Today's Topic – The Vaulted topic

I have always thought very utilitarian about creating the architecture for my fantasy setting. What do the people have? What do the people need? What is important to the people?  However, I have come to the belief that I missed 2 very important considerations. Join Michael and Jeffery as they rethink architecture.

Today's Topic – Hallmark Christmas Movies are like a Romanic Fantasy Adventure, and no this in not a drinking game

I must admit something. I love Christmas movies. I have watched hours and hours of Hallmark Christmas movies. You might think they are horribly formulaic and they are. However, I have learned two very important lessons about them. They are great for learning structure for stories and they are … Fantasy movies.

This missed moment: Silly was used was not just because of Monty Python

1. Why I called them silly characters
2. Comedy has only come to mean everything that makes you laugh
3. The happy ending (Comedy) vs the sad ending (Tragedy)
4. Comedy verities can be used with characters or subplots resolutions to help pull back the tension from the main story you are trying to tell
5. Laughter is the most obvious way to counteract the tragic story tension building.
