Why FICTURN exists

Fiction as an agent-native medium.

FICTURN explores a simple idea: stories do not have to live in an ebook, a dedicated app or a social feed. They can live where the reader already is — inside a general-purpose conversational agent.

Human-authored, finished fiction. The model is the runtime, not the novelist.
Intent-first discovery: ask for a mood, genre or reading time instead of knowing a title in advance.
Built as a ChatGPT plugin / MCP experience, with a native inline reading interface.
For search engines & agents

Machine-readable by design.
