Actually, it isn’t. I did my best and, then, noticed that there isn’t a story form for Civil War in the Analysis section, so I was trying to check my results against the experts’. Your reply, though, is really rude and, frankly, hurtful. If the story form is that bad, constructive criticism would have been a positive contribution.

It’s less about criticism and more that Civil War has been discussed a LOT on this forum. Pretty much every aspect has been picked apart, as well as debating a bunch of different storyforms. A quick search will lead you to:




As well as a number of Narrative First articles and a couple of podcasts. And there’s a storyform already in the Narrative First Subtext app (more up-to-date than the Dramatica site).
