Workflow

Design fiction as a causal system, not a sequence of cool events. Plot and character arc must pressure each other.

Read:

  • references/fiction-craft-system.md for the overall craft model
  • references/plot-character-arc.md when designing protagonist, antagonist, or long arc
  • references/scene-design.md when producing scene lists or chapters
  • references/setup-payoff.md when designing clues, foreshadowing, reveals, reversals, or endings

Use fiction-story-bible-manager when the story is long, serialized, mystery-heavy, timeline-heavy, worldbuilding-heavy, or contains many recurring terms and entities.

Quality Rules

  • Give every major scene a goal, conflict, turning point, information change, and emotional or relationship shift.
  • Make every major payoff fair by planting setup first.
  • Track what the reader knows separately from what the POV character knows.
  • Give world rules costs, limits, and exceptions.
  • Avoid deus ex machina, rule drift, filler scenes, and character choices that exist only to serve outline convenience.
