Optional context

Genre (optional)

Does this write my theme statement for me?: It suggests starting points you edit. Your finished theme belongs in your project notes and revision passes.
Can I use this for any genre?: Yes. Optional genre input tailors one prompt; core themes and motifs stay genre-agnostic.
How do motifs differ from themes?: Themes are arguments the story explores; motifs are recurring images or situations that echo that argument.
