The Cast List
A book does not have characters. It has voices. Lay a scene down and this bench names every one that speaks, weighs the part by how much it carries, and tells you plainly how many voices your build truly needs — before you ever reach the third station of the Forge.
The scene
The bench reads dialogue tags — "said Maren", "Maren answered" — and follows an exchange between two voices even when the tags fall away. Nothing you paste here leaves this browser.

Voices are billed in blocks of two at 1% of your word count each, and the block always rounds up. The narrator is counted as a voice of their own, because they are.
The company
Lay a scene in the panel and your company will assemble here, strongest part first.
