It could be a mystery or thriller story. These genres often have complex and interwoven plot points that keep you guessing, much like a crossword puzzle.
A historical drama can have such a story. It combines political intrigues, personal dramas, and social changes, resulting in numerous plot points that are as challenging to piece together as a crossword.
A story with many plot points spun out in a crossword-like manner is usually rich and elaborate. It's as if you're solving a difficult crossword, constantly uncovering new elements and connections.
Possibly, the clue could be 'convoluted story elements' which suggests a story having many interwoven and perhaps confusing plot points.
Well, fanfiction that isn't crossword-like typically doesn't involve the challenge of fitting words into specific spaces or following a strict grid pattern. Instead, it focuses on character development and plot progression in a more narrative style.
It varies a lot. Some novels might have just a few major plot points, while others could have many interwoven ones. There's no set number.
Well, there's no fixed number. It depends on the genre, the author's style, and the complexity of the story. A simple romance novel might have fewer plot points compared to a complex fantasy epic.
Well, one way is to introduce multiple characters with their own subplots. That can create a web of interrelated events and keep the story complex and engaging.
One essential plot point is the initial situation or status quo. It gives the reader an understanding of how things are before any change occurs. Another is the conflict, which can be internal or external. In 'To Kill a Mockingbird', the external conflict of the trial is a significant plot point. And the resolution at the end, which shows how the story concludes, is also vital. It answers all the questions raised during the story.
A good story often has an interesting inciting incident. For example, in 'The Hunger Games', the reaping where Katniss' sister is chosen is the inciting incident that sets the whole adventure in motion. Then there's the rising action, like Katniss' training and her forming alliances in the arena. The climax could be the final showdown in the arena. And the falling action and resolution come as she survives and returns home, with some changes in her society starting to occur.
It really depends on the genre and length of the novel. Some novels might have just a few key plot points, while others could have many. There's no fixed number.
Another interesting plot point is when Harry starts to learn to fly with his wings. It's different from using a broomstick. He has to figure out the mechanics of flapping his wings and how to steer in the air. This often leads to some really exciting flying scenes in the fanfiction.
