Happy Thursday, squiders! It’s time to be pedantic and weird, i.e., my favorite time. So, what is a master plot? Also called a story or plot archetype, it’s the idea that all the stories ever conceived of, and all the
Introducing the Master Plot Series
It’s time for our summer series, squiders! This year, once a week, we’ll be looking at “master plots.” What is a master plot, you might ask? Well, according to some people, there’s only so many plots in the world, and
