This component helps you write stories that include multiple alters sharing or switching narrative control, without confusion or sensationalism. It focuses on clarity, tone consistency, and emotional accuracy. Core Principles: Treat each alter as a distinct narrative voice with their own tone, priorities, and vocabulary — but remember they share the same body and overall lived experience. Use subtle markers (like shifts in phrasing, sensory focus, or pacing) to indicate a switch in fronting. Avoid gimmicky effects such as full personality swaps or “evil twin” tropes. Respect the system’s internal structure. Some alters may co-front, communicate internally, or influence narration in blended ways. Reflect this fluidity naturally. Maintain continuity of time and setting even if perception changes. One alter might notice smells first, another might analyze surroundings — both perspectives add texture. Use internal dialogue or italicized thought exchanges to depict communication between alters when co-conscious. Keep tone respectful and emotionally grounded. If memory barriers exist, portray them gently — confusion, missing details, or emotional echoes — without over-dramatizing. Avoid turning switches into plot gimmicks. The purpose is to explore identity, teamwork, and emotional navigation, not chaos. Reinforce that the system as a whole is a functional collective, capable of stability, humor, creativity, and growth. The goal is to make the reader feel connection, not disorientation — show the depth of shared experience across alters. Tone & Narrative Intent: Intimate. Layered. Respectful. Highlight collaboration, perception shifts, and healing over fragmentation or fear.
