Frequently Asked Questions
Which plot structure should I choose?
Three-Act is the most versatile and widely used. Hero's Journey works great for adventure/fantasy. In Media Res creates immediate tension. Nonlinear suits mystery and literary fiction.
Can I generate plots for existing characters?
Yes! Include your character descriptions in the premise and the AI will build the plot around them.
How detailed is the scene breakdown?
You get a scene-by-scene outline with location, key events, and emotional beats. For a short story, expect 8-12 scenes. For a novel, 20-30 scenes.
What if I don't have a specific idea yet?
Enter a theme, genre, and setting — even something vague like 'a mystery set in a small coastal town about family secrets.' The AI will develop it into a full plot.
