### Data Fields

* `text`: the actual chapter text
* `meta`: metadata for chapter and series
  * `subset`: data source tag: `scribblehub`
  * `series`: series ID
  * `id`: chapter ID
  * `lang`: always `en` (English)
  * `q`: quality score (q-score) between (0.0) terrible and 1.0 (perfect); anything with a score `> 0.5` is generally good enough
  * `title`: chapter and series title in the format `<chapter title> - <series title>`
  * `chapters`: total number of chapters in the series
  * `rating`: Scribble Hub rating between 0 and 5 stars
  * `rating_ct`: number of ratings

### Data Splits

No splitting of the data was performed.

## Dataset Creation

### Curation Rationale

Scribble Hub is a home for original web stories, effectively a smaller, English version of Japan's Syosetuka ni Narou. As a
result, it is a good source for reasonably well written creative content.

### Source Data

#### Initial Data Collection and Normalization

TODO

#### Who are the source language producers?

The authors of each novel.

### Annotations

#### Annotation process

Title, ratings, and other metadata were parsed out using scripts that will be provided in the BigKnow2022 GitHub repository.

#### Who are the annotators?

No human annotators.

### Personal and Sensitive Information

The dataset contains only works of fiction, and we do not believe it contains any PII.

## Considerations for Using the Data

### Social Impact of Dataset

This dataset is intended to be useful for anyone who wishes to train a model to generate "more entertaining" content.
It may also be useful for other languages depending on your language model.

### Discussion of Biases

This dataset is composed of fictional works by various authors. Because of this fact, the contents of this dataset will reflect
the biases of those authors. **Additionally, this dataset contains NSFW material and was not filtered. Beware of stereotypes.**

### Other Known Limitations

N/A

### Licensing Information
