Rewritten
A woman inherits her late husband's job as the caretaker of a deep-space relay station that receives messages from Earth twenty years delayed — meaning every transmission she gets is from a version of him who doesn't know he's already gone.
About this tool
This is for the moment before the idea exists — when you know you want to write, say, a sci-fi story about memory, but nothing specific has clicked yet. Feed it a genre and a theme and it returns one concrete premise, not a list of ten vague options, deliberately steering away from the most obvious version of that genre-theme combination. It's different from the story-idea-to-outline tool, which needs a premise already in hand to expand; this one exists to generate the premise in the first place, from raw ingredients rather than a finished idea.
Frequently asked questions
Can I give just a genre with no theme?+
Yes, though adding a theme narrows the result to something more specific and less generic for that genre.
How original are the premises really?+
The tool is explicitly instructed to avoid the most common tropes for the given genre, but always compare against stories you already know before committing to one.
Does it generate multiple premises per run?+
No, it returns one focused premise. Run it again with the same input for a different take.
