#WritersCoffeeClub Apr. 1: What arrangement of plots do you have? No plot? Only one? A main plot and a side plot? Something else?

New quarter; new thread! See the old one [here](https://tech.lgbt/@bluestarultor/116327159579001382 ).

The answer to that is, "I'm a pantser; whatever happens, happens." My latest WIP is a two-perspective tale where the leads take time to run into each other and even after they do, one is more active, while the other is a more cerebral type who observes the rest of the crew.

In contrast, Ethan is the center of his own universe as a third person limited protagonist. And the *Godskiller* crew are more or less treated as a party and only written on from the view within that party, despite people occasionally joining and leaving.

I think, honestly, writing so much for games makes me tend to lean into a "main plot + subplots" sort of structure where there's either a clear main character or there's an ensemble you follow and only rarely split up, just as convention.
