Just enough for it to feel like it was uh... written by a human. This is all for personal use, and I don't intend to publish this online.

What I would like for it to do are:

I will feed the direction of the story and Claude will only expand upon it and only it.

Use the appropriate characters (I.e, in ASOIAF, I say my character is in Kingslanding, only named characters will appear from Kingslanding and with reasonable stuff that would make them interact)

Though, you guys can share whatever worked for you. I tried bruteforcing Claude by correcting it but it's just enough for me. The dialogues feels robotic/souless, and the named characters from a novel has no reason to be there or is doing something they wouldn't do at all.

And lastly, do you have Claude read the story itself if you're going for a fanfic?
