Writer Creates a New Story

Actor: Writer

A writer creates a new story on the platform, setting its basic details, mature content flag, and initial status as draft.

1. The writer navigates to the dashboard and selects "Create New Story".

2. The system displays a form requesting title, short description, content, mature content flag, cover image, and genre selection.

3. The writer fills in all the details and submits the form.

4. The system inserts a new record into the STORY table.

INSERT INTO STORY (mature_content, short_description, image, content, user_id, created_at, updated_at)
VALUES (FALSE, 'The Chronicles of Eldoria: When the last dragon awakens, a young mage must unite the fractured kingdoms',
'https://images.unsplash.com/photo-dragon-fantasy.jpg',
'In the ancient realm of Eldoria...',
2, CURRENT_TIMESTAMP, CURRENT_TIMESTAMP);

5. The system sets the story status as draft by default.

INSERT INTO STATUS (story_id, status)
VALUES (1, 'draft');

6. The system assigns the selected genres to the story.

INSERT INTO HAS_GENRE (story_id, genre_id) VALUES
(1, 1),
(1, 4),
