From Dramatica to Narrova: Building https://narrova.ai, steering https://narrativefirst.com, and shepherding Narrative Context Protocol (NCP).
- Why we run evals like crazy through Dramatica constantly: “In a world where information is freely available across the world and expertise is democratized, your advantage hinges on how well your systems can execute inside your context.” openai.com/index/evals-...
- Funniest thing I’ve seen all year. And now I know “Marty Supreme” comes out Christmas morning. 😄 SCHWAPP! youtu.be/wakBARkxqls?...
- Future is just making your own stories for entertainment.
- I started to build what is now Subtxt/Dramatica and Narrova back in 2017–but I’ve never seen such a huge upsurge in interest before, and so many emails from writers who LOVE the new version. I think I finally got it. 😃

- The “Hotel Reverie” episode is literally exactly what we’ve been working on the past six months. Just without the Stack Overflow Errors! 🤣
- Been so busy, forgot to pass this along. We updated our project to be more in line with other initiatives across the AI landscape. UNM is now NCP: Narrative Context Protocol. Describes what we’re doing more succinctly. narrativefirst.com/blog/introdu...
- No idea how I got here, but I'm super proud to open up the intelligence behind Subtxt to anyone at the conflux of AI, storytelling, and fun. 🤩
- Here’s a fun white paper to read. Especially if you’re into authors, AI, and storytelling. 🤗 arxiv.org/pdf/2503.04844
- Sudowrite couldn’t even come up with a different name. 🤣🤣🤣
- Spoiler: It's all in your head! 😆
- Subtxt: not so great at avoiding spoilers! 😅
- Furthering the science of storytelling. 🤓
- It would be so cool if there was a way for an interactive fiction to refuse to progress until the players adapted and transformed their actions to sync with the underlying thematic construct. 😊
- I knew 2025 was going to be full of advancements, but didn’t expect this.
- loving how everyone's head is in the same place. 😊
- This was so cool to see play out, especially since Muse predicted the Storyform we all ended up landing on in the end.
- We're live! (recording avail. later)
- how the heck was I able to function without DeepResearch before?!
- This was really fun to see play out -- didn't even know this was a thing that was possible!
- DeepResearch + Subtxt Storyform is all you need when it comes to matching artist's intent with the underlying narrative structure of a film.
- Have to say, I'm totally aligned with this: "There is a great deal of talent right now without the resources to fully express itself, and if we change that, the resulting creative output of the world will lead to tremendous benefits for us all." blog.samaltman.com/three-observ...
- Always fun waking up in the morning to see what Muse came up with overnight (self-generated story-starters). 😄 Genuinely love seeing what it came up with while sleeping. subtxt.app/story-starters
- This is a wonderful read. Ethan Mollick set Deep Research out with the task of unraveling the evolution of TTRPGs--and completely unravels my concept of the internet, AGI, and the potential that lies before us. t.co/h9VZobnS59
- When you have to spend the weekend re-working all the copy surrounding o1 and "slow" deliberate thinking. The whole slow thing doesn't really apply to o3-mini. 🏎️💨
- Absolutely shell-shocked. What started out to be kind of a bummer start towards integrating o3-mini into Subtxt just took a massive turn as I discovered the vibe between Focus and Flow and beating out an entire 28 sequence screenplay—all in chat—in about an hour. Blog post on the way.
- o3-mini in the Assistants API?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! openai.com/index/openai...
- o3-mini would be a great way to start the weekend.
- Today’s an E.T. Soundtrack kind of day ☀️🛸🚴♀️
- A story is not a collection of conflicts. It's not a bundle of issues, problems, or dramatic situations. It's the exploration of one single inequity--spread across every character, theme, and structural element.
- Muse just starts proactively drawing images to help explain narrative structure to users, something I’ve never seen before—but am highly encouraged by. The image is even an accurate representation of the narrative model.
- Pretty much everyone assumes that Subtxt’s inability to build a story is a problem with Subtxt. 9.999 times out of 10, it’s a problem with the story.
