Genre Craft

Overview

Genre-specific structural packs: the codified craft each genre expects, as checkable rules, ledgers, and audits. Packs cover mystery (fair play + clue ledger), romance (beats + HEA contract), thriller (ticking clock, power imbalance, set pieces), horror (dread/terror ordering, monster rules), MG/YA (category constraints), science fiction (load-bearing speculative elements), fantasy (quest structure, magic paid off by its rules and costs), historical fiction (period voice, anachronisms, real people), comedy (escalation, comic set-ups and payoffs, tone), and serial/episodic structure. Use at story-init (pick the pack, set the constraints) and in revision (run the pack's audit).
