Melanie is back (has been since the beginning of the year it seems) with a brand new website devoted to all things Dramatica, Dramaticapedia. As you can probably guess, the site appears to be an effort to match the breadth of Wikipedia with a focus on the most accurate model of story there is out there today.

At first glance, this article on Ability, seems to offer some new contemplation towards why Main Characters do the things they do:

Ability is not what you can do. It is what you are “able” to do. What’s the difference? What you “can” do is essentially your ability limited by your desire. Ability describes the maximum potential that might be accomplished. But people are limited by what they should do, what they feel obligated to do, and what they want to do. If you take all that into consideration, what’s left is what a person actually “can” do.

Expect to see the site linked here quite often over the next coming year.
