Press Ctrl + Enter to generate
Give the AI Story Generator a premise, a character or just a mood, and it writes a complete story with a beginning, a middle and an ending. Say who the story is about, where it happens and what goes wrong; the more concrete the prompt, the more the story feels like yours.
Pick a tone (Dramatic, Humorous, Dark & Mysterious, Lighthearted or Suspenseful) and a length from Short to Very Long. It is free and runs in the browser.
Story prompt ideas by genre
Copy one of these, change the names and details, and generate. Each line names a character, a place and a problem, which is what gives the AI something to build on.
| Genre | Try a prompt like | Good tone |
|---|---|---|
| Mystery | A lighthouse keeper finds a letter addressed to her, dated fifty years from now. | Suspenseful |
| Fantasy | An apprentice map-maker draws a road that was not there yesterday, and people start using it. | Default |
| Sci-fi | The last engineer on a generation ship realises the ship has been lying about the destination. | Dramatic |
| Horror | Every night at 3 a.m. the baby monitor picks up a voice reading bedtime stories. | Dark & Mysterious |
| Comedy | A wizard is forced to do jury duty and keeps accidentally enchanting the evidence. | Humorous |
| Romance | Two rival bakers on the same street are snowed in at the town hall bake-off. | Lighthearted |
| Bedtime | A small cloud is afraid of thunder and goes looking for a quieter sky. | Lighthearted |
How to get a longer, better story
- Choose Long or Very Long for a story with several scenes instead of one moment.
- Name the main character and give them one want and one fear.
- Add the ending you want ("a twist", "a happy ending", "an open ending").
- Want a series? Paste the last paragraph back in and ask for the next chapter with the same characters.
- Say the point of view: first person ("I") or third person.

AI Story Generator questions
Is the AI Story Generator free?
Yes. You can write as many stories as you like for free.
Can it write a long story?
Yes. Set Length to Long or Very Long for a multi-scene story. For a book-length project, write it chapter by chapter: paste the end of the last chapter and ask for the next one.
Can I choose the genre and tone?
Name the genre in your prompt (mystery, fantasy, horror, romance, sci-fi) and pick a tone: Dramatic, Humorous, Dark & Mysterious, Lighthearted or Suspenseful.
Can it add pictures to my story?
This tool writes the text. To illustrate a scene, copy a description from the story into the Perchance AI image generator.
Who owns the stories I generate?
You do. Use them for fun, for school, as a draft for your own writing or as a bedtime story.
How do I get a story that does not sound generic?
Give specific details: a name, an odd job, a real-feeling place and one problem. "A retired clown runs a night-shift laundromat" gives a far better story than "a funny story".
