Version 18.4 - Fixed iPhone Letterboxing STORY LINKS NOW GO TO THE STORY When we point you at a story - a notification, a message inside the app, a link from us - you land on that story, open and ready to read. Before, you landed on the Community Feed and had to go find it yourself, which for an older story meant scrolling past a hundred others. Now it comes to you, however far down it sits. STORY OF THE WEEK We choose stories out of the Community Feed and put them in front of everyone. This is the release that makes that work: when we tell you your story was picked, tapping the message opens it. Your story does not stop at the feed. Stories shared there become illustrated shorts on our YouTube channel, narrated episodes with music and sound design on our podcast, and some of the characters become heroes other storytellers can cast into their own stories. We have been making these since March. What is new is that you find out when one of them is yours. ALSO - A filter no longer hides the story you followed a link to. - Notification links open the screen they name instead of your library. Writing stories is still free and still unlimited.

Version 18.2 - Improved 3 Chapter Stories The old Create screen asked you to choose one of five ways to start before you'd made anything. Most people never got past it. So we rebuilt the whole thing around the only question that actually matters: who is this story about? CREATE IS A HUB, NOT A MENU Open Create and you see your heroes - used this week, journeys mid-chapter, drafts still open, and the ones who have never had a story yet. Tap one and you're straight into the story. Search across your entire cast by name or trait. THE STORY IS PROPOSED, NOT INTERROGATED No more five screens of questions. Fable proposes the setting, what's unusual about it, how your hero feels about it, the trouble, how they feel about that, and a twist - all on one card, before you've typed anything. CHANGE ANY LINE Don't like the twist? Change it. Change something early and everything after it is proposed again, and we tell you before it happens. Cancel and you get your original card back exactly as it was. ONE STORY OR THREE CHAPTERS - NOW JUST A SWITCH Hero's Journey used to be a separate place with its own dashboard. It's now a control on the story card: pick one story or three chapters and carry on. Journeys under way live on the Create screen with the rest of your work. A NEW HERO IN TWO QUESTIONS Two questions, or Surprise Me, and you get three finished heroes with portraits. Keep the one you want; keep an extra for 1 token if you can't choose. The full seven-question builder is still there for anyone who wants it. PICK UP WHERE YOU LEFT OFF Unfinished stories no longer disappear when you close the app. The Still Writing shelf lists your open drafts with the real deadline on each one, and re-opens on the exact question you stopped at. YOUR FIRST STORY IN ABOUT THREE MINUTES New storytellers now get one short setup screen, six ready-made heroes to choose from, two questions, and then a finished illustrated story. No locked characters anywhere in it. FIXED - Three Chapter Stories Work More Seamlessly - Clearer navigation of the token usage - Easier to understand cost model with clearer presentation and easier navigation Writing stories is still free and still unlimited.
