Is the Story Generator free?

Yes, completely free with no account required.

How long are the generated stories?

Generated stories are typically 300–700 words (short story format). Specify your desired length in the description for adjustments.

Can I specify characters and settings?

Yes — include character names, their traits, and specific settings in your description for a more personalised story.

Can the stories be used commercially?

Yes — the generated content is yours to use. However, always check for originality if publishing commercially, as AI content should be reviewed for unintended similarities.

Can it continue or extend an existing story?

Yes — summarise the story so far in the description field and ask it to "continue from where" and describe the next plot direction.
