Happy Christmas 2023

Season’s Greetings to all aspiring storytellers and creative souls! In the spirit of this Christmas season, we recognize that not everyone has access to The Paradoxical Short-Story AI due to GPT-4.0 account requirements. However, we haven’t forgotten our community members who are currently using GPT-3.5.

To spread some festive cheer and inspire your storytelling endeavors, we’re thrilled to present a special series of structured prompts and guidance. This gift is crafted to help you create engaging and imaginative stories using GPT-3.5, ensuring that the joy of storytelling is shared by all during this magical time of the year.
