Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer (the Grand Argument Story)
Posted: Nov 16, 2011 4:17 pm
Hey everybody I have an idea and I would like you to join me over at:
http://groups.google.com/group/dramaticatheory
Here is my concept for the thread. For fun and edification I would
like to agree on a story form for this story ( here is a link to the
1964 Stop Animation TV special fan site - http://msmindy.com/rudolph/index.shtml
). I am not interested in arguing whether this is a tale or a fully
developed story. I want to agree on the best (or even good enough)
storyform and then take it all the way through the process of filling
in all the story points. I am particularly interested in filling in
Story Points that the TV special does not illustrate or illustrate
well and, in so doing, create a Grand Argument Story. Yes this heads
into the realm of Fan Fiction I suppose but I think it will be a very
useful process (and hopefully fun). I am also interested in aligning
the cast of characters (http://msmindy.com/rudolph/characters.shtml)
into the dramatica archetypes (or character elements, complicated or
not)
The full Video is available at:

My plan is to start this thread event Thanksgiving day.
Any thoughts? All are welcome.

Here is a link to my original idea I had here last year. My story form is just an idea and not the final storyform.
