Short Story Creation is a dedicated production flow designed for short stories that can be read in one sitting and have a complete ending. It does not participate in director version selection, nor does it require you to maintain long-term novel assets. From inspiration direction to complete draft, everything is completed within a single coherent interface.
Short stories are generated in internal segments, with continuous body text for reading and export. After completion, a full-text review and at most one necessary fix are performed. You can also develop a short story into a full-length novel.

When to Use

  • You want to quickly see a complete story, rather than advancing chapter by chapter.
  • You want to first verify whether a direction is worth expanding into a full book.
  • You need a finished draft that can be read, revised, and exported.
  • You want to familiarize yourself with the workbench creation flow before entering long-form writing.

When to Start

After configuring the model, open Create Short Story (创作短篇), enter an idea, and let AI recommend a direction and length. You can start generating after selecting a direction.

Flow Overview

1

Open Create Short Story

Enter the “Create Short Story” (创作短篇) entry from the novel list or home page.
2

Enter an idea

Write a sentence of inspiration or a general direction, and let the system help organize it.
3

Select direction and length

AI will recommend a direction and length (3,000 to 30,000 words). You can also request adjustments.
4

Confirm and start generating

Review the direction, then start production. Short stories are generated in internal segments, with continuous body text for reading and export.
5

Review and revise after completion

After the draft is complete, perform a full-text review and at most one necessary fix. You can edit directly or request modifications.
6

Export or extend

Export the short story body text, or select “Develop into Novel” (发展成长篇) to create a new work.

Length and Adjustments

The supported length range for short stories is 3,000 to 30,000 words. When adjusting length or creative direction, first let AI re-adapt the plan, then confirm production. This allows the body text structure and pacing to match the target length, rather than simply truncating or拼接拼接.

Revisions and Continuation

  • Direct editing: Modify the body text directly in the draft interface.
  • Request modifications: Let AI adjust according to your requirements, review the modification scope, then confirm.
  • Continue modifying: If rewriting is interrupted, you can “Continue Modifying” (继续修改) at any time.
  • Adjust structure: When structural adjustment is needed, first “View Adjustment Plan” (查看调整方案), review it, then “Confirm and Continue” (确认并继续).

Develop into Novel

A short story can be extended into a full-length work. Selecting “Develop into Novel” (发展成长篇) creates a new novel, preserving the original short story’s body text, direction, and settings. You can then use Auto Director or manual methods to continue advancing subsequent chapters.

Differences from Long-form

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. The short story flow is complete but relatively short, making it well suited for verifying model performance and writing style.
Yes. When requesting modifications, AI will provide a modification scope preview for your review before confirmation.
No. The original short story will be preserved; the novel is a newly created independent project.
Knowledge Base and Style Engine are primarily oriented toward long-form asset accumulation. The short story flow is relatively independent, but uses similar direction selection and style expression logic.
Full-text review is used to discover coherence issues, expression flaws, and structural gaps. This is similar in purpose to long-form chapter-by-chapter review, but performed only once.
