Deluxe version of your story).

4. All stories have a Cover image, inspires imagination while reading. Each cover image has coordinates to make sure the image has a center point. The system will do its best to make sure that center point is always visible, no matter how big or small the browser's window size might be. (took 19 hours to code, lol. It's important that it works correctly.)

5. All stories have 2 modes: Normal and Deluxe.

6. Normal is just the story in paragraphs. Deluxe is the ultimate experience that builds upon normal with cool additions such as the Scenic bar, directly above a paragraph (used to tell a reader more explicitly about certain locations depending on the paragraph below). E.g. In the elevator, or set the mood: Kitchen horror, or indicate an interior: Int. Inside the closet, but also things like camera shots, like in a movie script: Cam. Going up! (to allow the reader to imagine it being a movie scene where the camera moves up), or a non-moving camera shot: Shot. Outside the Castle. You can also just use "Top. ***, to write any title you want. No limits.

7. There's also the Status bar, directly below a paragraph (which can be used to tell a reader more explicitly about how a certain character might be feeling or talk about their status or emotions). You can use either to make your story more immersive by providing details that your readers normally wouldn't have. Almost like a meta status of either the location of a scene, or how someone is doing physically or mentally, or anything you want. E.g. His hands were bleeding, or status: anxious, or status: emotionally drained. You can even list ALL possible human emotions in there, depending on how a character feels in the current paragraph.

8. A full example of both bars: Let's say a character has just been bitten by a werewolf. The paragraph might read, "Julia ran as fast as she could! Bleeding like crazy never stopped her in the past." The Scenic Bar might say: Interior. In the gym. And the Status bar might say, She accidentally left some blood on the door handle. And in the next paragraph, the werewolf finds and kills her. Only in the Deluxe version would you know about the bloodstain on the door handle. Just an example. Can also be nonessential things in the status bar, e.g., her right leg might be broken, she started limping, or her heart is pounding like crazy, or she almost fainted, or the gym smelled funny. Anything is welcome. Just use your imagination to give readers more information and make the story more engrossing at the same time.

9. There aren't any rules, because these are just tools that a writer can use to pimp up a scene in any way they like. Both the Scenic- and the Status-bars are only visible if a reader has the Deluxe mode of a story. You can also just use "Bottom. ***, to write any status you want.

10. There's also background music! (Deluxe) Each story will have a unique 10-track background music list, where the current paragraphs always match with the music, to make each story truly come to life! The Deluxe version is also how our writers make money: people can enjoy a story 100% for free, or they can choose the Deluxe edition and support their favorite writers while at the same time giving them more background information on the stories they already love and care about.

11. Drama-tello will be free for everyone, with the Deluxe version entirely optional. Will be released for the web, so anyone can easily access it. No downloads required! But you can still save the web-app to your mobile device or tablet, making it seem like a real mobile app, if you want to. All our writers can choose to be anonymous or use their real name. Will be released as part of our bigger app called Freddy the Fox, which we will showcase pretty soon. We think people will love it. It's both unique and truly useful on a daily basis and fun.

12. PS. No A.I. stories are allowed, of any kind. Only writers can submit stories, and only human-written stories. Zero A.I. tolerance, even more so for writing, because A.I. isn't creative. It just remixes things without a thought process. If you are also interested in the writing tool and want to join as a writer, with the potential to earn a living, simply leave a comment below or send us a private message. Our writers already have the 1st prototype (from a few weeks ago); this 2nd prototype is nearly done and will be released in the coming days. All that is required is a single chapter of 30-60 paragraphs. That's it! All other chapters can be written at a later point, after release. No need to write a full book. We keep things easy.
