Dear Jill,
Thanks very much for your message and general encouragement of the work on the applications of Pfister’s theory and computer-aided methods in our field. As you correctly pointed out, there are a number of people in our community (and I believe it is growing) who want to learn more, and use those methods in their screenwriting research and analysis.
In that regard, I believe your journal could play an important role in helping many people better understand possible benefits and of course, limitations of those methods. In practical terms, this could be accomplished by perhaps dedicating a special issue to the discussion of those topics. Clearly, somebody like Adam, who has already done a very substantial work in this area, and possibly Ronald--as well as some other people--could lead that discussion. I'm convinced our whole community will only benefit from it.
Sam
