Storyform development
Develop structure through connected choices
Story Guide provides a workbook for ideas, characters, and scenes. Story Expert walks through compatible structural choices at three levels of detail; Storyform Builder gives a more direct view of the resulting blueprint.
The framework separates the Objective Story, Main Character, Influence Character, and Relationship Story. This makes external conflict, personal experience, and the central relationship distinct parts of the planning work.
Narrova analysis
Discuss and analyze the same story with Narrova
Narrova uses the shared story context for development conversations and draft analysis. The documented analysis focuses on structural and thematic misalignment, giving revision notes a stated framework.
Ongoing AI requires an AI-enabled subscription. Starter and Essentials offer introductory AI, after which their manual workspaces remain available; AI can be turned off throughout the platform.
Story development and plan access
-
Turn the Storyform into dramatic movement
-
Subtxt develops Storybeats, sequences, and storytelling in a visual workspace. It provides a place to work from the structural plan toward act, sequence, and scene-level development.
-
Separate the character's role from their perspective
-
Dramatica distinguishes Main Character from Protagonist and recognizes both Change and Steadfast resolutions. Those distinctions offer concrete alternatives when planning an arc or interpreting a revision note.
-
Consult Storyforms and retain your work
-
The platform offers reference Storyforms, with access depending on plan, and lets authors export their own story work. A free manual Story Guide project remains usable after the introductory AI allowance ends.
