    I remember once arguing in film school that stories DON’T have to be based on conflict and NO ONE agreed. I was thinking about my experiences in improv comedy, wherein sometimes the glory of the story is seeing connections being made step by step. Building instead of conflict.https://twitter.com/ZacBeThompson/status/1263224698420117504 …

        In practice, there’s conflict in virtually every story I write. Characters struggling to achieve or do something forms the basis of every scene I write. But I like the way Le Guin’s challenging us to think beyond the simplest version of conflict with two people clashing.

        I think all the time about the scene in KIKI’S DELIVERY SERVICE where she’s got the flu and is just lying in bed. Sure, there’s conflict there - she’s struggling to find her own center and motivation. But it’s not traditional conflict between two characters. And it’s FANTASTIC.

        I work primarily in genre fiction where conflict is HUGE and front and center. But to make my characters live and breathe, I’m always looking for those tiny, quiet moments where characters reveal themselves in deeply human ways.

        There's conflict in Apollo 13 in a way I think works similar to an improv game. But I don't think I ever thought of that film or any great Harold I ever saw as having conflict.

        I prefer fanfiction to ‘actual’ fiction, because while just being fanfiction, it’s regarded by some as an entirely different genre. It portrays the mundane aspects of lives and finds beauty in those, without conflicts always being the centre focus (though that happens too)

        Agreed a lot. Also, I have always loved stories of exploration and scientific discovery, and conflict is often not the best sense through which to view them.

        In theatre school we talked about 3 kinds of conflict: - Person v Person - Person v Nature - Person v Self For me, the 3rd is the most essential. I like characters who can't approach a goal w/o confronting a fear, or avoid a fear w/o abandoning a goal.
