Overview

Creating a scenario starts a what-if version of the current scene order. It lets you test alternatives without immediately changing the main story.

When Should I Use This?

Use it when a revision idea could affect several scenes, chapters or reveals, and you want to explore consequences safely.

How To Use It

Give the scenario a name that describes the experiment, choose its scope and add a short note about what you are testing.

Example

"Delay Witness Reveal" is clearer than "Scenario 2" because it tells you the structural question at a glance.

Writer Tip

Create scenarios for decisions you genuinely need to compare, not every small adjustment.

Common Mistakes

• Forgetting the scenario is a test.
• Using vague names.
• Creating a sandbox without a clear story question.
