Story Bible Editor
Build your story bible with form fields instead of manual JSON. Import an existing file or start fresh, then download <title>_story_bible.json. Uploading it in the generator activates Canon locked automatically; without a supplied bible, generation uses adaptive continuity instead.
Strict-canon trade-off: Canon locked may pause more generations than adaptive continuity when no safe chapter can satisfy your story bible. Finished chapters stay saved and credits for unfinished chapters are returned.
Use this if you already have a `story_bible.json` and want to edit it.
Ready.
Core setup
Open cast still protects names, gender, relationships, institutions, and chapter beats. Use closed only for bottle stories or tightly controlled casts.
Series foundation
Reusable context for a whole series. Use this for book-level direction, world rules, progression systems, terminology, and notification formatting.
Series spine
Groups: location, organization, business, property, object, pet. Separate multiple aliases with commas.
Spine
Each chapter should be one short event summary. Example: "Mara arrives, discovers the hard deadline, and meets a hostile contractor."
Characters
Use one character card per key story role. Character #1 must be the protagonist. Fill behavior details (wounds, flaws, boundaries) to reduce character drift.
Theme
Relationships
Example core tension: "She rushes everything; he refuses shortcuts."
Emotional arc
Target emotion and character shift are required for each beat. Emotional stakes are optional. Multiple beats for one chapter are combined.
Tension arc
Track unresolved questions ("open loops") so the middle of the book stays active.
