Glimmer will be upgrading to a new and improved Storyteller AI! This new AI, which we're calling V3, is a much better writer, smarter, and more reliable than our current AI.

This new AI is now available to Authors and Betas to try on their own fics.

If you're an Author or Beta, you can try the new AI now:

• Head to the author portal https://glimmerfics.com/author to learn more and try out the new AI on your stories.
• Join our Discord Server, where authors can chat about the new AI and give feedback or ask questions: https://discord.gg/DTPFpvTt7p

Otherwise, sit tight ❤️ On May 20, we will release it for everyone! We can't wait for everyone to try it out!!!

Is there any way to replay a scene rather than a full episode?

The story I am reading had a letter delivered to my MC, something that will help a decision she has to make. I chose to set the letter aside while she got ready for bed, now knowing that the ai would actually do the full nighttime routine and she goes to sleep. Then the scene ends and the next episode begins with a time skip that is set in stone.

The problem with restarting the entire episode is the AI will include random events and I really like what it did with the plot that episode, so I'm worried that it will replace the plotline with something random that's not as good.

So idk if anyone here played Masquerade, but it was recently taken down or deleted. It was one of my favs to play through to unwind in the evenings, so I’m pretty bummed that it’s gone cause now my little ritual is interrupted lol. To remedy this, I finally bit the bullet and am going to be publishing my own phantom of the opera story. It’s based on several sources, such as the original novel, the ALW musical, the 2004 movie, and the Masquerade production in NYC. It’s MC/Erik and I’m really trying to go with a longer format with a lot of fleshed out opportunities for the player to make customized choices and have a ton of autonomy. My main goal is as much flexibility and world building on the player’s end as they desire. Essentially I want you to be able to craft anything at all you can imagine within the Opera Garnier and craft whatever relationship you want with the phantom. It isn’t going to be like the original Masquerade story that was removed, but obviously will have many things in common given the formatting of the book/musical.

TLDR; my favorite story to play was removed, I’m missing phantom content big time, I’m writing my own with tons of player autonomy if you’re interested.
