Craft

How to write a version people finish

  1. 01

    Open at the branch point, not with a recap

    Readers know the canon. Show the moment things went differently right away.

  2. 02

    One strong idea

    A good version answers one “what if…?” question and follows it honestly to the end.

  3. 03

    Characters stay themselves

    Even in a different world they’re recognizable. The canon check tells you where you drifted.

  4. 04

    Short chapters

    Chapters of 1,500–3,000 words read well on a phone. End each with a question.

  5. 05

    The title matters

    It’s the first thing readers see in the feed. The AI suggests five titles for one spark.

  6. 06

    Post regularly

    Followers are notified about new chapters. Regularity turns readers into fans.
