Writers resource tools.

I wanted to share this fantastic website I came across that contains a variety of different terms and plot tools that might give our new crop of fan-fic writers some excellent tools for their stories.

It includes examples of various plot devices and formats for different types of narratives and dialogues. It's primarily for TV and movies but they do have a lists of books (many Star Trek) and a breakdown of what devices and formats were used in each so they can easily be adapted to your individual style of storytelling. I can't tell you what a help it has been to me both personally and professionally when I write.

Enjoy :)

I hope this helps my writing. I have been struggling at remembering bits I wrote yesterday and keep having to go back through it. Thanks for the Find!

Also, if you're needing to make references to the Trek universe, and in particular if you're needing to reference the technology or specific episodes, http://memory-alpha.org is indispensable.

^^ That's true, I use Memory-Alpha and Memory Beta whenever I can't remember something clearly. It's very handy for Star Trek Info.

And thanks Jacien! Your link is very helpful!
