Dramatica—Fiction Only?

QUESTION:

Is Dramatica only for fiction stories?

ANSWER:

Dramatica is primarily for fiction stories, though it can be used effectively for any form of discourse where the author is trying to make or argue a point. In addition to using Dramatica for traditional story forms such as novels, plays, and screenplays, we have quite a few people that use it for advertising, documentaries (those that take a position and argue that position), business strategies, and even personal problem solving.

Whatever the wide uses Dramatica may have, the help materials and the design of the software is to maximize its use for writing fiction stories.
