One of the elements that I love about Scrivener that I wish Sudowrite could incorporate is the ability to have split screens open so I can write/edit things in one document, while simultaneously looking at a second document next to it so I can refer to it while writing my stuff in the first document. I hate having to scroll back and forth across Scrivener whenever I need to refer to something in a worldbuilding card/character card when doing brainstorming in an unrelated document, working on the outline, writing my chapter, etc. If I could have side by side split screens so I could avoid doing this, it would make things so much easier for me!

Something that is missing in Sudowrite is the option to insert a picture (for your own use or even for the AI to read it). Uploading the cover is one thing, but sometimes a picture gives context which is vital for the story. A map, a layout of a place, a character - all these things could be communicated to Sudowrite’s AI through an image created by the writer. I think it is a vital addition if you want to take Sudowrite to the next level.

Beats were one of the reasons I bought sudowrite. I miss beats so much, I could just write what I was feeling and see where sudowrite could take it, it gave more creativity and flexibility. But now, it’s forced structure. :( Bring back beats. Or at least let it be a choice. With scenes, anything more than 3 gets wonky. As in when I try to do more than 3 scenes, it gets cut off sometimes. The beats were better as you could do more, and add more detail without it being clumped together. Beats were one of the reasons I bought sudowrite. I miss beats so much. I could just write what I was feeling and see where sudowrite could take it, it gave more creativity and flexibility. But now, it’s forced structure and 9/10 times the scenes that are created are literally reworded/copied pastes of what i was forced to write. With beats, I could just draft an idea and it just tossed what it thought I wanted to go but it would open the doors for creative possibilities. Or give us the ability to toggle between different versions of features/sudowrite. I prefer some of the older features honestly because I am someone who has ADHD. I would rather have the power to toggle sudowrite to keep beats vs scenes the separated bible vs the newer one long section. (I liked my separation) Make chatting with Higher Quality be less expensive credit wise. it’s a credit bleeder. Make 3 months / 6months subscriptions. Allow us to choose two options within chapter generator; Scenes and/or Beats. I rather miss the features of Beats because it helped created a more natural flow with integrating through scenes and dialogue, and made editing much more easy. I would create sometimes 50-100 beats to create a chapter, with the new update with muse, it’s now like 2 scenes formulating 2000+ words of useless reiteration, cliches… it just feels like a mess. I have to either heavily edit or just not use it at all. Just a lot of credits being wash down the drain. Pleeeeeease bring beats back.

There should be a way to stop an action once you start it. Did you accidentally hit Write when you meant to hit the arrow next to it? Did you hit Describe when you wanted Expand? You should be able to stop the machine from generating.

When working up ideas in the Story Bible it would be very helpful and time saving to be able to identify (highlight) an item and change its name across the whole project so that the story bible does not finish up with conflicting names for a single item or character?

Subject: Series Saga Support - Character Versions, Per-Book Roles, and Master Bible I'm writing a 50-book series saga following 20 core characters over 10 years, organized into 10 interconnected sub-series with overlapping timelines. The current Story Bible system has critical limitations for this use case: Core Issues: Character roles are global, not per-book. I cannot designate Jett as MMC in his book and supporting character in Owen's book without manually toggling tags every time I switch projects. With 20 characters appearing across 50 books in varying prominence, this is unworkable. No character versioning for aging arcs. My characters age significantly (Rowen appears at 16 in the lead magnet, is 24 in his own series). Currently I must overwrite character descriptions to reflect current age/appearance/circumstances, which destroys my ability to reference younger versions for flashbacks or continuity checks. Yes I can put some stuff in the backstory but not as detailed as having Sudo able to remember certain things that would be beneficial to character development and arc. I maintain separate documents per age that I manually swap in, but this is error-prone and Sudowrite cannot see the full character history. No master saga bible. I maintain comprehensive worldbuilding (restaurants, schools, businesses, sports teams, character relationships) that spans all books. Currently I must recreate or re-link this for each new series, even though the content is shared. Book numbering chaos. Series order doesn't accommodate parallel timelines or lead magnets that predate the "official" series start but share continuity. Requested Features: Per-book character role assignment (MMC, FMC, supporting, etc.) that persists per project Character versioning/branching: ability to maintain multiple ages/states of the same character and tag which version appears in which book A "master bible" layer that feeds into all books in a series folder without duplication Flexible series ordering that accommodates parallel timelines and prequel lead magnets Context: I've been developing this world since 2013. Sudowrite has dramatically accelerated my output (from one book every 2-3 years to 6 per year), but the Story Bible friction is becoming the bottleneck. This isn't an edge case, it's a legitimate series saga structure that many long-form writers use.

It would be nice if you had a “go to end of prose” shortcut or button for when you open a project.

When I am in the middle of a chapter I sometimes have the reference and early chapter. When I click out and back it takes me to the start of the chapter, rather where I exited from. It’s then very frustrating to have to scroll through the chapters to find where I was. Can it navigate back automatically.

I'm writing an epistolary novel, which is a series of dated journal entries, etc. I will have well over 100 ‘chapters’, each one a dated journal entry. Managing the left, ‘Table of Contents’ (TOC) frame becomes challenging with this many titles. Each one of my chapter titles is prefixed with a date/time stamp in this format: yy.ddmm-HHMM plus some words. (E.g. ‘26.0504-0947 I Lose My Hat’, which refers to May 4, 2019 at 9:47am) This format lends itself to sorting very nicely. ‘Chapter #’ designations are useless. My story is based on journal entry dates. The TOC becomes my timeline management tool. By adding or changing A title datestamp, I can easily move journal entries to chronological positions. If I SudoWriter could (optionally) sort the TOC titles, any datestamped title name changes would be automatically moved to the proper, new position in the TOC. With hundreds of titles this would be immensely helpful. One of the most annoying things about SudoWriter is that “New Documents” are placed waaaaaaay down at the bottom of the TOC rather than just under the current highlighted title.

It would be nice if there was an option to change what the side panels showed. Like to be able to scroll through the story bible next to the chapter you are working in for reference instead of opening it in a new window or scrolling back and forth.

It’s hard to believe that a story processor that is as good as SudoWrite does not have even a rudimentary spell checker! WTF? I have the Language Tool spell/grammar checker (free version) extension for my browser (Firefox) which works just fine for _everything_except_ the SudoWrite main editor for some strange reason. (It’s even working here in this reply box.) Why not in the SW editor? That could be a quick fix !!

The initial import report is incredibly useful—especially when bringing in a more developed project (for example, a 60,000-word manuscript). It provides editor-level, big-picture feedback that’s both clear and actionable. The challenge is that once you begin revising within Sudowrite, there’s no way to regenerate that same level of analysis without re-importing the manuscript. A “refresh” option for the import report would make a big difference. Since the report highlights issues like POV slips, slow chapters, and repetitive phrasing, being able to update that feedback as the draft evolves would turn it into a much more powerful tool.

Sudowrite misses/leaves out characters when generating scenes and prose. Wasting credits. Maybe add a way for it to specify which characters you want in a chapter?

When hovering over a project folder on the dashboard (before opening it), I'd like to see a brief description of the story. This would be an editable field within the story so I can update it, initially a short summary when I create the project, and updated as I go to note where I am in the draft or what I'm currently working on. This would make it much easier to navigate between multiple projects without having to open each one to remember what it is, as I tend to create outlines of projects with my initial ideas and then go back to them at a later date. I'd also like the option to sort projects on the dashboard — by date created, date last modified, title, word count, etc.

HI! I think Suduwrite is a great tool for people who want to write, people who do write and for people who are learning to write. However, I think that the level of skill differs from person to person, so I think the level of creative freedom for the AI should also vary. I am a writer, I generally use Sudo because sometimes it's hard for me to articulate my ideas cohesively. A few times I’ve gotten frustrated with generations. For example, I basically tell every single conversation/dialogue, interaction, setting, emotions of the characters in the outline summary of a chapter. When I click generate scenes, I expect, especially since the scenes are how the story is being told, for the scenes to be more detailed if not as detailed and not generalized or generic. However, I have to edit heavily and put back specific details that I already shared in the chapter outline summary section. I understand that there are people who have Sudo create the story for them, but I am an author who brings my already concepted WIPS here and I was just hoping that there could be something to aid in that? I don’t know if I am explaining this correctly. But I’ll post anyway, just in case someone understands what I mean. Thank you XOXO

From https://eqbench.com/creative_writing_longform.html it’s good at producing long paragraphs at a high quality, other models are quite hesitant to produce long paragraphs, and even on this benchmark site the judge model punishes long paragraphs. Claude opus 4.7 is too expensive at the moment and recently you’ve only added closed source frontier models, which all have the same issues and make the tone variety feel bland.

One feature that would significantly improve the experience would be an audio function that allows users to listen to their text. Being able to hear a story read aloud would make it easier to catch inconsistencies, improve flow, and reduce the need to reread the same text multiple times.

Showed it my outline. Asked it if I needed to do anything special to have the prose writer pick out the scenes in my outline. It said, 'No, my outline looked great, and the prose writer would easily tell my scenes apart from the bold caps header.’ Prose writer ignores my outline, starts writing scenes entrirely after events in the chapter and costs me 5600 credits. When asked why this happened bot says scenes must be designated in the outline in a very specific way. ;(
