A user shared their experience of collaborating with an AI, Claude, to create a fiction story, which led to the development of comprehensive guides and documents for the project. This process involved refining the narrative and style over several months, culminating in a polished work ready for public sharing. This highlights the growing intersection of AI and creative writing, showcasing how technology can enhance storytelling.
As an experiment I started asking Claude to explain things to me with a fiction story and it ended up being really good, so I started seeing how far I could take it and what it would take to polish it enough to share publicly. Over the last couple months, I've been building world bibles, writing and visual style guides, and other documents for this project… think the fiction equivalent of all the markdown files we use for agentic development now. After that, this was about two weeks of additional polish work to cut out a lot of fluff and a lot of the LLM-isms. Happy to answer any questions about the process too if that would be interesting to anybody. Comments URL: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47431237 Points: 510 # Comments: 315
