Default Designing worlds for Sci-Fi / Fantasy

I just thought that with the collective wisdom here, then those of us who fancy themselves as writers, or those who think someone has made a booboo could come here to see if the world designed has any flaws in it's conception. I.e. it could not exist or would not be stable.

As for mine

The world would be an inhabited world with higher order life forms, orbiting a binary star system, which consists of two main sequence stars. (Sort of like Tatooine from the original 1979 Star Wars.) The planet would also have four small moons.

Would such a system be stable, and able to support life?
What would tides be like? Assume the moons have different orbit times.

If all the moons were to line up on the same side, would that be a problem
