The title of the thread says it all. This will be the start of an ongoing discussion regarding narrative techniques. Thoughts? Experience? Recommendations? While the poll question asks which style do you like, you can comment on the styles you don’t like.
I do admit that I did run out of poll answers so here is the rest of them:
-Frame Story (Story Within A Story)
-Framing Device
-In Medias Res
-Narrative Hook
-Ochi
-Plot Twist
-Poetic Justice
-Predestination Paradox
-Red Herring
-Self-Fulfilling Prophecy
-Hypodiegesis (Story Within Another Story)
-Ticking Time Bomb Scenario
-Unreliable Narrator
If by any chance you don’t understand any of these techniques in the poll and in my post, please see this list:
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_narrative_techniques
To start off this discussion on Narrative Techniques, I will begin with an open ended question:
Seeing the list, and how Setting is the only technique in its own category, have any of you ever encountered or written a story without a setting? What are your thought about this?
Edit: I forgot to mention that my favorite narrative technique is Editorial Omniscient.
