That would be the first rule I’m breaking…yes. :D Guessing you’ll like this one, then.

Good luck with C! Oh, and I'm reading The Ruby Key as a Reward Book for finishing the first draft of my MS... I love it so far, and was especially pleased when I noticed the beautiful blue ink on the INSIDE of the book too!

Interesting stuff. And his "genres" are a great way of discovering the kinds of stories that resonate with you. I'm all about "Dude With a Problem" and the "Whydunit." :) I’ve read Save the Cat, too.

I hope that includes "the status quo must always be restored / maintained by the end of the story." I absolutely loathe that one and hate how almost all time travel stories follow it. The only exceptions I can think of off the top of my head are the advanced holo projector for the doctor on startrek voyager and time cop. The latter only counts marginally, as one can argue that the original time line, which happened before the movie started, was restored. “It knowingly breaks some very specific and nearly universal rules of time travel stories.”
