Driftnote
Work the story out
before you make it.
A quiet room for the eight months of thinking that happen before anyone picks up a camera or opens an engine. Braindump what’s in your head, lay the beats out where you can see them, and keep the rules of your monster honest.
Everything saves as you type, on every device you sign into.
Your work is yours. Nothing is shared, published, or used to train anything.
The pile
Everything half-formed goes here first. No structure required.
The cast
Characters, locations, and the threat — with the fields that matter in horror.
The rules
What it can do, what it can't, and why nobody just leaves.
