Jim's site, StoryFanatic, is a website dedicated to investigating the wonderful world of story.  A long-time user of Dramatica, Jim wanted to explore why some stories work better than others.  Using the theory as a baseline, the articles on his site cover everything from story structure to analysis, and even a bit on the actual process of writing itself.  You can find an introduction to his site, here.
