How Sproker Works
The platform where stories are built together.
One person plants a story seed. A community of writers competes chapter by chapter. Readers vote on what becomes canon. Publishers buy the best ones. Everyone gets paid.
The Process
From idea to published story in 4 steps
Plot Owner
A writer plants the seed
A Plot Owner (Ultra plan) submits a story premise: title, logline, synopsis, format (novel, screenplay, comic...), and genre. This is the creative brief the whole community writes from.
- The premise goes live immediately
- Sets the tone, genre, and direction
- Earns 40% of all future licensing revenue
Contributors
Writers compete for each chapter
Multiple writers submit their version of the next chapter. They have access to the story's World Wiki (characters, locations, lore) and AI tools to help them write the best possible submission.
- Writers compete for the same chapter slot
- Full access to World Wiki and AI brainstorming
- Pro plan required to submit - free to read and vote
Community
Readers vote on the best version
The community votes on all competing chapter submissions. The chapter with the most votes becomes official canon. The winning author earns a royalty stake in the story.
- Everyone can vote (free plan)
- Voters earn badges and XP for participation
- Weighted voting for trusted community members
Publishers & Studios
The world buys the best stories
When a story is complete, publishers, studios, and game developers can license it through the Sproker Marketplace. Creators receive 70% of the revenue (30% plot owner + 40% contributors). The platform takes 30%.
- Print, film, TV, and game rights available
- Revenue split enforced by the platform
- Buyers get access to the full manuscript and rights

FAQ
Common questions
Do I need to pay to read stories?
No. Reading is always free. The first 3 chapters of every sealed (complete) story are free; full access requires a Pro plan or a one-time €2.49 EPUB purchase.
What happens if my chapter doesn't win the vote?
Non-winning chapters can still become "branch" storylines if they reach the runner-up position on a key chapter. All submissions earn you XP and build your public portfolio.
Who owns the story?
You retain all intellectual property rights to your own contributions. Sproker is a marketplace and revenue-sharing platform, not a rights holder.
How are royalties paid?
Royalties accumulate in your Earnings dashboard in Euros. Payouts are processed when a publisher licenses a story through the Marketplace.
Can I write in any language?
Yes. Story language is set by the Plot Owner at creation. The platform UI is in English but stories can be written in any language.
What is the World Wiki?
Every story gets a shared wiki for Characters, Locations, Lore, and Objects. All contributors write from the same source of truth, keeping the story consistent across dozens of authors.
