the silence is stifling discussion, man

...I see an Editor in the making

but seriously, where is everybody?

ok, so this is kinda answering my own question here. http://marketingpr.suite101.com/article.cfm/storytelling_a_powerful_promotion_tool It's interesting how we can summarise the whole article into three simple words : the Grand Argument Story But, I'm guessing we'd all love to get some input from Ch...

hey all, i'm reading up the imdb Cloverfield faq, which has a bunch of links at the bottom, including some viral marketing stuff, like these; which are the MySpace blogs of the fictional characters : http://www.myspace.com/robbyhawkins http://www.myspace.com/beth_mcintyre http://www.myspace.com/marl...

I'm just wondering, how does a full-time staff writer hide the fact the one is using dramatica software? I'm particularly interested in what is the tv-writing industry's stand on using dramatica? Does dramatica have a positive or negative image?

I've always wanted to ask - how does a FT writer get by, financially? Especially with opportunities with writing on the web? Could you share with us what strategies do you use? I.e. what kinds of writing gigs brings in the dough?

...I guess, Trust your feelings, Luke, would be the most apt response? hee...

is anyone here a full-time writer? I mean, a stay-at-home, doesn't-bathe-unless-necessary-to-eat, type of writer?

Do you think JJ Abrams is a dramatica user? Could you spill it for us?

Really, cause I'mma noob.

so, that new Terminator film, no one was really sure if McGee could pull it off successfully. But pull if off he did. I liked how he managed to pull references from all the other 3 terminator films - heck the whole movie was a chock full of references to the earlier ones. Anyone knows more about the...

hi again,

In the thread starter's oringinal question, could we just have two storyforms (and hence two story goals) and storyweave them somehow? Would that work?

You sound like my kind of drinking buddY! (hic..) heheheh...

this will sound harcore, but I've downloaded all 38 chapters into my phone - are they as complete as the printed bookform?

PS I loved that you covered the how-to-use-propoganda in the DUG podcast of "Sicko"

hi Chris, I was watching this movie on tv last night, Joan of Arc (with Milla Jojovic in it). Here's the storyform I devised, using my Writer's Dreamkit 4.0. Please correct me where you see fit (by all means, I'm still a newbie) : - Main Character ============= Throughline : Situation Concern : The ...

Definition of a beat : I think you hit the jackpot man!

Seriously, you're the expert asking the newbie if one is correct? (embarrassed now ~_~)

Dear Chris,

could we work out how does music, wardrobe, & setting act like "fifth characters" in tv & movies?

I mean, have you seen the version of "The Merchant of Venice" with Al Pacino in it? EVERYTHING in it was gorgeous!

PS I must be dreaming, but did the 4 throughlines get re-named recently? I was playing around with the storyengine and I couldn't find my Action-Situation-Fixed Attitude-Manipulation throughlines anymore. Is there an auto-update thing going on?

hey Chris, you sure looked different from how i imagined you when i hear your voice in the podcasts! there's another thing about the chessboard-variation thingy - some elements keep re-appearing in different quads and in different combinations. Could you explain that, please? (btw, I'm kevin from th...
