Hey Product Hunt -- I'm Shea. I write dark Celtic fantasy romance and I built Romancery because I was exhausted. Every time I started plotting a new book, I'd have five browser tabs open: one writing teacher's beat sheet, another's character arc framework, a trope breakdown from a third, a tension checklist from a fourth, and a blank spreadsheet slowly becoming a monster. I'd copy beats into the spreadsheet, cross-reference tropes, stare at the result, and think... wait, was that supposed to go there? I write around a full-time day job and two kids -- ages 6 and 7. My writing time is late nights after everyone's asleep, and stolen pockets during my daughter's gymnastics class and my son's baseball games. I write in parking lots. I do not have time to cross-reference five tabs. So I built the tool I actually needed. One place. 13 romance-native beats. The trope selector tells you which beats matter most for enemies-to-lovers vs. forced proximity vs. age-gap. You plan your beats, generate scenes from them, and write in the same tab. The whole arc on one screen. Free for one book, forever. No credit card. Pro ($9/mo or $79/yr) unlocks series mode, worldbuilding, beta-reader share links, and more. I'd love feedback -- especially from anyone who's tried Plottr, Scrivener, or Save the Cat software and found them frustrating for romance specifically. That's exactly who I built this for.

Hey PH! I'm Shea — I built Romancery because my plotting process was genuinely a crime scene. Five browser tabs, three notebooks, a Google Doc I abandoned, and sticky notes I lost at my kids' baseball games.

I write dark Celtic fantasy romance around a 9-5 and two kids. I needed a planner built specifically for love stories — not Save the Cat with romance scenes stapled on.

So I built the 13 beats from scratch. Romance-native structure: Wound, First Friction, Want, First Kiss, Dark Moment, Climax, HEA — plus 8 more. All on one screen. Your whole arc, visible while you write.

Free forever for one book. Pro is $9/mo for series mode, worldbuilding tab, beta-reader share links, and daily snapshots (so you never lose work).

Happy to answer any questions about the beat structure or how the scene generator works. And if you write fantasy romance — the sample project loads The White Wolf's Wrath as a demo so you can see it fully populated. 🖤
