Tips for fiction authors

Document every proper noun after drafting book one: character eye color, city names, magic costs. Readers remember details you forget.
Track foreshadowing with a payoff deadline. If you plant a mystery in chapter 3, note which chapter resolves it.
When using AI for series continuation in Story Studio, paste your bible into project context. AI with a bible produces far fewer continuity errors.
Update your bible after every draft pass, not during. Drafting is creative; bible updates are editorial. Mixing them slows both.
Cross-check your bible against the proper noun extractor and day-name extractor after each manuscript revision.

Common questions

Where is my series bible stored?

In your browser's localStorage on this device. Copy as Markdown for backup or to sync across machines manually.

Can I use this for a standalone novel?

Yes. Treat it as a story bible — skip series-specific fields you do not need.

Is my worldbuilding uploaded?

No. Everything stays local in your browser on Entangled Text.

How does this help AI drafting?

Paste bible sections into Story Studio project notes so chapter generation respects your canon instead of inventing contradictions.

What if I clear browser data?

localStorage clears with browser data. Copy as Markdown regularly so you always have a backup outside the browser.
