I never discover any plot holes because I am stupid. - 02/06/06 8:38:33 AM MST

plot is what keeps the story moving - 06/09/02 7:15:39 PM MST

A good story needs conflict, whether internal or external. There's only so much internal conflict I can take before I write off both Lois and Clark as too stupid to live ;) - 06/01/02 8:36:56 PM MST

Besides, shared adversity is a good kicker *for* (character) development - 05/30/02 8:12:49 AM MST

An A-plot provides balance to a longer story (and if you're doing it, do it right!) Besides, shared adversity is a good kicker (character) development - 05/30/02 8:11:21 AM MST

I really don't need an A-plot, but if there is one, it better be interesting. - 05/29/02 3:52:09 PM MST

Actually I think that all long stories must have A-plots. It's the A-plots that give rise to possible development of B-plots. - 05/29/02 2:43:19 AM MST

I'd always had the impression a-plots weren't of interest - nice to see such a healthy percentage prove me wrong! Encouraging! - 05/26/02 5:32:55 AM MST

i love lois and clark - 05/22/02 8:17:19 PM MST

what the hell is an A-plot? - 05/22/02 8:16:26 PM MST

I don't *need* an A-plot, even in a longer story, to hold my interest. Just look at LabRat's Are You Lonesome Tonight, or Kathy and Demi's When Friends Become Lovers. But badly-worked A-plots irritate, because they take me out of the story. - 05/22/02 3:18:46 PM MST

If the story is a vignette or a super short, an A-plot really isn't necessary in my opinion. But longer stories definitely need an A-plot to sustain my interest. - 05/19/02 8:46:13 AM MST
