| + | ## Implementation of the Structure | ||
| + | |||
| + | The "main story" of Glider Ink resolves about a conflict in the 'Space community, especially between the five main characters. There is a reason for a tension - and an alliance - between each of them, and there are too many differences to pick clear "sides". The final stake is not anyone being "right", but rather the integrity - and continued existence - of the 'Space as a community. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Spoiler: according to the [themes](project:themes) this story should convey _hope_, so they will find a way to make it work. Not without changing themselves - and their relations to each other - the main five should be represented as three-dimensional characters. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Each character gets their own chapter, which mirrors the overall five-act structure describing a problem specific to them and their [archetypes](characters:archetypes). | ||
| + | |||
| + | 1. **Exposition** - [Suzanne](characters:main:suzanne) can introduce the readers to the 'Space by showing them why formal education isn't enough when someone wants to build something of their very own. With her impostor syndrome and problems with sexism at the University she can find refuge among other hackers, showcasing the meritocracy that is a goal of many 'Spaces. | ||
| + | 2. **Inciting Incident / Rising Action** - [Cynic](characters:main:c_n1c) stands as an example of the conflict between tech-oriented and education/community-oriented members. Together with [Adam](characters:main:adam) they take part in a [CTF](https://ctftime.org/ctf-wtf/), while [Suzanne](characters:main:suzanne) and [Robert](characters:main:robert) want to conduct an electronic / robotics workshop for 10-year-olds. | ||
| + | 3. **Climax** - either [Adam](characters:main:adam) or [Amanda](characters:main:amanda) | ||
| + | 4. **Falling Action** - either [Adam](characters:main:adam) or [Amanda](characters:main:amanda) | ||
| + | 5. **Resolution / Dénouement** - [Robert](characters:main:robert) | ||
| + | |||
| + | ## Structure of the chapter | ||
| + | |||
| + | A little more detailed that the overall story structure, again from [John Yorke's Into The Woods](http://www.overlookpress.com/into-the-woods.html). | ||
