AI Fanfic Generator
Start with a what-if: rivals stuck on a train, the ending canon got wrong, a world where they met ten years later. DreamPress writes the fic with you chapter by chapter, and the characters stay themselves.

A story that keeps going
Chapter forty remembers
The recent chapters go to the model in full and everything earlier goes as a summary, so chapter forty still knows what chapter one did. Characters, their history and your world notes ride along with every chapter.
See the story
Portraits for the cast, a cover for the shelf and pictures for the big scenes, in the style you pick. Anime is the default.
Hear it, then talk to it
Narration comes with every chapter at no extra cost. Then take a character out of the story and into a chat, where each character speaks in their own voice.
Ideas to start from
Take one as it is or change it to suit you. One sentence is all the fic needs.

How to write fanfic with DreamPress
- Start with the premise. Type it into the box at the top of this page: who, where, and what's different from canon. "Two rival duellists, five years after the war, forced to share a flat" is plenty.
- Set up the cast. The story wizard drafts the characters. Rename them, rewrite their descriptions and history, or bring in characters you've already made. Each card has a portrait you can redraw.
- Pick the point of view. Choose "I", "You" or "She/He/They". Choose "You" and the story is told in the second person, so you can write a reader-insert where the reader is the main character.
- Choose a plot and a length. Pick one of the suggested plot directions or write your own, then choose Short, Medium or Long for the chapter.
- Keep writing. For each chapter, pick one of three suggested next steps or type your own direction. Edit the text directly, or ask the AI to rewrite a passage.
DreamPress is an AI fanfic generator for stories that don't stop after one scene. Tell it whose story it is and what changes, and it drafts the cast, a cover, a plot and a first chapter. Then you write the fic together, one chapter at a time. Rewrite any line, choose what happens next, add pictures of your characters, and listen to each chapter read aloud. It runs in any browser, and it's free to start.
What an AI fanfic generator does
Fanfiction takes characters and worlds people already love and asks "what if?" What if they'd met ten years later? What if the villain had won? What if the two rivals were stuck on a long train journey together? An AI fanfic generator takes your "what if" and writes the story from it.
Most fanfic generators on the web write one block of text from a prompt and stop. That's fine for a quick drabble. A fic people want to keep reading needs chapters, and the characters have to stay themselves from chapter one to chapter thirty. DreamPress is built for that longer kind of story.
Write the tropes you actually read
Alternate universes
Coffee shop AU, college AU, modern AU, royalty AU, soulmate AU, a world where magic is outlawed. Put that in your first sentence, and the characters keep their personalities while the setting changes around them.
Fix-its and missing scenes
Rewrite the ending you didn't agree with, give a character the scene they never got, or fill the five years the canon skipped. Add your notes on what really happened to the world information. Those notes go with every chapter, so the story doesn't drift back to canon.
Slow burn and found family
Long fics need long memory. The recent chapters go to the model in full, and everything earlier goes as a summary, so chapter forty still knows what chapter one did. The yearning doesn't reset every chapter.
Reader-inserts
With the "You" point of view, you're inside the story. Make a character for yourself or stay unnamed, and the story will talk to you in the second person. If you'd rather talk to a character directly, take them out of the story and into a chat, where each character speaks in their own voice.
Keep the characters in character
Fans notice when a character is written wrong. DreamPress gives you three ways to keep them right:
- Character cards. Each character's personality, speech, history and relationships go with every chapter. Write "dry humour, never says sorry, calls her by her surname", and the next chapter knows it.
- World information. Your rules for the setting, such as what happened in canon, what's changed in your AU, and how the magic works, go with every chapter too.
- Locked directions. Pin up to ten short instructions to the story, like "keep it in his point of view" or "they don't kiss until chapter ten". They apply to every chapter until you remove them. They're free.
Pictures and narration
Every story gets a cover, and you can make portraits of the cast and pictures of the big scenes in the style you pick. Anime is the default. A picture costs 3 credits. Narration comes with every chapter at no extra cost, so you can listen to your fic like an audiobook.
What it costs
DreamPress is free to start. Verify your email and you get 15 credits every day, plus a one-off 50 for verifying, so 65 on day one. A chapter costs 1 to 3 credits on the standard model, depending on length. DreamPress Pro is $9.99 a month or $71.99 a year and includes unlimited writing on the standard model within fair use, plus 1,000 credits a month.
Writing fanfic responsibly
- Your drafts are private. A story stays in your library until you choose to publish it.
- Everyone in a romantic or intimate scene is 18 or over. That's true on every surface and in every context, so characters who are under 18 in canon get aged up to adults with an adult setting, or they stay out of those scenes.
- No real people in intimate scenes on anything you publish.
- Fan archives have their own rules about AI. If you plan to share an AI-assisted fic somewhere else, read that site's policy first. Some ask you to tag AI-assisted work, and some don't allow it at all.
Questions, answered
Is the AI fanfic generator free?
Yes, to start. Verifying your email gives you 15 credits a day, which is enough for several chapters, plus a one-off 50. Pro is $9.99 a month if you want unlimited writing on the standard model.
Does it know my fandom?
Tell it. Put the characters' personalities, history and relationships on their cards and your setting notes in the world information, and that goes with every chapter. The more of the canon you write down, the less the story has to guess, and that matters most for smaller fandoms.
Can I write x reader fanfic?
Yes. Choose the "You" point of view when you set up the story, and it's written in the second person with the reader as a main character. You can also chat with any character directly.
Can I continue a fic I've already started?
You can paste your existing chapters into a new story's editor and have DreamPress write the next one. Your story notes and character cards then carry it forward. Only paste writing that is yours.
Can I keep my fanfic private?
Yes. Stories are private until you publish them. Publishing is optional.
Is there an app?
DreamPress runs in any browser, so there's nothing to install. There's also a DreamPress app on the App Store for iPhone.
