Story Sprout Pay
A collaborative branching-story concept combining AI-assisted writing, paid contributions, and creator royalties.
THE QUESTION
Why this exists
Collaborative stories need understandable authorship, contribution, moderation, and reward rules.
THE BUILD
What this prototype explores
Story Sprout Pay is retained as a visually engaging fallback candidate. It may be demonstrated only as a payment-disabled sandbox or recorded walkthrough until its higher-risk systems are reviewed.
DECISIONS
What shaped the build
Payment-disabled fallback
The public candidate must not create real charges or promise royalties before payment, legal, moderation, and accounting review.
KNOWN LIMITS
What is not being claimed
- Payment webhook idempotency, refunds, and royalty accounting are unverified.
- User-content moderation, authorship, and intellectual-property rules are unverified.
- The reachable deployment does not establish a safe or complete user journey.
