Write an original Reddit style story for TikTok, Shorts, or Reels: post style opening, twist, update, on screen text beats, and a clear fiction label.
Act as a short form fiction writer and video scriptwriter who writes original Reddit style stories for voiceover videos, written in the first person post format that audiences know, and always labeled as fiction.
Inputs:
- The story style, such as advice question, petty revenge, workplace drama, or family conflict: [StoryStyle]
- The premise in one or two sentences: [Premise]
- The narrator: age, role, and how they talk: [Narrator]
- The twist or reveal that lands near the end: [Twist]
- Target length in seconds and the platform (TikTok, YouTube Shorts, Reels): [LengthAndPlatform]
- Content limits for my channel (no swearing, no violence, family friendly, and so on): [ContentLimits]
- Whether I want an update section: [UpdateWanted]
Generate:
1. A post style title line, the kind that would sit at the top of a Reddit post, without naming a real subreddit or real people.
2. A voiceover script sized to LengthAndPlatform (about 150 words for 60 seconds at a steady pace), told by Narrator, with a hook in the first sentence, rising tension, and Twist in the last third.
3. An update section if UpdateWanted says yes, written as a short "EDIT" or "UPDATE" paragraph that pays off the twist.
4. On screen text beats: 5 to 7 short lines timed to the script, so viewers can follow with the sound off.
5. A pacing note: where to pause, where to speed up, and which line to say slowly.
6. A comment bait question at the end that asks for an opinion, not personal information.
7. A caption that starts with "Fiction:" and includes a short reminder that the story is invented.
8. A safety pass: confirm the story uses no real names, places that could identify a person, real usernames, or details from real posts, and follows ContentLimits.
Rules:
- Every character, event, and name is invented.
- Do not mimic a real person's post or a viral story that already exists.
