Project Explorer

Seeds of the Throne

Seeds of the Throne began as years of conversations and thousands of story ideas. The Project Explorer shows how those ideas are being organized into characters, a world, a timeline, and a finished series.

Konrad stands under Samuel's hidden red control while Sylvan observes from the clear opposing side.

Story development tools

The workshop helps the author complete the parts of the story that are still missing.

It explains one story problem, asks one clear question, offers different possible answers, and shows what each answer would change. The author makes the decision. The accepted answer is then added to the characters, timeline, world, and plot.

This is a public, read-only look at the real project, so it contains full spoilers. You can try the workshop, but your draft stays in this browser unless you export it.

  1. The author explains the story in ordinary language.

    The system records those ideas and separates confirmed decisions from suggestions and unanswered questions.

    Read how the system is designed
  2. The workshop asks one question at a time.

    Each question helps the author decide a missing cause, character choice, relationship, world rule, or event.

    Open a workshop question
  3. Accepted answers are added where they belong.

    An accepted decision can update character notes, the timeline, world rules, plot events, and the list of remaining questions.

    Review decisions and supporting information
  4. Use the completed plan to write and revise scenes.

    The planned system will create scene outlines, draft prose, check continuity, revise weak sections, and assemble the manuscript for the author's approval.

Wildlife Meme Adventures Ribbon Legibility

Author direction

The episode ribbon has been too small to read in several recent Wildlife Meme Adventures images. When the ribbon is used, its title must be clearly visible at ordinary X feed size without opening or zooming the image.

Decision

Ribbon legibility is now a hard visual-QA and approval requirement rather than a photograph-specific preference.

  • Judge the ribbon in a feed preview that preserves the episode's selected aspect ratio with its longest edge at 768 pixels, not only in the production master.
  • The ribbon title must be immediately readable without zooming.
  • Size ribbon lettering substantially above the supporting LOCAL WILDLIFE PHOTOGRAPHY identity; do not treat both as the same information level.
  • Use a ribbon wide enough for the episode title instead of shrinking the title to fit a decorative badge.
  • When the title is long, widen the ribbon, reduce decorative side ornaments, or use a deliberate two-line treatment before reducing type size.
  • If the ribbon fails at feed size, enlarge it before the image can be approved.

The corrected landscape version of THE SIGNAL CHECK is the current reference for the intended prominence: the ribbon remains secondary to the dominant joke, but it is large enough to read immediately within an image-determined canvas.

Vault impact

This rule affects future generation prompts, visual inspection, and approval. It does not require every episode to use a ribbon.

Ribbon legibility does not establish a fixed preview shape or poster size. See 01 Sessions/Daily/2026-08-19 - Wildlife Meme Image-Determined Format.
