When you're building stories with My Spicy Vanilla, the most powerful way to make the AI sound likeย you is by creating a custom Plugin that captures your writing style. Whether youโre into poetic prose, gritty realism, or breezy rom-com banter, a personalized Plugin helps shape every sentence.
This guide walks you through how to define your style, write clear instructions, and teach the AI to echo your voice.
ย
What Is a Writing Style Plugin?
A Writing Style Plugin is a set of instructions that tells the AI how to sound like you. Itโs not about plot or worldbuildingโitโs about the rhythm of your sentences, your favorite expressions, the tone you lean into, and the way your characters talk. Once created, this Plugin can be applied across all your stories to ensure stylistic consistency.
ย
Why Use One?
Without style guidance, the AI defaults to neutral storytelling. Itโll still be competentโbut it wonโt sound like you. A style Plugin helps with:
- Matching the tone you prefer (romantic, sarcastic, lyrical, etc.)
- Controlling pacing and sentence structure
- Shaping the voice of the narrator or main characters
- Reinforcing your brand if youโre a professional writer

How to Write a Style Plugin
Go to the Plugins section in your dashboard, click โCreate Plugin,โ and write instructions in plain English. You donโt need to be technicalโjust describe how you write. Here are some examples to inspire you:
Romantic & Flowery
Write in a lush, romantic style. Use long, descriptive sentences and poetic imagery. Dialogue should feel tender and emotionally charged. Favor metaphors drawn from nature or music.
Casual & Witty
Use a breezy, modern tone. Keep sentences short and slightly sarcastic. Add self-aware humor and pop culture references. Characters should interrupt each other in dialogue to feel real and messy.
Minimalist & Tense
Keep prose stripped down and clean. Avoid unnecessary adjectives. Let tension build through silence and subtext rather than exposition. Dialogue should be brief and emotionally loaded.
Gothic & Lyrical
Write with an old-fashioned, gothic tone. Use archaic phrases, long compound sentences, and vivid atmosphere. Focus on mood and psychological nuance.

Tips for Best Results
- Be Specific: โMake it more emotionalโ is vague. โUse metaphors and internal monologue to show emotional struggleโ is better.
- Avoid Copyrighted Phrases: Donโt copy lines or styles from published authorsโuse your own voice as inspiration.
- Keep It Focused: Donโt mix too many styles in one Plugin. If you want both witty banter and poetic prose, create separate Plugins and test them independently.
- Test and Refine: After generating a few chapters, tweak the instructions if something feels off. Your style Plugin can evolve with you.
