Thread here 🙂 @forest otter

First go:
The fog was dense that day, pierced only by the light of a full moon out at sea. Its glimmer was faint but I could still see the wet, stone structures of Devonshire harbour for miles in either direction. I trudged onward, found myself near the edge of the wharves, fog playing tag with its reflection in the sea. I was almost tempted to keep the journey, yet I heard a faint thud and the telltale sound of a voice in the dark nearby, sentinels standing guard at the wharfs.

#

Second go:
He had heard the rumors of unearthly creatures taking those who walked near the Devonshire wharfs, never to be seen again. He had experienced something similar 4 or 5 years ago, a moment of terror that had stayed with him ever since.
Really different results

Hmm either is not too bad imo

#

Now this might just be my bias, but I think the initial prompt is long

#

Maybe someone who has tried making stories like this knows better

#

But what is the temperature?

#

Its at 1.1 and top-p at 1.0

How would you change the prompt? Other wording? 🙂

Well again I have not tried to write a story like this. I would just remove the least important instructions. Because I think it won't obey much with so many.

#

But this is from my own experimentation, mostly with curie, where it ignores instructions a lot. Could just be that it ignores them for some other reason
