Dialogue, Voice & Genre Nuance
The system keeps fixing dialogue or dialect I want to keep. Can I prevent that?
There's no explicit toggle to "protect dialogue" yet. Workarounds:
- Use feedback types that avoid voice-heavy changes
- Reject suggestions that alter intentional speech patterns
- Tell Chat: "Preserve this character's dialect; only check clarity."
We're exploring category-level controls such as:
- Don't alter dialogue
- Respect stylistic voice
- Minimize rewrites
We're also exploring ways to let authors define rules for the system to follow.
Does Writers Room understand my genre conventions?
Yes—Writers Room automatically detects your genre during import using BISAC (Book Industry Standards and Communications) classification, the same system used by publishers and bookstores. This means:
- Expected conventions aren't flagged as problems - Genre-appropriate techniques (like instalove in romance or infodumps in fantasy worldbuilding) are recognized
- Feedback is calibrated - Pacing expectations, tone guidelines, and credibility notes are genre-specific
- Sensitivity guidance applies - Genre-appropriate sensitivity considerations are included
We're also exploring advanced features like:
- Relationship templates for LitRPG, sci-fi species, romance arcs
- Genre-aware dialogue and pacing analysis
- Cross-book consistency tools
