Tellyah: Write Short Stories

Tellyah is a writing app for short stories, or tellys. Write one on your phone, add choices if you want, and find out exactly what your readers felt. WRITE SHORT. THAT IS THE WHOLE POINT. No novel. No manuscript. No outline you abandon in March. A story here is a few bubbles, not four hundred pages. An idea you noted at 2am, a scene stuck on repeat, a memory you never told anyone: that is already enough to start. You do not need to be an author. You do not need to have been published. YOU WRITE BUBBLE BY BUBBLE Short story writing built for a phone screen, one bubble at a time. Start, stop, come back tomorrow: your draft waits for you. No blank page staring back. You are only ever writing the next bubble. ADD CHOICES, OR DO NOT At any moment you can split your story in two and let the reader decide. Different scenes, different endings, all written by you. It turns a short story into interactive fiction without any of the work of building a game. Or keep it straight through. Both belong here. SEE WHAT YOUR STORY ACTUALLY DID Readers do not hit like. They leave an emo: the chill, the tears, the laugh, the anger. You see which bubble made them feel it, and which ending they reached. For once, you find out where your story landed. NOBODY RATES YOU. NOBODY RANKS YOU. No leaderboard. No follower count. No like counter to refresh at midnight. Nothing here turns your writing into a score. EVERY CATEGORY HAS ITS OWN LIGHT Thriller, romance, drama, fantasy, crime, horror, feel good, story time, adventure, poetry. Each category has its own colours, typography and light. A crime story does not look like a romance: your story is dressed for what it is. AND WHEN YOU FEEL LIKE READING Other people's stories are here too, free, as much as you like. A choice to make, an ending you caused. Writing prompts are everywhere once you start reading other people's endings. Tellyah is free: no subscription, ads in the feed. Write your first story tonight.
