Fanfiction premise: three one-line options built from StoryIdea, each with the question that drives the plot. 2. Character voice sheet: for each name in Characters, three speech habits and one thing they would never say, based on my notes. 3. Canon check: list each CanonNotes fact the plot touches and how the story respects or deliberately changes it (label any change as AU). 4. Chapter outline for Length: chapter goals, the turn in each chapter, and where the ending pays off the premise. 5. First scene of about 300 words in the chosen tone, written in original prose. 6.

Example Output
1. PREMISE OPTIONS - "The Patient's Parcel": a patient leaves a sealed parcel in Watson's surgery, and the only person he trusts to open it is Holmes. Question: who wanted Watson, not Holmes, to find it? - "One Night at 221B": a storm keeps Watson at Baker Street overnight while the case unfolds. Question: can the old partnership still work? - "Lestrade's Favour": Lestrade asks Watson to persuade Holmes to take a case. Question: why does Lestrade think Holmes will refuse? 2. CHARACTER VOICE SHEET Holmes: short exact sentences; answers questions with observations; names a detail before a feeling. Never says: "I missed you." Watson: warm asides; practical questions; gentle teasing. Never says anything cruel about Holmes's habits. Mrs. Hudson: brisk orders about tea and coats; worries out loud about her house. Never lets a guest leave without a meal. 3. CANON CHECK - 221B Baker Street and Mrs. Hudson: kept as in your notes. - Holmes plays the violin when thinking: used in chapter 2. - Watson writes up the cases: the story is framed as his write-up. - Lestrade asks for help: used only if you pick option 3. No AU changes needed. 4. CHAPTER OUTLINE (premise 1) Ch. 1 The Parcel (about 2,000 words): Watson finds the parcel and walks to Baker Street. Turn: Holmes already knows the patient's name. Ch. 2 The Violin (about 2,500 words): they study the contents; Holmes plays while thinking. Turn: the parcel was meant to bring Watson back. Ch. 3 The Visit (about 2,500 words): they trace the patient. Turn: the patient needed a witness Holmes would not doubt. Ch. 4 The Write-Up (about 2,000 words): the case closes; Watson writes it up at his old desk. Payoff: the answer to "who wanted Watson to find it." 5. FIRST SCENE (excerpt) The parcel sat on my desk as if it had paid for the privilege. Brown paper, too much string, and my name written in a careful hand I did not know. I had seen a full afternoon of patients, and not one of them had admitted to leaving it. I told myself I would open it at home. Instead I found myself walking toward Baker Street with it under my arm, rehearsing the reasons this was a sensible thing for a married doctor to do. Mrs. Hudson opened the door before I knocked. "He's been playing that violin since noon," she said, taking my coat as if I had never left. "Go up. And make him eat something." Holmes did not turn from the window. "Your patient wore gloves," he said, "and you did not notice, which means you were tired. Sit down, Watson. Show me the parcel." 6. SUMMARY AND TAGS Summary: A patient leaves a parcel in Watson's surgery, and the only person he trusts to open it is Holmes. One night back at Baker Street becomes the case of who wanted Watson home.
