Spicy Interactive Stories and Four-Panel Comics: Start with Your Preferences

One personal story workspace, two ways to read. Start with your preferences, choose what happens next, or turn the idea into four editable comic panels.
Spicy Interactive Stories and Four-Panel Comics: Start with Your Preferences
Key takeawayChoose the reading format that fits your idea. Switching modes and editing dialogue or layout do not call a model; new text and actively requested images use your existing balance.
Your Spicy story can start with your own preferences. This workspace is for adults who want to create and read fictional stories for themselves. Choose interactive reading when you want to guide what happens next, or a four-panel comic when you want to read through pictures.
Both modes share the same preferences and character notes. You do not need to rebuild your cast to try the other format.

Start with one sentence

Open Playground → Text → Story writing. Choose Interactive story or Comic, then describe what you want to read. Character, setting, style, and things to leave out are optional. A short premise is enough to start; add detail when it helps your story.
For a neutral example, try two fictional adults who meet again at a lighthouse and discover an old letter. Your own preferences can be different. The example explains the workflow, not the quality or adult-content coverage of a model.

Interactive reading: choose the next action

Select Interactive story and click Start story. Read the first part, then select a suggested action or type your own. Continue when you are ready.
The current format has six parts and asks the model to bring the story to an ending in the last part. This is a structure, not a guarantee that every model response will resolve the plot perfectly. Illustrations are optional. Reading a part does not automatically generate its image.

Comics: four panels, generated separately

Select Comic. Use your preference, the current writing chapter, or the interactive story as the source. Create four-panel script makes an editable sequence with a separate image description and dialogue for each panel.
Choose when to generate each panel image. Four panels are four separate image tasks, not four random variations of one prompt. The default image model for a new selection is Cherry Zimage Spicy (cherry/zimage-spicy). You can select another available image model. A valid model choice you already saved is retained.
Dialogue is separate from the pictures. Edit words and line breaks, move a panel up, or switch between page and mobile-strip layouts without generating another image. Repeated character descriptions can provide context, but identical faces across panels are not guaranteed.

Know which actions use your balance

Switching between reading modes does not call a model or charge your wallet. Each new reading part or comic script is a text call. Its charge follows the selected model's current price and actual token usage. A new image is charged only when you actively choose to generate it.
Review the model and estimate shown in the workspace. Text and image costs are separate; this is not a fixed-price story package. Changing dialogue or layout does not make a paid model call. See current prices.

Save, then come back

The story uses your existing account save and wallet. Wait for the saved status before leaving, and you can reopen the workspace later. Temporary pictures need to be downloaded or saved to the asset library before their retention expires.
Download readable copy exports an offline HTML copy with the available pictures and text. It is not a PNG export of a complete comic page. Keep the copy if you want a separate version before starting a new story.
