Hello everyone! We've created storyfork.com to let people explore alternate paths, roleplay as a character, or just throw some chaos into their favorite books.

• What if Juliet had awoken a few seconds earlier in Romeo and Juliet?
• What if the Trojans had just burned the horse in The Aeneid?
• What if Elizabeth had refused to read the letter in Pride and Prejudice?
• What if a confused Dracula dropped into the tea party in Alice in Wonderland?

We've ingested dozens of classic books and constructed character bios, location descriptions, and story beats to hopefully create a fairly authentic alternate fiction. You can also upload your own ebook files and we'll process and create stories based on that as well. While our initial target was readers interested in interactive fiction, it might also be an interesting way to explore ideas for your own written stories.

We're currently running a small beta with free credits (you'll just need to log in with a google account) and we'd love to hear feedback: does it make sense what to do, was the writing quality good, were the characters believable, etc.

Thanks so much, we look forward to hearing your thoughts!

[Complete] [34k] Science Fiction / Dark Fantasy — The Blood of Two Worlds: The Fall of Atlantis — Looking for Beta Readers

The Blood of Two Worlds: The Fall of Atlantis is Book One of a planned trilogy, blending science fiction, dark fantasy, mythology, war, romance, and the clash between two very different civilisations.

Word count: ~34,000

Genre: Science Fiction / Dark Fantasy / Fantasy / Romance

Status: Complete

Series: Book One of a trilogy

The premise:

For centuries, the people of Atlantis have lived in peace, believing their civilisation has mastered the balance between nature, knowledge and progress.

Then a fleet arrives from Mars.

The Martians come from a dying world and believe Earth may be their only chance for survival. Atlantis sees them as potential visitors. Mars sees Earth as a potential home.

As the two civilisations collide, alliances form, secrets emerge, and the line between enemy and ally begins to disappear.

But something much older than either civilisation is beginning to awaken.

I'm looking for beta readers who enjoy science fiction, dark fantasy, mythology, epic worldbuilding and character-driven stories.

I'd particularly appreciate feedback on:

- Pacing

- Characters and relationships

- Worldbuilding

- Plot and overall story

- Dialogue

- Anything that feels confusing, unnecessary or underdeveloped

- Overall enjoyment and whether you'd want to continue into Book Two

The manuscript is approximately 34k words.

If you're interested, please comment or message me and I'll send you the details.

Thanks! ❤️

[In Progress] [On Hiatus while I edit] [70k] Western/Historical/Romance/Alternative Universe--Cowboy From Gold Mountain

— Looking for Beta Readers

The Cowboy From Gold Mountain is a Fallout: New Vegas Historical Western AU. I reimagined a minor character Colonel James Hsu into a Chinese immigrant who fled to America with his father and older brother after their mother passed away from child birth and the Taiping Rebellion. His father, brother, and railcamp get massacred by a white supremacist organization called the Legion. He's the only survivor.

He meets Lenore Calhoun the daughter of a Surgeon who served the Union. Her family gets massacred by Benny and she's left for dead. They meet in Durango and decide to work together.

I use AI to edit and for historical research. I've also done my own research through Ghosts of Gold Mountain, Angel Island Poetry, various library sources. I write the vast majority myself.

Word count: 70k

Genre: Western/Historical/Romance/Alternative Universe

Rating: M

The premise:

The year is 1887. A Chinese cowboy and a woman disguised as a man walk into a Durango saloon. This isn't a joke, and it isn't a tall tale.

Jiang Hsu was a railroad laborer before the Legion crucified his family; now he's a bounty hunter collecting a debt. Lenore Calhoun is a courier with a bullet scar, a borrowed name, and a vendetta, the Legion murdered her abolitionist family, and she means to return the favor.

The deal is simple: ride together, hunt together, survive. The road runs from the Colorado mountains to Salt Lake City, from the Yuma deserts to California's golden fields, through Tong wars and besieged towns and the brutal past that binds them.

No canon knowledge required

I'd appreciate feedback on:

- Pacing

- Characters and relationships

- Worldbuilding

- Plot and overall story

Logistics

Preferred return date or turnaround: flexible I've already posted the first 19 chapters so I am in no hurry. I've decided to put my fic on hiatus. I'm okay for the turnaround to be every week or bi-weekly.

Feedback format: inline comments on google docs.

Arrangement: Unpaid or paid, if permitted. I'm willing to read your story if posted on AO3 and leave encouraging comments on chapters with Action/Adventures, Romance, Westerns, and historical fictional, if that's alright.

NDA or confidentiality requirement: None

If interested leave a comment, please. No messaging because of scammers.

He set down his carving and knife. His fingers tapped a rhythm, then stilled. His lips turned down, his brows softened. "Are you well?"

She wouldn't tell him about the bath; that was her demon to bear alone. Nor would she wouldn't expose her soul to a stranger.

She turned her cheek avoiding his gaze. "What are you carving?"

"A bear."

"A bear?" She stepped closer, curiosity piqued. "Why a bear?"

"I like bears." He kept carving.

He stopped, sheathed his knife with a soft click, and stood. His broad shoulders filled the window. His boots echoed as he closed the distance between them.

The scent of sandalwood enveloped her, sweet and earthy. The tension in her back released. He held out the carving.

She looked at the crude, charming bear. Her calloused thumb brushed over its body, tracing the rough grooves of his knife strokes.

Her vision blurred. A piece of wood shouldn't hold such weight.

"Thank ya. You didn't have to." His hands slid into his pockets. "I wanted to."

Hello! I'm looking for readers to give genuine feedback on my completed literary fantasy novel, MONERE: To Remind the Heart.

It's 50,678 words and 20 chapters.

At this point, what I really want is feedback from actual readers about their experience with the story—what they enjoyed, what confused them, what hit emotionally, and whether they wanted to keep reading.

I made a simple reader site for the manuscript. You can read it chapter by chapter and leave feedback directly at the bottom of each chapter. There's no payment or commitment to finish the entire book.

Here is the link if you would like to give it a go! mkbooks.replit.app

Any and all feedback is greatly appreciated. I have probably 15,000 words of notes, research, events and timeline for this. It's about 3 weeks of 3-5 hour late nights.

I finally put it all into AI and said "clean this up and make it coherent." After 5 rewrites, multiple self editing, and a whole lot of arguments wit AI, I think we finally got close to my vision. This is not the final self edit. I would like some constructive criticism before I do the final.

I did give AI the prompt, "This should sound like a historical document or something out of a text book." That part im mostly happy with.

77 Year Reckoning

Please help. I'm looking for beta readers but am having a hard time posting. Yes, I'm new to Reddit. Please be kind.

Hey everyone!

I have a vacation coming up and I want to make the most of my free time. Since I love reading and I finish books fast I thought it would be great to help out the writing community by being a beta reader for writers.

I think it is a way for me to give back to the writing community and try something new.

So if any writers here need a beta reader who will not charge them I am available. I would really like to help for no reason (I guess I have to much time).

Hi

I'm a German writer. I wrote a grimdark fantasy novel in German and now have a full English version, The Price of Rain, in US English.
Upfront, because I'd rather say it than have someone find out: the English version was produced with AI assistance and then checked line by line against the German original — every paragraph, every line of dialogue, every number. So I'm fairly confident nothing is missing or mistranslated. What I genuinely cannot judge is whether it sounds like English. I know there's a difference between correct and natural, and I'm on the wrong side of it.
That's the entire ask: does this read like a book written in English, or like a book translated into English?
I'm not asking anyone to read the whole thing. I'd send the prologue and first two chapters (~11k words), and honestly I'd be happy with just the prologue. What would help most:
sentences that are technically fine but no American would actually write
anything stiff, oddly formal, or vaguely foreign-sounding
Britishisms that slipped through
any spot where you had to stop and re-read
So it doesn't waste your time — it's slow, cold, character-driven fantasy. A drought, a stone that grants what you ask of it, and the fact that somebody far away always pays for it. Ledgers, rationing, people quietly vanishing from other people's memories.

Have you ever been scrolling on instagram or Facebook, and get caught up in reading one of those stories that grabs your attention then you have to pay for the rest of it. I’m sick of them, so I decided I want to write a story based off one of those. It’s a second chance at life/ Romantic Drama. I’m looking for a beta reader to help steer the story in the right direction. I was using chat gpt to bounce my idea but I don’t want to risk my story sound robotic and lifeless. Please help! I love constructive criticism and I’m very open minded.

i will be honset im using ai too help write the book but ive built and wrote everything by hand, ive made charactor bibles, world bible, history of the world, prop bibles, sub charactor bibles, city bibles, place loaction bibles, so even the main pub is a charactor and written a draft for volume 1 and started volume 2. i was wondering if anyone would be intrested a few friends are but i thought i woukd reach out on reddit about it, its a slow burning romance on anthromtic animals (i dont like writing about humans so imagine a beast stars like world) its about 2 women who find each other and slowly fall in love through healing and accepting each over, its designed too be a rewarding re read so once you have all 8 volumes read you go back and it makes the book more meaning, i need too finish the final copy but was intrested if anyone would like too have a copy sent once done

I decided to actually put this idea I had in mind into paper for once but I lack the funding to use solid programs with helpful features and only used what I could afford (free) and...I feel like GPT is widdling the edge of my previous writing away:
