Frequently asked questions
Is a generated plot a complete outline?
It is a strong three-act skeleton. Expand each beat into scenes; the conflict and escalation are already built in.
Which genres are supported?
Fantasy, mystery, romance, sci-fi, thriller, literary, and general.
Can I modify the generated plot?
Yes — treat it as scaffolding. Most writers keep the premise and replace the details with their own world and characters.
