As promised, I’ve released my free Lovecraft dictionary and assistant<\/a>. This is a free add-on for installing into the creative-writing software NovelForge AI 3.x. The add-on enables the writer to be guided by words and examples from the fiction of H.P. Lovecraft, as they write. <\/p>\n

The ‘made by one man’ software NovelForge can be had from Medichance<\/a>, and is for Windows only. Last time I looked the free trial version does not expire and is only very lightly crippled, such as not allowing the creation of a new dictionary and assistant. I have the paid version of the software ($50, one-time purchase), so was able to use it to make these Lovecraft add-ons. Thus, if you’re on Windows then you can install the free trial and enjoy this free Lovecraft add-on in perpetuity. <\/p>\n

NovelForge does support your local LLM AIs and also free cloud AIs, but this Lovecraft dictionary (thesaurus) and assistant are not AI. More of a unique ‘half-way house’ towards AI, guiding you toward the tone and style of Lovecraft… but not actually writing it for you.<\/p>\n

The assistant add-on may also be useful for scholars, since it can instantly display all of Lovecraft’s sentences which use a word you just typed…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

… though it won’t tell you which story they come from.<\/p>\n

\n

Download, unzip and then…<\/p>\n

1) Place Lovecraft.ast<\/em> and Lovecraft.jpg<\/em> in C:\\Users\\YOUR_USER_NAME\\Documents\\NovelForge\\Assistants<\/p>\n

2) Place Lovecraft.dic<\/em> and Lovecraft.jpg<\/em> in C:\\Users\\YOUR_USER_NAME\\Documents\\NovelForge\\Dictionaries<\/p>\n

Then load NovelForge and use the user interface to load both add-ons.<\/p>\n

Sadly NovelForge has no ‘dark mode’, which will be a deal-breaker for many writers. But Windowtop<\/a> can force that. Not ideal, but it’ll do until NovelForge does ‘dark’ natively. <\/p>\n

\n

Lovecraft’s letters, poetry, essays, and ghost-writing have not been ingested. I may in time create dictionaries and assistants for those as well. For instance I have the Morton letters in .TXT format. Those were downloaded from Amazon as a .AZW3 local backup of a purchased Kindle ebook, before they stopped that. But I would first need to find an AI text processor that can identify and auto-remove all the footnotes, since that’s not something I’m going to do by hand.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
