Interesting question...
Apr. 8th, 2009 11:24 amI saw this article at io9.com asking "What's the difference between story and plot?" I'll admit, I'm tempted to agree with one of the commenters that this is some kind of social experiment to see who can get through the entire article without being distracted by the half-naked women in the graphics, lol, but as I read through the article, I did kind of find myself wondering what the difference is. My first instinct is to define plot as getting from point A to point B, and story as a broader concept, tied to theme, emotion and/or characters, but the more quotes I read from authors on the subject, the more confused the two concepts get. Thoughts?
