Creative writing is one of the most prominent use cases of large language models \(LLMs\)\([15](https://arxiv.org/html/2608.13947#bib.bib2);[1](https://arxiv.org/html/2608.13947#bib.bib3)\), accounting for a substantial portion of real\-world interactions\([2](https://arxiv.org/html/2608.13947#bib.bib12);[4](https://arxiv.org/html/2608.13947#bib.bib13)\)\. Existing public resources, nonetheless, remain heavily story\-centric, largely treating creative writing as narrative generation\([6](https://arxiv.org/html/2608.13947#bib.bib16);[13](https://arxiv.org/html/2608.13947#bib.bib14)\)\. Yet real\-world creative writing extends far beyond stories\([20](https://arxiv.org/html/2608.13947#bib.bib7)\): users ask models to write rap verses, game design documents, and other creative formats\. These genres differ not only in topic or style, but also in their structural and functional conventions—rap demands rhyme scheme and flow, movie scripts rely on narrative arc and dialogue, game design documents require mechanics and player interaction\. A model trained primarily on story\-centric data may thus learn rich narrative content while failing to follow the genre\-specific structural and functional constraints expected in practical creative writing tasks\.

However, mere scaling of story\-centric data fails to address these structural gaps, as it does not systematically encode the formal constraints of non\-story genres\. Existing synthetic instruction\-generation methods offer a natural starting point by bootstrapping seed tasks, evolving instructions, or rewriting problems at scale\([18](https://arxiv.org/html/2608.13947#bib.bib22);[21](https://arxiv.org/html/2608.13947#bib.bib23)\)\. Yet, many successful applications have targeted general instruction following or verifiable domains such as code and mathematics, where difficulty, correctness, or solution validity can be approximated through seed examples, executable constraints, final answers, or problem transformations\([11](https://arxiv.org/html/2608.13947#bib.bib24);[19](https://arxiv.org/html/2608.13947#bib.bib25);[22](https://arxiv.org/html/2608.13947#bib.bib26);[16](https://arxiv.org/html/2608.13947#bib.bib27)\)\. Creative writing lacks such compact validity signals\. Directly applying generic synthesis pipelines risks producing prompts that are topically diverse but formally under\-specified, because genre fidelity depends on human\-recognizable conventions such as lyric flow, screenplay formatting, and game mechanics\. These limitations suggest that creative writing data generation requires human guidance not merely for quality filtering, but for defining the genre\-form constraints that generation should follow\.

To bridge this gap and effectively scale creative writing capabilities, we identify three key requirements\. First,*systematic genre coverage*is necessary to represent the range of creative formats users actually request\. Second,*genre\-form fidelity*is needed because each genre imposes distinct structural, stylistic, functional, and formatting constraints\. Third,*specification diversity*is necessary because real writing instructions naturally range from open\-ended requests to highly constrained prompts\. These requirements call for a controlled way to expand story\-centric creative prompts into genre\-faithful instruction data\.

To address this challenge, we proposeattribute\-guided genre expansion, a controlled generation framework for scaling creative writing data beyond story\-centric sources\. Our framework is related to synthetic instruction generation, but differs in its axis of control: rather than evolving prompts primarily by task complexity or problem variation, we separate thematic variation from genre\-form control\. Human\-authored story prompts provide diverse creative seeds, while manually curated attributes specify the conventions of each target genre\. For each genre, we draw seeds from a curatedr/WritingPromptspool and sample a subset of its attributes, then combine them with the target genre to generate genre\-faithful writing queries\. The queries are paired with responses from strong LLMs and quality\-filtered to yield reliable query–response data\. Applying this framework, we construct theMulti\-Genre Collection, a 50K\-instance corpus spanning 13 creative writing genres\.

Our experiments show that the resulting data improves creative writing capability across multiple dimensions\. Models fine\-tuned on theMulti\-Genre Collectionconsistently outperform not only their base models and the writing\-specialized LongWriter\-glm4\-9B\([3](https://arxiv.org/html/2608.13947#bib.bib5)\)baseline, but also competitor models trained on existing writing corpora\([17](https://arxiv.org/html/2608.13947#bib.bib10)\)across all popular benchmarks\. We further find that increasing genre coverage improves output novelty: as the number of training genres increases from story\-only to all 13 genres, novelty metrics\([25](https://arxiv.org/html/2608.13947#bib.bib9)\)improve consistently\. Finally, evaluations with independent LLM judges and humans confirm these gains reflect genuine quality improvements rather than evaluator bias\.

You are a\{genre\}query generator\. \{task\_instruction\} \(Guideline: Create distinct scenarios\.\) When crafting each query, incorporate these specific dimensions: \{genre\_attribution\}\(0∼\\simlen\(genre\_attribute\) genre\-specific attributes sampled\) Draw thematic inspiration from the examples below, but reimagine them with new perspectives suitable for\{genre\}\.\{few\_shot\} \(Sampled from existing Story Generation Query Pool for thematic variety\)

Figure 3\.Abstract Structured Meta\-Prompt Template\.A meta\-prompt template that combines a target genre, task instructions, sampled genre attributes, and few\-shot story examples\.We formulate the construction of the Multi\-Genre Collection as an attribute\-guided genre expansion process for scaling creative writing beyond story\-centric data\. Rather than directly collecting prompts for each creative genre, our framework starts from a story\-centric human\-authored seed pool and generates genre\-faithful creative writing query–response pairs through the three\-stage process illustrated in Figure[2](https://arxiv.org/html/2608.13947#acmlabel2)\. Instantiating this process yields an English corpus spanning 13 creative genres\.

Formally, let\(qg,y\)\(q^\{g\},y\)denote a query–response pair for genregg\(e\.g\.,qrap=q^\{\\texttt\{rap\}\}=“Write a rap verse about urban loneliness with an AABB rhyme scheme”\)\. Prior writing datasets are heavily concentrated ong=storyg=\\texttt\{story\}; our goal is to expand coverage beyond story writing by generating new queries for each target genre through attribute\-guided genre expansion\.

LetX=\{\(qistory,yi\)\}i=1nX=\\\{\(q\_\{i\}^\{\\texttt\{story\}\},y\_\{i\}\)\\\}\_\{i=1\}^\{n\}denote few\-shot examples sampled from the seed dataset, and letA⊆AgA\\subseteq A\_\{g\}denote a subset of genre\-specific attributes for genregg\. We construct a meta\-prompt via a template𝒯\\mathcal\{T\}\(Figure[3](https://arxiv.org/html/2608.13947#acmlabel3)\) and generate queries through an LLM:

\(1\)Q=LLM⁡\(𝒯⁡\(g,X,A\)\)\.Q=\\mathrm\{LLM\}\\bigl\(\\mathcal\{T\}\(g,X,A\)\\bigr\)\.The meta\-prompt𝒯⁡\(g,X,A\)\\mathcal\{T\}\(g,X,A\)unifies thematic seeds from human\-authored data with genre\-specific structural constraints\. In this way, the pipeline separates two sources of variation: the seed examples provide topical and stylistic breadth, while the sampled genre attributes control the structural conventions of the target genre\.

#### Source Dataset Selection\.

We choose Reddit’s community forumr/WritingPromptsas our seed dataset for\(qstory,y\)\(q^\{\\texttt\{story\}\},y\)pairs, as it provides human\-authored prompts with high topical diversity and naturally varying specificity\. To ensure quality, we apply two filters using GPT\-5\-mini\([14](https://arxiv.org/html/2608.13947#bib.bib21)\): \(1\)safety filtering, which removes 686 instances containing harmful or inappropriate content, and \(2\)irrelevant content removal, which cleans 861 instances of off\-topic fragments \(e\.g\., meta\-commentary or subreddit boilerplate\)\. This curated seed pool serves as the source of thematic diversity for subsequent genre transfer\.

#### Step 1: Thematic Seed Sampling

For each template instantiation, we randomly samplen=5n\{=\}5query–response pairs from the curated seed dataset to serve as thematic seeds\. These seeds transfer the topical and stylistic breadth of human\-authored story prompts to non\-story creative formats, supplying the thematic variety that drives the generated queries\.

#### Step 2: Genre Attribute Sampling\.

Since different genres are governed by distinct structural conventions, we definegenre attributesas the key dimensions along which queries within a genre can meaningfully vary—for example,*rhyme scheme*and*flow*for rap, or*narrative arc*and*character development*for TV series\. To construct these attributes, we collect authoritative genre definitions from encyclopedic references \(e\.g\., Wikipedia\) and creative writing manuals, then prompt GPT\-5\([14](https://arxiv.org/html/2608.13947#bib.bib21)\)to extract structured attribute lists from each definition\. The resulting attributes are all manually reviewed and refined to verify that each reflects a genuine structural convention of the genre, to merge overlapping attributes, to remove overly generic ones, and to add any salient dimensions missed by the automatic extraction—ensuring coverage and genre fidelity and yielding a curated setAgA\_\{g\}of 5–15 attributes per genregg\. To reflect natural variation in instruction specificity, we samplek∼Uniform⁡\(0,\|Ag\|\)k\\sim\\mathrm\{Uniform\}\(0,\|A\_\{g\}\|\)and then randomly select a subsetA⊂AgA\\subset A\_\{g\}with\|A\|=k\|A\|=k\. Whenk=0k=0, the query remains open\-ended; askkincreases, the query becomes progressively more constrained\. Thus, attribute sampling acts as the pipeline’s control mechanism for varying instruction specificity while preserving genre\-specific structure\.

#### Step 3: Attribute\-Guided Pair Synthesis\.

Given the few\-shot examplesXXand sampled attributesAA, we prompt GPT\-5\-mini\([14](https://arxiv.org/html/2608.13947#bib.bib21)\)as the query generatorLLM⁡\(⋅\)\\mathrm\{LLM\}\(\\cdot\)in Eq\. \([1](https://arxiv.org/html/2608.13947#S2.E1)\) to produce five queries per template instantiation\. To further promote diversity and mitigate model collapse, we employ verbalized sampling\([23](https://arxiv.org/html/2608.13947#bib.bib1)\)—explicitly instructing the model to produce outputs that vary in topic, tone, and structure\. We then generate responses using Qwen3\-235B\-A22B\-Thinking\([15](https://arxiv.org/html/2608.13947#bib.bib2)\)\. To filter low\-quality responses, we employ an independent LLM\-as\-a\-judge\([26](https://arxiv.org/html/2608.13947#bib.bib20)\)using Qwen3\-30B\-A3B\-Instruct\([15](https://arxiv.org/html/2608.13947#bib.bib2)\)to evaluate response quality and exclude pairs whose scores fall below two standard deviations from the mean\.

#### Synthesis Outcomes and Diversity Analysis\.

Instantiating the above pipeline yields the Multi\-Genre Collection, a 50K\-instance creative writing corpus with balanced coverage across the target genres \(Figure[4](https://arxiv.org/html/2608.13947#acmlabel4)\)\. The ’Etc\.’ category captures long\-tail formats \(e\.g\., diary entries, comic scripts, interactive fiction\) outside our 13 primary genres\. To verify semantic distinctiveness, we embed all queries using Qwen3\-Embedding\-0\.6B\([24](https://arxiv.org/html/2608.13947#bib.bib11)\)and project them into 2D via t\-SNE \(Figure[5](https://arxiv.org/html/2608.13947#acmlabel5)\), revealing clear genre\-aligned clusters with minimal overlap\. This indicates that the attribute\-guided synthesis pipeline produces genre\-distinct instruction distributions rather than merely paraphrasing story\-centric prompts\.

## 3\.Experiments

### 3\.1\.Experimental Setup

#### Models\.

We evaluate three base models: Llama\-3\.1\-8B\-Instruct \(Llama\)\([8](https://arxiv.org/html/2608.13947#bib.bib19)\), EXAONE\-3\.5\-7\.8B\-Instruct \(EXAONE\)\([1](https://arxiv.org/html/2608.13947#bib.bib3)\), and Qwen3\-8B \(Qwen\)\([15](https://arxiv.org/html/2608.13947#bib.bib2)\)\. All models are fine\-tuned via Supervised Fine\-Tuning \(SFT\) using LlamaFactory\([27](https://arxiv.org/html/2608.13947#bib.bib8)\)with LoRA\([9](https://arxiv.org/html/2608.13947#bib.bib4)\)adapters of rank 128 applied to all transformer layers, preserving pre\-trained knowledge while ensuring computational efficiency\. We train for 2 epochs with a cutoff length of 4096 tokens, learning rate1\.0×10−51\.0\\times 10^\{\-5\}, warmup ratio 0\.1, and global batch size 128\. As a writing\-specialized baseline, we additionally include LongWriter\-glm4\-9B\([3](https://arxiv.org/html/2608.13947#bib.bib5)\)\.

#### Benchmarks\.

We evaluate models across three benchmarks: \(1\)Arena Hard \(Creative Writing\)\([10](https://arxiv.org/html/2608.13947#bib.bib6)\)v2\.0, filtered to English samples, judged by GPT\-4\.1 against reference answers following the original evaluation protocol; \(2\)WritingBench\([20](https://arxiv.org/html/2608.13947#bib.bib7)\), filtered to English samples in the creative writing domains \(Advertising & MarketingandLiterature & Arts\), judged by GPT\-5\-mini following the original evaluation protocol; and \(3\) the held\-out test set from ourMulti\-Genre Collection\(Multi\-Genre\), spanning all 13 genres with 50 instances per genre \(650 total\), where Qwen3\-235B\-A22B\-Thinking outputs serve as references and GPT\-4\.1 rates each model output on a 1–10 scale for quality, creativity, and genre adherence\.

### 3\.2\.Experimental Results

Table 1\.Performance across out\-of\-distribution generalization benchmarks, and in\-distribution genre coverage\.Table 2\.Comparison with existing writing data using 2K sampled subsets, with Qwen3\-8B fine\-tuned on each corpus\.#### Overall Performance\.

Table[1](https://arxiv.org/html/2608.13947#S3.T1)shows that all three base models improve substantially after SFT on our Multi\-Genre Collection, with consistent gains on out\-of\-distribution benchmarks \(largest for Qwen3\-8B\) and balanced in\-distribution coverage across all 13 genres\. Notably, all fine\-tuned models outperform the writing\-specialized LongWriter\-glm4\-9B\([3](https://arxiv.org/html/2608.13947#bib.bib5)\)baseline, confirming that diverse, genre\-specific data is more effective than narrow writing specialization\.

#### Comparison with Existing Writing Datasets\.

Since the Multi\-Genre Collection is considerably larger, we randomly sample 2K examples from each dataset for SFT to ensure a fair comparison\. As shown in Table[2](https://arxiv.org/html/2608.13947#S3.T2), Qwen3\-8B fine\-tuned on Multi\-Genre Collection substantially outperforms models trained on DeepWriting\-20k\([17](https://arxiv.org/html/2608.13947#bib.bib10)\)and LongWriter\-6k\([3](https://arxiv.org/html/2608.13947#bib.bib5)\)across all benchmarks, with particularly large gains on Arena Hard, demonstrating that our attribute\-guided pipeline produces higher\-quality, more transferable training data\.

Bold dark\-red text highlights the SFT output's title, named setting, named character and spells, and section timestamps\.
#### Impact of Genre Diversity\.

To examine whether exposure to diverse genres generalizes to broader creative ability, we evaluate outputs using the NoveltyBench Distinct metric\([25](https://arxiv.org/html/2608.13947#bib.bib9)\), which partitions generations into semantically and functionally equivalent clusters to estimate output distinctness\. As shown in Table[3](https://arxiv.org/html/2608.13947#S3.T3), the novelty score rises monotonically as the number of training genres increases from 0 to 13, confirming that diverse creative formats directly enhance the model’s capacity to generate varied, non\-redundant outputs\.

#### Robustness to Judge and Human Evaluation\.

To address potential self\-preference bias from GPT\-5\-mini serving as both query generator and judge, we re\-evaluate on WritingBench using two independent judges \(Table[4](https://arxiv.org/html/2608.13947#S3.T4)\)\. All fine\-tuned variants strictly outperform their base models across all three evaluators, confirming that gains reflect genuine quality improvements rather than evaluator artifacts\. We further validate via human evaluation on 50 prompts randomly sampled from WritingBench, scored following its protocol \(Table[5](https://arxiv.org/html/2608.13947#S3.T5)\), which corroborates these findings\.

#### Qualitative Analysis\.

Figure[6](https://arxiv.org/html/2608.13947#acmlabel6)further illustrates these gains\. Given a prompt requesting story\-driven symphonic metal deathcore lyrics formatted for Suno, the base Llama follows a conventional verse–chorus structure but relies on generic imagery and provides neither a title nor named entities\. In contrast, Llama \+ SFT produces a titled composition \(ASCENDANCE\), grounds the narrative in a named setting \(Aethel\), introduces a recurring character \(Elara\) and specific spells \(Lumen,Aero, andVerdant\), and supplies section\-level timestamps\. These differences indicate that multi\-genre training improves format compliance, world\-building specificity, and narrative coherence beyond the aggregate evaluation gains\.

## 4\.Related Work

High\-quality datasets have been central to advancing creative writing in language models, though early efforts focused almost exclusively on story generation\. WritingPrompts\([6](https://arxiv.org/html/2608.13947#bib.bib16)\)provided diverse prompt–story pairs from Reddit, ROCStories\([13](https://arxiv.org/html/2608.13947#bib.bib14)\)offered five\-sentence commonsense stories for narrative understanding, and LitBench\([7](https://arxiv.org/html/2608.13947#bib.bib15)\)introduced preference labels for evaluating story quality and writing personalization\. Beyond stories, prior work has targeted individual genres in isolation: SongComposer\([5](https://arxiv.org/html/2608.13947#bib.bib17)\)for lyric–melody pairs, and[12](https://arxiv.org/html/2608.13947#bib.bib18)for screenplay and theatre co\-writing\. In contrast, the Multi\-Genre Collection addresses the field’s collective blind spot in a unified framework, spanning 13 diverse creative genres within a single resource\.

## 5\.Conclusion

We introduce the Multi\-Genre Collection, a 50K\-instance, 13\-genre dataset\. Using our attribute\-guided genre expansion, we transfer thematic diversity from human\-authored prompts while enforcing genre\-specific constraints through manually curated attributes\. Our experiments demonstrate three key findings: \(1\) models fine\-tuned on our dataset substantially outperform both base models and writing\-specialized baselines; \(2\) our dataset consistently outperforms existing writing datasets; and \(3\) increasing genre diversity directly enhances output novelty\.

Towards Human-Level Book-Writing Capability

arXiv cs.AI

This paper introduces a dataset and training framework that transforms human-authored novels into multi-resolution planning scaffolds, enabling long-context language models to generate book-scale fiction with more human-like prose and narrative dynamics.

How Far Can Chord-Symbol Time-Series Adaptation Carry Genre Identity? Capabilities and Boundaries in Multi-Genre Chord-Symbol Modeling

Hugging Face Daily Papers

This paper evaluates how small adaptation interfaces (LoRA, IA3, BitFit, prefix tuning, full fine-tuning) extend a frozen Music Transformer to eleven target genres for chord-symbol time-series modeling. Results show consistent harmonic prediction improvement but limited genre identity representation, concluding that chord symbols alone are insufficient to capture complete genre identity.
