The paper introduces Forking Garden, a branching game generation system that threads narrative archetype as a persistent semantic signal throughout the generation pipeline. Narrative progression is modeled with soft Rise/Fall states, guiding the creation of plot nodes, structural constraints, encounter composition, objectives, rewards, and difficulty adaptation. Experiments across ten storylines show that the system produces distinct archetypal trajectories, improves entity diversity, and that Rise/Fall distinctions remain meaningful during play, aiding both narrative understanding and creator interpretation.

arXiv:2607. 19038v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Translating novels into films poses a grand challenge for generative artificial intelligence, requiring conversion of abstract literary prose into long-form, multi-scene visual narratives.
The paper introduces a reinforcement learning method to improve the quality of feedback generated by large language models for creative writers. By training with group relative policy optimization and a multi‑component reward that emphasizes tailored, actionable, and critical‑issue‑focused feedback, the authors demonstrate that their approach outperforms existing LLMs and baselines on three story corpora. The study shows that actionable suggestions are the key factor driving constructive feedback.
arXiv:2606. 05724v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Long-form narrative QA requires reasoning over evolving story worlds rather than isolated passages: answers may depend on earlier goals, changing character states, social relations, causal triggers, temporal position, and later consequences.
arXiv:2607. 00918v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Although large language models (LLMs) have demonstrated impressive creative fiction generation, they struggle to maintain narrative consistency and coherent plot lines in long-form stories.
arXiv:2608. 10337v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We introduce narrative keyframing, an interaction technique for AI-assisted creative writing that lets writers specify different types of narrative constraints at selected moments in a story, then use AI to generate intervening prose.
