📚 Dramatica, Demystified
Feel like Dramatica’s theory is a bit... dense? Narrova untangles it for you. Drawing from decades of insight—Dramatica.com, Storymind, Narrative First, forums, podcasts, and user groups—Narrova can explain the trickiest concepts in clear, actionable terms, right when you need them.
Example:
"Help me understand how to see the Relationship Story Throughline as a character."
Narrova draws from over 30 years of narrative theory to offer insight you can use immediately—no jargon goggles required.
✨ Guided Storyforming
Finding your story’s structure shouldn’t feel like solving a Rubik’s cube in the dark. Narrova gently walks you through the storyforming process, step-by-step, so you always feel focused and free. There’s no pressure to conform—just space to explore and understand.
Example:
"I’d like to write a short story in the vein of the movie Conclave but taking the Signposts of the MC Throughline only. Please explain the MC Throughline via these Signposts."
Narrova will teach you a bit about the MC Throughline while referencing the actual storyform of Conclave to give you real-world context and inspiration.
🚀 Storyforming Support
The Storyform isn’t the finish line—it’s where the real storytelling begins. Narrova offers a steady stream of suggestions, insights, and prompts designed to keep your story moving and your vision alive.
Examples:
"Show me the Progressions for Signpost 1 in the OS Throughline."
"Break down each Progression and explain how it works."
"Make sure the Story Drivers appear at the very end of each Act."
"List all the reveals in the story—moments where expectations are subverted."
"Identify the major plot point drivers and the four Signposts of the OS. Ensure the OS Problem anchors all plot points."
Narrova doesn’t just answer the prompt—it keeps everything aligned with your unique storyform.
