Keep a story going with your own characters

Most stories end when you close the book. This one keeps going, and remembers everything along the way.

With Aether Observer you build a story around your own characters. You decide what happens next, and each new chapter carries forward every choice, place and person that came before.

How it works

1. Start a story. Pick a kind (mystery, fantasy, sci-fi, real-life drama and more) and say what it's about.
2. Add what happens next, whenever you like: a decision, a new arrival, a storm on the way. Stuck? Tap Give me ideas.
3. Write the next chapter. It tells what happened, and the consequences carry into the chapters after it.

A story that remembers

• Every character and place is kept in Characters & Places, and fills in as the story goes.
• Choose how much the story adds on its own, from quiet and all yours to plenty of twists you didn't see coming.
• Search back through everything that's happened.

Write it with a friend

Share a story with a friend and you can both add what happens next. Or list it on Discover for others to read.

Ideas to start with

• A lighthouse keeper finds a letter dated fifty years from now
• Two rival bakers on the same small-town street
• A starship crew wakes up a century late
• A detective who can only solve crimes in her dreams
