Anger that the authors of Dramatica aren brilliant writers, nor do they have any advanced degrees. Why should they be the ones to have discovered something so useful?
9) Different + unfamiliar = bad. Dramatica deals with structure at a very deep level, one that is unfamiliar to writers that don’t have a classical education in narrative structure. It’s just so different from the way most writers have been self-taught about writing. 10) Dramatica has some special vocabulary terms, and that offends some writers who believe that there is nothing new that can be added on the subject of story. 11) Fear that Dramatica, being one of the most complete models of story, is trying to supplant the good work of other writing gurus, narratologists, writing teachers and writing structure systems. (Actually, we believe Dramatica can coexist with most other writing paradigms).
