TMDB Season Synopsis: "After multiple failed attempts of IVF, actress Anna Victoria Alcott wants nothing more than to start a family. As the buzz around her recent film grows, she fears that something may be targeting her and her pursuit of motherhood."
Source [1]: General info about the series (anthology horror drama).
Source [2]: Stills/photos link.
Source [3]: Mentions Murphy's passion and season-to-season connections.
Source [4]: Lists previous themes/locations (house, asylum, witch coven, freak show, hotel, farmhouse, cult, apocalypse, summer camp).
Source [5]: Korean description of Season 1.
Overview:
Subject: Season 12.
Protagonist: Anna Victoria Alcott (actress).
Plot: She wants to start a family after multiple failed IVF attempts. As her recent film gains buzz, she begins to fear that something is targeting her and her pursuit of motherhood.
Word count check: The synopsis is very short (approx 40 words). The constraint requires 160-220 words.
Problem: I cannot invent facts to reach the word count. If the provided text is insufficient to meet the word count without inventing facts, I must be careful. However, the prompt says "Write ONLY verifiable facts that are explicitly supported by the provided SYNOPSIS and SOURCES." If I cannot reach 160 words without inventing facts, I have a conflict.
Let's re-read: "If a detail is not in the provided material, you omit it rather than guess."
If I strictly follow "omit rather than guess," I cannot reach 160 words.
However, usually in these prompts, the user expects the output to meet the length constraint. But the "ONLY verifiable facts" instruction is the primary directive for an archivist.
