- YA fantasy chapters begin with a structured 'CHAPTER PLAN' specifying POV, first line, emotional arc, chapter goal, and closing hook.
- The Hollow Crown project establishes a YA fantasy novel architecture of 10 chapters (~3,500 words each), using first-person past tense POV with per-chapter emotional beats, hooks, and sensory-heavy prose focused on identity erosion.
- The project establishes that magic in "The Hollow Crown" world is termed "The Resonance," inherited via bloodlines with sensory signatures (e.g., ozone, burnt sugar), and "stealing" it is taboo.
- Novel production pipelines spawn chapter tasks sequentially with explicit dependencies (e.g., ch-02 depends on ch-01 completion).
