Chapters

The task of filling out which characters have been in which chapters, is a fairly easy task. However, there are certain cases where sometimes it is not so straight-forward; in addition to that, there is also the case of knowing the layout in which these chapter appearances should be formatted in. Below is a guide showing how to format them.

If a character appears in a book that is a standalone book, then the following is an example of the formatting used for that character:

For people using SourceEditor:

==Chapters==

===Series/Book: The Heist: Monaco===

* Chapter 6: You Think We Need One More?

* Chapter 7: Who the Hell is Ulrich? (Determinant)

* Chapter 8: Grift Happens (Determinant)

* Chapter 9: Of Course It's A Masquerade (Determinant)

* Chapter 10: Now's Probably A Bad Time (Determinant)

* Chapter 11: Hit Me As Hard As You Can (Determinant)

* Chapter 12: Not Furious Per Se (Determinant)

Now I'm sure you have seen the tags in brackets/parentheses, these are to clarify in what capacity the characters have appeared in the chapter. However, the definitions can sometimes get a bit muddled and so here are the definitions to make sure everyone is on the same page


 * Determinant - If this character only appears in a chapter if you use choose a diamond choice or a certain path, then this is the tag you use after the title of the chapter.


 * Off-Screen - If this character appears only over the phone or via a call of any kind, then this is the tag you use after title of the chapter.


 * Credit Only - This is the trickiest one. If you know that a character is in a chapter but they are not seen and only if they are mentioned to be in that scene, can you use this tag after the title of the chapter.


 * Mentioned - If this character is mentioned by another character and/or by the monologue, then this is the tag you use after the title of the chapter.


 * Text/Letter - If this character is only shown in that chapter, texting or having written a letter, then this is the tag you use after the title of the chapter.
