In school I was taught there were only 3 types of stories: The Heroes Journey, A Fall from Grace, and Expositional Narrative. Basically happy ending, unhappy ending, and a series of context-based events. Comedy and tragedy fall into the last category since Mr. Bean and Romeo and Juliet respectively can be seen as either depending on the context of the viewer.
Another excellent approach. Some say there are as many as 36 plots! It all seems to depend on how specifically one chooses to break them down and categorize them. Thank you for your comment!
@@rightbrainwriting I believe the 3-story diagram is based on psychology and math. You can either have an emotional upswing, downswing, or neutral investment in a story. Picture a diagram with 2 crossing lines and a sine wave in the middle. The lines represent up/down swing, and the sine wave represents the separate events in an expositional narrative peaking and troughing through funny/sad moments. These represent satisfying stories. If you had a story where the hero died halfway through and then a random character took over, that would be a line splitting at a 90 degree angle and would be emotionally unsatisfying.
For my story, I want to reinvent 3 Disney Princess Stories that take place in France. The 3 girls have their story on different points in the same timeline, and all join the same royal family. The Charming Family, as I like to call it.
My favourite ever story the mini story of he origin of the skull architect in the mech touch IS a mix between rebirth rags to riches and voyage and return.
That's certainly possible and perhaps even more surprising for the reader. Booker himself spoke of at least two more "plots" less definitively -- Mystery and Rebellion.
