This is a medium-length story dataset introduced in LongStory: Coherent, Complete and Length Controlled Long story Generation : https://arxiv.org/abs/2311.15208.

The dataset was collected by the authors from Reedsy Prompts : https://blog.reedsy.com/short-stories/, as of May 2023.

In the original paper, the authors use a 60k/4k/4k train/validation/test split.

For comparison:

  • WritingPrompts (Fan et al., 2018): ~768 tokens per story

  • Booksum (Kryściński et al., 2021): ~6,065 tokens per story

  • BookCorpus (Project Gutenberg): ~90,000 words per story (approx.)

  • (ours) ReedsyPrompts : ~2426 tokens per story

Use this :


  from datasets import load_dataset 
  ds = load_dataset("Iyan/reedsyPrompts") 
  print(ds["train"][0]['index'])
  print(ds["train"][0]['prompt']) # the prompt of the story
  print(ds["train"][0]['name']) # the title of the story
  print(ds["train"][0]['story'])
