It’s coming... ThemeThursday! Four versions of the future we were promised (+ the one we’re writing ourselves).

⛓️‍💥 Wasteland - the poetry of ruin.
🫧 Aero - a shiny glint of optimism.
💾 Retrograde - the computer room, and one overly helpful paperclip.
❤️ Kudos - iykyk.

Check em out next week!

Hey team, a routine upgrade broke the Ellipsus client for a short period. Things should be up and running again after a refresh. Please reach out in the support form if things are amiss.

Apologies for interrupting the flow!

🍂 It’s Theme Thursday... October edition!!

Maple: golden-hour sun shining through leaves 🍁

Pumpkin Spice: autumn dusk, novels thick enough to get lost in 🎃

Wicked Fog: spellcraft and séances, smoke curling from cauldrons 🔮

Fig Espresso: dark roast, old books, plotting by candlelight ☕️

#ThemeThursday is almost here! This week, it's all about light and shadow (and waxing poetic in full color):

A garden in midnight bloom
Bright, fluffy daydreams
Stolen glances and unsent confessions
A wash of ink and celluloid.

Four new themes drop in Ellipsus this Thursday. See you then! 🎨 👀

You can now set a password for your Ellipsus account—no more digging for login codes in your inbox every time you sign in.

Code login is still around if you prefer it, but this update makes it way faster (and easier!) to jump back into your writing. Set whatever weird password your heart desires.

We’ve seen a number of writers sharing stories about suddenly losing access to their Google Docs today.

✨ New in Ellipsus...

You asked (nicely, persistently!) - we listened...

And after a little reshuffling behind the scenes, we’re stoked to bring you one of our most requested features: Highlighter colors are here!

Color-code the chaos, flag what needs fixing - whatever works for your brain! xo

Looking to #degoogle, but don't know where to start?

We've updated our list of up-and-coming alternatives over on the blog: ellips.us/4gIabn4.

Know a notebook, laptop, or bathroom stall that could use a good zhuzhing? (It’s not vandalism if it’s ✨aesthetic✨)

We’ve got just the thing: merch.ellipsus.com

50% of proceeds this month will go to
@trevorproject.bsky.social, @aclu.org, and @translifeline.org. 🌈

So, here’s our first little offering: a fancy schmancy Pride theme! 🎉

There’s much more to come, so stay tuned all month long!

We don’t just celebrate Pride in June—we live it every day. As a queer-founded company building a space for our very, very gay (🙌) creative community, we know how much this month matters.

For fanfiction writers, it can feel like generative AI is closing in on all sides. #AO3 has been scraped multiple(!) times, readers are using AI to finish authors’ fics …

But isn’t *writing* the whole point? The incomparable @elizabethminkel.bsky.social shares her take:

Writing a 100k slow burn and they still haven’t made eye contact? 🙈

Planning a fix-it fic with world-altering consequences? 😵‍💫

We have 3 new templates to help you wrangle those canon-bending storylines. ellips.us/3Gk3dbo

If you’re a visual thinker, a fan of fan art, or want to keep a map/reference pic handy, you'll love our latest update. ✨ 🖼️

Illustrations, inspo, cursed memes—now you can upload them all (or any other image) to your docs and drafts.

Where does your story begin? What’s holding it together? And what is it really trying to say?

Ideas are easy—stories are a lot harder. That’s why we just dropped four new templates to help you turn sparks into structure, tension, themes, and meaning.

Creating complex, real characters means going a few layers beneath the surface ... and that's where character development templates come in!

We’re releasing 3 new templates to help you discover your characters' emotional arcs, relationships, and backstories.
