The Relationships between Concerns in Different Domains? Genre?

So weird, I could have sworn I’ve written an article about this, but can’t find it anywhere! I know I have slides for the Workshops I used to lead where I went through them and the percentages of the storyform but I guess I’ve never really published them yet. I’ll put it on the list for articles after the current series I’m on.

In the meantime, listen to @Audz, she’s basically knocking every answer out of the park lately :slight_smile:

I found an article that sort of refers to what you’re talking about:

Writers Who Write the Same Main Character

In short:

  • Upper Left: “Heavy” thrillers and suspense like all of Nolan’s films, Sixth Sense, and Usual Suspects (matches Mass)
  • Upper Right “Boy” films, Pixar, Star Wars (matches Ability)
  • Lower Left mid to late 20th century and rom/com, “Girl” films (matches Desire)
  • Lower Right foreign and early 21st century (matches Thought or Energy)

Found the slides. The breakdown same order is:

  • K = 23%
  • A = 23%
  • D = 37%
  • T = 12%

I suspect the numbers will shift in favor of the last as we move through 2040.
