arXiv:2606. 17391v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Long-form serialized audio drama, with arcs that run for 200 to 800 episodes, is a major creative medium and a setting where frontier large language models (LLMs) fail.
The paper investigates how Large Language Models (LLMs) construct fictional worlds, specifically examining setting as a measurable aspect of storyworld creation. By generating 1,000 AI stories per model in English and German and comparing them to human-authored fiction from Project Gutenberg, the authors classify narrative space into five categories—action, perceived, visual, descriptive, and no space—using fine‑tuned BERT classifiers. Results show that human texts mainly use action space, grounding narratives in character-environment interaction, while LLMs consistently overproduce perceived space, focusing on atmosphere and affect, with this pattern varying by model and language.
arXiv:2603. 16410v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Creative plot generation presents a fundamental challenge for language models: transforming a concise premise into a coherent narrative that sustains global coherence, character development, pacing, tone consistency, and emotional progression.
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:2606. 13348v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Computational creativity in Interactive Fiction faces a fundamental tension: Large Language Models (LLM) may produce creative narratives but struggle with world coherence, while symbolic systems ensure consistency but lack creative flexibility.
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.
Short-drama generation has grown into a large, industrialized pipeline, and as it scales from isolated shots to the episode level, visual continuity has become a critical bottleneck. Current agent fra...
MUSE is a story‑generation engine that applies Robert McKee’s narrative theory to guide decisions about plot, character, and language throughout planning, drafting, and revision. It structures story knowledge into rule atoms, semantic consolidations, and mechanisms, and uses intermediate deliverables to preserve decisions across creative stages. Experiments show MUSE improves benchmark scores over zero‑shot generation and maintains low consistency errors across multiple models.
