Vast Narrative August 27

From the “vast narratives” reading, I began to understand that there are specific and various ways that a story or narrative unfolds, reaching different complexities and deviating to different degrees. Some stories create an expansive network of plot points and characters that develop and are never undone, while other narratives see the characters return to default setting and their story starts over from that point. Cross media universes allow a narrative to spread across different realms and types of storytelling. A narrative may exist in formats that deviate from its original format, but the expanding story is still considered part of the original tale.
