There comes a time in every Storybook where you have a decision on what your Storybook's plotline should be. There's some Storybooks that omits this part altogether.
So, what exactly is School Storybook Syndrome?
Well, the School Storybook Syndrome, or SSS for short, is a situation that involves a Storybook about a high school, where the only thing happening is high schoolers interacting with each other and no plot involvement was included.
What does this have to do with plot?
SSS is what I like to call a perfect example of character interaction Storybooks, but lacking any plot development. Now, while character interaction is good, don't get me wrong, plot development is needed just as much.
How do I know if my Storybook is an example of SSS?
Again, this is just an example, and if yours is like this, than I mean no disrespect. However, to make sure that yours is not following the format of SSS, than have some plot development in your Storybook.
What if I have too much of plot development and not enough character interaction, or vice versa?
This is a delicate balance, and should be treated as such. Being a Storybook, there is naturally (or should be) a lot of collaboration between characters, and character interaction. However, a driven plot should be as important as character interaction. If you feel there is not as much of either variable happening, make sure to talk to the other Storybookers. Communication is important for both character involvement and plot driving.
