BIG NEWS! Dorian has partnered with AMC Networks!
Today, we are thrilled to announce that Dorian is partnering with AMC Networks to tap into the power of the Immortal Universe of Anne Rice! The partnership will empower millions of fans and creators to write, publish, stream, and monetize their own code-free interactive narratives using some of the most iconic IPs in the world, including Interview with the Vampire and Mayfair Witches.
AMC announced in May 2020 their acquisition of the Anne Rice catalog, which includes the Vampire Chronicles, the Lives of the Mayfair Witches series, and the crossover novels that blend the two paranormal worlds. The Walking Dead network’s new franchise will kick off Sunday, October 2 with the premiere of Anne Rice’s Interview with the Vampire, starring Jacob Anderson (Game of Thrones), who will play the tortured Louis de Pointe du Lac, Sam Reid (The Hunting) as his vampire maker, Lestat de Lioncourt, Bailey Bass (Avatar 2) as vampire fledgling Claudia, and Eric Bogosian (Talk Radio) as journalist Daniel Molloy. Anne Rice’s Mayfair Witches series is making its exclusive debut on AMC+, the network’s premium streaming bundle, this winter, and stars Alexandra Daddario (The White Lotus) as Rowan Mayfair, a brilliant doctor who discovers she heralds from a long line of witches in the Mayfair family, along with Jack Huston (House of Gucci) as Lasher, Harry Hamlin (Mad Men) as Cortland Mayfair and Tongayi Chirisa (Palm Springs) as Ciprien.
We're also excited to announce that this partnership will allow fans and creators exclusive access to licensed art and lore to create their own interactive stories in AMC’s Immortal Universe of Anne Rice. Dorian’s code-free creation engine, monetization features, and data analysis tools allow independent creators to write, publish, and earn royalties. With genre content like Interview ranking consistently high among the Dorian community, the addition of these IPs will tap into those passions and excite audiences of both game and series. Dorian will launch Anne Rice’s Interview with the Vampire alongside the premiere of the AMC series on October 2 with weekly content releases, fan-generated adaptation challenges, and livestream events spanning the epic first season.
In the meantime, get ready to create your own vampire tales by registering as a creator now!

Wait a minute, how do I make a revenue share prompt with custom art?
Follow this tutorial to create your custom art prompt!
First, make sure you’ve registered as a creator and gotten access to custom art through the form.
You will see a Backgrounds and Character Art Library button on the home page. Click to start uploading! Adding art to these libraries will make them usable in any of your stories. They will not be available for any other creators unless you share them through a prompt.
You can zoom in and out, crop, and reposition both backgrounds and characters. If you plan to add multiple characters, save their position so you can make sure they’re consistent!
Now, it’s time to create your prompt! Start by creating an empty story by hitting the “Create story” button on the left margin. Don’t worry about filling in the details yet. This will generate a blank canvas for you. Follow these simple steps to make your prompt:
Click “View Book”
In the left margin, look for the green button that says Then, hit “Make a prompt.”
You can now title and describe your prompt. Make sure you set the dial to “I claim ownership” and hit “Save as a Story Prompt.”
Now that you have your prompt, you can start adding content! Click the Characters button to add your characters. Click “Custom” and then “image” to search your uploaded characters. For a more in depth tutorial, check the Writer’s Corner article here.
Once you’ve chosen a character, simply giving it a player-facing name and you will be able to add it dialogue in your story! You can even play-test instantly in the emulator!
NOTE: You will notice that the right side of your character may appear cut off. This is only the case in the emulator and will not appear this way in the final version.
Ready to share your prompt? Only a few steps left!
Set your revenue share %! On the book level, click “Story Settings” and adjust the slider to set your preferred revenue.
Set tags related to your topic! If you’re using custom art, make sure to use the #otome game tag to help fans find your prompt!
Create a cover that shows off your art! Check out the examples of amazing covers on Dorian below
When you’re ready, click “Release in the App” and your prompt will appear instantly in your profile for use by creators!
