How to Configure Your Writing Style
Teach the AI to write like you. Learn how to set up a custom Plugin that captures your personal writing style — whether it's poetic, punchy, dark, or romantic.
When you're building stories with Magic Chapters, the most powerful way to make the AI sound like you is by creating a custom Plugin that captures your writing style. Whether you're into poetic prose, gritty realism, or breezy rom-com banter, a personalized Plugin helps shape every sentence.
This guide walks you through how to define your style, write clear instructions, and teach the AI to echo your voice.
What Is a Writing Style Plugin?
A Writing Style Plugin is a set of instructions that tells the AI how to sound like you. It's not about plot or worldbuilding — it's about the rhythm of your sentences, your favorite expressions, the tone you lean into, and the way your characters talk. When creating it, choose Globally under the Installation options to apply it to every story, or In a specific writing pack to keep it scoped to one project.
Why Use One?
Without style guidance, the AI defaults to neutral storytelling. It'll still be competent — but it won't sound like you. A style Plugin helps with:
- Matching the tone you prefer (romantic, sarcastic, lyrical, etc.)
- Controlling pacing and sentence structure
- Shaping the voice of the narrator or main characters
- Reinforcing your brand if you're a professional writer
How to Write a Style Plugin
Go to the Plugins section in your dashboard and click "Create new plugin." Set the Modification Type to Story Generator so your instructions shape the prose itself, then write them in plain English. You don't need to be technical — just describe how you write. Here are some examples to inspire you:
Romantic & Flowery
Write in a lush, romantic style. Use long, descriptive sentences and poetic imagery. Dialogue should feel tender and emotionally charged. Favor metaphors drawn from nature or music.
Casual & Witty
Use a breezy, modern tone. Keep sentences short and slightly sarcastic. Add self-aware humor and pop culture references. Characters should interrupt each other in dialogue to feel real and messy.
Minimalist & Tense
Keep prose stripped down and clean. Avoid unnecessary adjectives. Let tension build through silence and subtext rather than exposition. Dialogue should be brief and emotionally loaded.
Gothic & Lyrical
Write with an old-fashioned, gothic tone. Use archaic phrases, long compound sentences, and vivid atmosphere. Focus on mood and psychological nuance.
Tips for Best Results
- Be Specific: "Make it more emotional" is vague. "Use metaphors and internal monologue to show emotional struggle" is better.
- Avoid Copyrighted Phrases: Don't copy lines or styles from published authors — use your own voice as inspiration.
- Keep It Focused: Don't mix too many styles in one Plugin. If you want both witty banter and poetic prose, create separate Plugins and test them independently (a Premium subscription is needed to create more than one).
- Test and Refine: After generating a few chapters, tweak the instructions if something feels off. Your style Plugin can evolve with you.
Where to Apply Your Style Plugin
Each Plugin has one Modification Type, so create one Plugin per surface:
- A Story Generator Plugin – So every story you write sounds like you wrote it.
- A separate Continuation Ideas Plugin – To make follow-up suggestions match your voice.
Final Thought
Your writing voice is what makes your stories yours. With a custom style Plugin, the AI becomes your co-writer — one that finally gets you.
