Hi everyone,
I hope you're all doing well. I'm excited to share some big news with you this week.
Character Customization
Now you can use the premium Customize Characters feature to change the names of the characters of a story. Since this feature is quite new, the customizations you make are not persistent. This means your custom character names won't be remembered when you close and reopen a story. But this will hopefully change in the feature.
Chatfic Servers Open Source Project
Exciting news! I've published the Chatfic Servers open-source project on GitHub (see here). This means anyone can create their own chatfic servers and publish their own archive using the chatfic-format. This will help promote the chatfic-format, and allow the chatfic community to create their own tools, readers/players/editors around the publicly accessible chatfics.
Community Stories
The Chatfic Lab community has published fantastic stories on the unofficial chatfic server this week. Many lost stories are recovered, and new ones are created as well.
Chatfic Discovery Page
To help you find your way through the vast array of chatfic stories, I've created a dedicated discovery page at chatficlab.com/find. This page serves as a gateway to explore the stories hosted on the servers you've visited.
