Talk:Robert Heinlein's Three Plots

From Guidevines

(tears hair) As in the Shakespeare plots, what are the other "et cetera" plots? Where did Heinlein lay out his three plots? That is, where did he write "These are the three plots I use/that exist ever/that sell at present"? This entry is considerable less than useful at present.

Alex: Thanks for the note. I agree about the usefulness at this point. Some of these (like this one) I originally put up quickly as stubs--which in quite a few other cases has encouraged visitors to fill in and expand entries--while I was focusing on other areas. This hasn't happened in this case, obviously. I'll expand this and other stub entries shortly, but IMO--as long as stubs (and not just ones that I put up) encourage participation and growth of the knowledge-base by casual visitors--I'll argue that a barebones entry is better than no entry. Perhaps stub entries should be clearly labeled as such, as they are in Wikipedia?
