I imagine a componentized approach to fiction generation. The list of characters is one component. The narrative arc (in the abstract) is another. The world is another. Each dialog chunk, each action chunk, another. Each component AI generated. And each referring to the other components for its construction. For consistency. It could be horribly formulaic but cunning and tasty too.
