Authors & pen names
Store multiple authors and identities. Optional ownership/contact fields stay inside the local project file and may be left entirely blank.

Version 2 foundation
Built like a portable fiction database, without a server database.
The .fictionproject format uses stable internal IDs and versioned structured data so visible titles, chapter numbers and ordering can change without breaking linked continuity records.
Works that grow
One project can represent a standalone novel, series or shared universe with multiple series, books, chapters and scenes.
Any kind of character
Humans, pets, AIs, robots, aliens and other entities can participate in events and relationships as first-class characters.
Write out of order
Create scenes before final placement. Separate narrative order from fictional chronology, with support for flashbacks and time travel markers.
Backup-first design
Because authors forget to save when the writing is going well.
FictionTools keeps a fast browser recovery copy after changes. Where your browser allows folder access, you can choose a backup root that contains separate AutoBackups and ManualBackups folders.
- Automatic backups default to every 10 changed minutes
- Automatic history has a configurable retention limit
- Manual backups are unlimited and never automatically deleted by FictionTools
- Default reminder after one changed hour without a manual backup
- Save success is shown only after the file write actually completes
Automatic backups are a safety net, not an archive
AutoBackups are meant to help after crashes, power loss or accidental changes. Manual backups are deliberate checkpoints. Browser recovery is a third local emergency layer, not a substitute for either.
Comfort for long writing sessions
Make the workspace look like yours.
Choose Day, Night or automatic-by-device-clock appearance when a project opens. Use curated palettes or pick custom background, panel, text, accent and sidebar colours separately for Day and Night—including a Retro 1980s preset.
Projects also store language preference, project/writing language, region, date display, time display, timezone choice, first day of week and measurement preferences.
Dates without guessing
Choose displays such as 13 August 2026, August 13, 2026, 2026-08-13 or numeric alternatives. Internally, date parts remain unambiguous and backup filenames use sortable year-month-day ordering.
Public-page translation
Public help pages include an optional Google Translate control. The private workspace does not send project contents to Google for translation.
Your project stays yours
No WRS project database
The server delivers the application. Your open project is processed by your browser using your device memory. WRS does not keep a server-side project copy or backup and cannot recover your fiction project for you.
- No user account or email registration required
- No manuscript upload
- No WRS project backup
- Optional author-identification fields stay in the local file
- Private workspace does not load AdSense or the public Google Translate control
