Hello,
Do you know what has happened to all the resources on the site?
I loved it.

Hi there, thanks for bringing this up.
You’re right—the original analyses were removed when I made the new Dramatica platform the primary home for the Storyform library. Looking back, I think that also removed an important part of Dramatica’s public history. I’m exploring bringing the full written analyses back as a free archive, while keeping the platform as the place for the current and canonical Storyforms, comparison tools, and interactive story development. Part of the issue too is that we’ve updated some of the terminology and the algorithms that determined plot progression have also been updated.
As with making Dramatica Essentials now possible, bringing these back in an updated form is now do-able thanks to my army of robots.

In the meantime, many of the originals can still be found through the Wayback Machine.
Well that was quicker than I thought!
The originals are back up there, though i haven’t had time to run through them and update with new terminology etc.
Let me know what you think and thanks again.
Hi,
Many thanks a lot for your reply.
Unfortunately, I couldn’t find that one
https://dramatica.com/analysis/the-fugitive
Has it been removed permanently?
I have also tried Wayback Machine on archive.org without success.
Went back and added the full compliment (86 articles in total!) BUT I don’t see one for The Fugitive and I’m not even sure I remember one on the original Dramatica site.
I know I wrote one on Narrative First, (When a Situation Isn’t a Situation) but I’m not sure if that’s what you were looking for.
@Seener try this: The Fugitive - Analysis - Dramatica (Wayback machine link)
Ahh yes - those analyses are the old Storyforms from the original application.
The reason we didn’t include them in the new update is that several of them have changed and have been updated with either the new algorithms or a better understanding of the film’s underlying narrative structure. My linked article above for The Fugitive addresses this disparity.
The new (yes, several years old now but you know what I mean
) storyform is amazing! I’d read that article before, but I guess I never went to the trouble of looking at all the story points it implied. Learning (gathering information) for Kimble, Conceiving for the IC Concern, the RS Issue of Reappraisal and Problem of Evaluation… (On top of all the stuff you mentioned in the article.)
Wow.
This is what I was looking for.
Thanks a lot!
