Open Mic at Hartwell

Hartwell in October: red brick, falling leaves, and a coffee-house open mic you never signed up for. Sloane Whitaker, who chairs the events committee, taps your name on her clipboard. "Transfer students go first, Zoe," she says. "It's tradition. I made it one about a minute ago."
What do you do?
Mythx writes every story live as you play, so yours will go its own way.
One story, four scenes
An example story in Solenne: one afternoon of typing, four illustrated scenes. Aria keeps her face from the first page to the last, and Ines remembers her by nightfall.
Example scenes, drawn by Mythx in Solenne's art style. Free play illustrates your first scenes; Premium illustrates up to 100 scenes a day.
How it works
Three steps from this page to the first illustrated scene of your story.
Choose the kind of story you want, from a fantasy tavern to a Japanese academy, and who you will be in it. Every story type is a world with its own people, places and art style.
Mythx opens your story with an illustrated first scene. Each new scene is written live, and the people in it stay themselves: the same faces, voices and memories of you.
Type what you do or say, in plain words, and the story answers. Or let the narrator carry the scene forward. There is no plot to write and no prompt to engineer.
Story types
Six of the 13 worlds, each a different kind of story. Generate starts the story as the character named on the card.

Story generator vs. story game
Most AI story makers write a whole story from one prompt. Mythx writes it one scene at a time, around what you do, and illustrates it.
| Typical AI story generator | Mythx | |
|---|---|---|
| What you type | A prompt, then you read the result | What you do, scene by scene |
| Pictures | Usually none, or a cover image | Your first scenes are illustrated; Premium up to 100 a day |
| Characters | Change between generations | Same faces and names in every scene |
| Memory | Starts over each time | People remember what you told them |
| Where it happens | A blank page | One of 13 worlds with its own cast |
