# 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.
