Re: Opinions, Questions, and Hunches on Dramatica Theory

For those thinking the above diatribe "devastating" or somehow indicative of Dramatica's failure to hold up to scrutiny, I took the time to address each and every point in my series of articles, The Science Behind Dramatica: https://narrativefirst.com/articles/series/the-science-behind-dra...

New Dramatica Community on G+

For those unaware, there is a new Dramatica Community over on Google+, you can find it at this easy to remember URL: https://plus.google.com/communities/113065480192063652085 For those missing a "Convore"-like discussion group feature, I believe this is it. You do have to have a Google acc...

Re: So why not use this forum?

Sorry you feel that way Jeff. I'm very passionate about Dramatica and making the resources concerning it as powerful and as modern as they can be. That's the reason I started the Convore discussion group, the HipChat forum, the DramaticaQuery site and most recently the push for Dramatica on Google+....

Melanie, one of the co-creators of the theory, posts frequently there and I know there are quite a few experienced users that would be happy to have you ask questions/circle them. The Dramatica page on Google+: https:/...

Re: Main vs Impact Throughline

Ruse -- I would try to not to over think things too much. There is a tendency when one first gets into Dramatica to gain complete mastery as soon as possible. I get that -- it's exciting stuff -- but most of the mastery will come with years of practice and implementation within your own writing. The...

Re: When will next update of Dramatica Pro be available?

Quicken - a major financial application for many - wasn't updated in time either. Lion is great so far, but I wished I had waited off on installing this first version - still feels like there are some big things they need to fix.

Re: When will next update of Dramatica Pro be available?

Apple made it clear they were dropping support for PowerPC apps at the beginning of the year. Your only solution now is a dual boot option.

Re: Unique Ability of "Fate" example?

Chris will probably deliver a knockout example of both, but in the meantime, don't forget that the Unique Ability and Critical Flaw can be attributed to the character as well - they don't always have to be traits intrinsic to the character. They just serve as a means to tie the Main Character and In...

Re: When will next update of Dramatica Pro be available?

The problem with pluralizing the terms as you suggest is that often, when someone says there are more than three major characters, they have more than one story going on.
