Questions

Everything, asked softly

The basics

Is it free?

Yes, to begin. Every reader gets 25 messages a day with any character and the first two chapters of every story. The Coven, at $12.99 a month, removes the cap and opens every released chapter.

Who writes the characters?

One author writes the cast, the city and every story. The characters answer you in their own voices, inside the scene the chapter sets.

Do they really remember me?

Yes. Each character keeps what you tell them (up to 10 things, 40 in the Coven), and only that character knows it. You can read and delete every memory.

Nights and stories

What is a night?

A conversation with one character. Open a free night from their page and talk about anything; or begin a chapter from the shelf, and the character steers the scene through that chapter’s beats while you answer in your own words.

How does a chapter end?

Each chapter has an ending the character works toward. When you reach it, the last line appears with what comes next: the next chapter, or the Coven if that chapter is for members.

When do my messages refill?

Every day at midnight UTC (late afternoon on the US west coast). Free readers have 25. The Coven has no cap.

What email do I get?

A note when a chapter of a story you follow unseals. The characters do not write you.

How do I delete my account?

From your account page. Your nights, memories and progress are deleted with it.

The Coven

How do I cancel?

Any time, from your account: “Manage membership” opens the billing page. Your membership runs to the end of the period you paid for, then stops. Nothing renews after you cancel.
