Everyone labeled a Dramatica Story Expert went through and passed the Dramatica Story Expert Certification program. The program requires an extensive storyform analysis and is run through @chuntley. An example of the kind of work expected can be found in @mlucas analysis of The Princess Bride.
When I mentioned in the other thread that Armando != Dramatica it was a reference to a statement by both that appeared contradictory in nature. Armando doesn’t have his own version of Dramatica in the way that some people do (as @MWollaeger pointed out). All of us have great respect for Armando – his “Instant Dramatica” was eye-opening back in the day.
My comment was in direct reference to an apparent difference in the way “Events” were being described. Complete storytelling and not really part of the theory. Plus, I got the impression that @GetSchwifty was a programmer, so I thought he’d appreciate the joke.
