The Longform plugin helps writers organize and manage long writing projects such as novels and screenplays within Obsidian. It allows users to structure their work by creating a series of notes, or scenes, that can be arranged in an ordered manuscript. The plugin provides features like word count tracking, writing session goals, and project compilation to generate a complete manuscript. It supports both multi-scene and single-scene projects, making it suitable for different types of writing. Longform offers an intuitive sidebar for managing projects, scene organization through drag-and-drop, and custom styling options for an enhanced writing environment. Users can also track multiple drafts and compile their work using customizable workflows.

The Japanese Manuscript Counter plugin displays real time character counts and manuscript page equivalents optimized for Japanese writing. It shows counts in the status bar based on the 400 character manuscript paper standard (genkouyoushi). When you select text, the plugin updates to show counts for just that selection. You can also access detailed counting information through the command palette. The plugin accounts for Japanese specific formatting rules including line breaks, paragraphs and kinsoku shori (line-breaking restrictions). Full width characters count as one, half width as 0.5. Essential for Japanese writers who need accurate manuscript formatting.
