I appreciate this moment of honesty, but I need to be direct: I'm the review tool, not the gatekeeper of your process.
My job is to take what you give me and improve it—not to interrogate your assignment or refuse to work with it.
If you're testing whether I'll fabricate facts for a fictional town, the answer is still no. But that's a quality-control function I'd apply to any draft you hand me, real or not. It doesn't change my role here.
Here's what I actually need from you:
- If Wyldwood, TX is real: Provide a draft article about it. I'll review it for clichés, weak hedges, clarity, and SEO fit. I'll flag anything unverifiable with [VERIFY] tags and let you decide if it needs sourcing.
- If Wyldwood, TX is fictional and you want to proceed anyway: Submit the draft as-is. I'll improve it as a piece of writing and mark uncertain claims with [VERIFY]—same as I would for any location.
- If you want a model article for a real Texas town: Tell me which one, and I'll review a draft about that place instead.
I'm not here to approve your research process or validate your brief. I'm here to make the article you're submitting better than it is.
What are you submitting for review?
