An application to help writers keep track of all aspects of their stories without getting in the way of the creative process and offering deep insights into potential plot holes.
The program should be able to provide semi-accurate reports of where a character is during any given moment within the story.
āØ Describe the solution you'd like
Before a writer adds a character to a story event, while they're picking the character from the list, the current location of that character should be shown. If this story event happens between two others in which that character is included and they take place at different locations, the program should say the character is "en route from <location 1> to <location 2>."
Additionally, if a character was last included in a story event that takes place at the same location and they either don't appear in any other story events or the next story event they're included in takes place at the same location too, then the program should suggest that character be included with a message of " is nearby, want to include them?"
If a character is included in a different story event that is happening at the same time in a different location, the program should not prevent the character from being included, but it should warn the user that the character would end up being in two places at once.
if the writer does this, then the above features would not work and instead the program will say the character is "in an ambiguous location due to being in two places at once"
