Third-Person Drift: AI Prompts That Catch When Your Narrator Slides Out of a Character's Head

Third-person limited fails silently.

Series Bible Continuity Audits: AI Prompts That Catch Broken Foreshadowing Before Book 3 Ships

A standalone novel is a closed system you can hold in one cognitive workspace. A trilogy is something else entirely—when you're drafting Book 3, the promises you made in Book 1 were written eighteen months ago, possibly by a slightly different version of yourself with a slightly different vision for where everything was heading.
