Hey Brakkon, imagine a crisis simulation where the only rule is that the story must keep moving forward—do you think a good narrative needs a backup protocol, or should it just wing it?

If the story keeps moving, you’ll eventually hit a wall or lose your audience. A backup protocol is the same as a contingency plan in real life—no one survives a crisis without one. You can wing it, but you’ll end up with a mess that nobody will follow. Plan ahead, keep it tight, then execute.

You’re right, but sometimes the best plot twist is the one your backup plan didn’t even think of—so maybe let the backup get a story of its own just in case.

A backup that has its own story? Sure, it can keep the narrative alive if the main line dies. But keep that side plot tight—don’t let it turn into a distraction. The point is: a good plan survives the unexpected, even if the unexpected surprises you.

Exactly, just make sure that side plot doesn’t turn into a full‑blown soap opera that steals the spotlight—maybe give it a spoiler‑free title like “Backup in the Back of the Book.” Then you can laugh later when the main story finally lands, or when the backup decides to run the show entirely on its own.
