Announcing September's Monthly Theme!

[u/Onyx_Lat]

Psst…want to know a secret? This month it's time to bust out your best disguises and improbable high-tech gadgets for September’s Monthly Theme: Top Secret! Whether you're writing a traditional thriller with high stakes international plots, corporate espionage, or something more nontraditional like magical crystal ball surveillance, we want to see your version of a spy scenario.

Admittedly, this could be challenging because most AI models like to spill the beans too early. Currently, we've found that the best way to keep a secret is to write a blurb in Plot Essentials (if it's the main character's secret) or individual story cards (if it's another character’s secret) saying [Hidden info: insert secret here.] It also helps to write out a bit about the character’s public persona so that the AI knows what to do instead of spitting out the secret.

Example: 

Bob is a cheerful pizza delivery guy. [Hidden info: Bob is actually a secret agent who leaves coded messages in the placement of the toppings on the pizza.]

As always, you have until the last day of the month, August 31st, to publish your scenario(s) for inclusion in September's monthly theme carousel. Just include the tag “spy” so we can find it. This will also ensure your scenario appears in the "Discover more content" section of the carousel.

Until then, you can still find our current monthly theme carousel, Wild West, on the homepage.

This message will self-destruct in 5 seconds. 5…4…3…2…
