Short Description

Come listen to Resa Nelson, Paul Tremblay, and Timothy Zahn discuss the relative roles of plot and characters in their stories.

Details

In science fiction and fantasy stories, how much does the plot drive the characters, and how much do the characters drive the plot? Hear our authors tell how unexpected directions in a character's development can affect their plot. Do they ever bend a character to fit a role which needs to be filled in the story?
