Why we built Mythra.

Most writing software is built for one writer, one story, one book. That’s a reasonable assumption — until it isn’t.

My friend and I are writing two separate novel series set within the same universe. Every character, every location, every rule of the world has to stay consistent across both of our stories, written simultaneously, from two different perspectives. It’s the kind of project that doesn’t fit neatly into any existing tool, and we spent a long time trying to make existing tools fit anyway.

At one point we were running five different services just to cover the basics — a wiki for the lore, a manuscript editor, a plotting tool, a map builder, something to track what the other person had written. Five subscriptions, five logins, and still a constant low-level anxiety that something had fallen out of sync somewhere. The tools that were powerful enough to handle the complexity we needed were never designed with a collaborator in mind. Sharing wasn’t a feature. Cowriting was an afterthought.

Eventually it became easier to build something than to keep patching together things that were never meant to work with each other.

Mythra is a single place where the writing, the worldbuilding, the plotting, and the lore all live together — and where two writers can share all of it without friction. It was built first for us. We hope it’s useful for you too.
