There has been a lot going on at Weidu Fanling. Here is where the stories, experiments and practical tools have reached at the end of October.
Stories, reading and listening
We Don’t Need You Anymore has begun its public release with Part 1, The Verandah. Parts 2 to 5 are scheduled daily at 10:00 am London time from 31 October to 3 November. This dramatisation draws on recollections and dated correspondence, with reconstructed scenes identified. It uses disclosed AI narration and illustrative AI artwork. The public playlist will gather the instalments as they appear.
The Nest Question, the first Wandering & Wondering book, is available in English and prepared Simplified Chinese, with reading copies, printable booklets and a browser companion. Human Chinese proofreading, a physical folded proof and shared reader testing remain work to do.
What Else Might Be True? has reached five revised book manuscripts. Publishing arrangements and final production work are still open. The Not Yet Bridge now has six revised screenplay episodes assembled for readers. The books are in publication preparation, and the screenplay is ready for further reading and development.
Harmonious Growth has six published instalments through Episode 5, including 4.1. A proposed musical opening called Leave a Door is being developed for what comes next.
Experiments and useful things
The new Lab update introduces eight browser experiments, with optional AI help offered separately. Try a fictional catchment, a possible future, different interpretations or a small invented world. Each explains its limits.
PECA has expanded its Atlas and World Portal. Its current page records the accepted releases, sources, coverage and work still under review. The new PECA update records the 30 October milestone review.
Helping Each Other now has a workspace for saving and reopening work, preparing documents, tables or calendar files, and reviewing a brief for an AI assistant of your choice. The helpers themselves send nothing and make no AI calls. The worksheets and full Community Kit remain free.
Drive Helper can help you review matching files and prepare checked copies while leaving originals where they are. Care Continuity offers practical preparation and plain reading routes. Signal Check is a beta for examining links and keeping evidence notes, without an automatic truth or AI-authorship verdict.
ELSEWHERE remains open for quiet, play and voluntary contributions. Can We Take Care of This? offers a private first-step guide; its proposed Ideas Bank and Vault are still future work.
Looking after the place
Today’s checks confirmed short playback and pause on Music’s three audio players, and a clean start and stop for Ghost Radio. All 100 radio track links were reachable, and the full Community Kit download was available. Those checks cover the routes and controls tested, with more combinations of devices and uses still to try.
We are having a good time making all this. Read something, try a tool, put on a song, or come back to see what changes next. The Build Log will keep the dated record as the work continues.
