There was a specific process that was followed in writing each story.
It would start with a brainstorming conversation where Claude would read the bible and the most recently locked story, then start a discussion with me to try and identify what the human story is, who it is about, where it is set, what genre it should be and, crucially, what its ending needs to be.
Once we were able to align on a plot and the characters to drive it, Claude initiated an outlining conversation that converted the overall shape of the story into a section-by-section plan that mapped out the details of how the story would proceed in granular detail. This was followed by a drafting conversation in which the story actually got written.
Once the story was done, there was a series of editorial conversations aimed at identifying inconsistencies, if any, and suggesting ways to tighten the draft or take it in a different direction for narrative interest. Once these edits were baked in, the story was locked, and the bible was updated to reflect the new story's details.
