Unique Plots


How important is it that a story is unique? When you think about a story you've enjoyed and try to explain it to someone else, do you find their lack of enthusiasm frustrating? As you tell the story that impacted you so deeply--whether it was a book, TV series, movie, or even a story from a game--it seems to fall flat in the telling as you often realize the plot was not as profound or complex as you thought it was. When we really think about it, most plots have been used over and over again, and these days, a truly unique plot is a rare exception. Yet despite this, there are so many stories that still have a large impact upon a wide audience. Is the plot what makes a good story, or is it something else?
