This is just my thought, i have gone a conclusion due to my mind's spinning around as i look and read guides from my upcoming story in that i have realized something more, you see guides are supposed to be a guide in our journey as each thread is being held more and more to the story being progressed even though all the guides i read are all helpful but in my case there are no such thing as guides throughout your journey, the real guide is you which is why my head is spinning as i never get anything from it while i learned something from that, even though i have listed all the guides and personalities i need for the story there is just a thing it mostly need, which is inspiration and passion for it, no matter what kind of story as long as you love and like it very much while your passion is still burning up, you don't need guides for it (but i may changed my mind for the personalities and characters since it is a fan-made story) throughout your journey you just need support for it as your ideas come and go.
*This is my interpretation of a guide for myself*
