| | The Well-Tempered Plot Device: Nick Lowe |
| | Up until very recently, really elaborate plotting has only been possible in comedy, where you don't mind being reminded of the existence of an author by the absurd artificiality of the structure of events. | | | Probably the most distinguished practitioner of collect-the-coupons plotting is Susan Cooper in those awful The Dark Is Rising books, in the course of which the hapless goodies have to run down no fewer than nine different plot tokens before they can send off to the author for the ending. | | | But actually, it's not always necessary for the author to put in an appearance himself, if only he can smuggle the Plot itself into the story disguised as one of the characters. |

| | However, it may not really be very possible to have magic that works like it does in novels, because magic is often merely a plot device that is either inconsistent, or too poorly detailed to tell if it's consistent or not. | | | As far as plot device magic goes - I've (over?)used human sacrifice and demonic pacts as material components for plot magic. |

| | Luna Lovegood: Key Player, Plot Device Princess - Chamber of Secrets |
| | As was said previously, she got to the story late, and to be a plot twister, I think, a certain character must first be established, clearly and (almost) completely. | | | So if this happens, a lot of spaces in the next book will be devoted to her and her story (I hope for this) to explain away her situation and behavior. | | | BUT, although I love Luna, I just don't think that she'll be a big mover or twister (at least not obviously) in the whole story. |

| | Recycling Bin 80 - The Plot Device That Ate Comics (Feb 2003) |
| | And this method, benign in original context, provided a plot device that would seed some twenty-and-more stories in Justice League of America alone between 1963 and 1985; but, too, with time would become the source of a growing set of problems for writers attempting to streamline and connect an ever-growing canon of tales. | | | Their mention here does not represent a challenge to existing intellectual rights. | | | What the Plot Device ate remains, for some portion of surviving comics readership, the reward he seeks with his reading; the reprint market attests to the difference before and after. |

| | Deathtrap (plot device) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | A deathtrap is a literary and dramatic plot device in which a villain, who has captured the hero or another sympathetic character, attempts to use an elaborate and usually sadistic method of murdering him/her. | | | Villains may also give away details of their evil plots, on the rationale that the victim will die immediately. | | | This speech, given when the villain could have just killed the victim in a matter of seconds, is invariably used to give another character time to come in and save the victim, or for the victim to escape. |

| | Unicron: Character or Plot Device? |
| | Unfortunately, Unicron did very little before his starring appearance aside from plucking Galvatron from the future and doing a lot of evil foreshadowing (to say nothing of his role in the movie adaptation, which nicely mirrors the non-character from the theatrical version). | | | Primus, then, was little more than a plot device himself. | | | The main difference, of course, is that Unicron was aware of the existence of the Matrix, and made its destruction his secondary objective.) It's interesting that Unicron was portrayed as being so powerful that the Transformers themselves, the heroes of the story, were incapable of destroying him without a magic talisman. |

| | Plot device - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | A plot device is a person or an object introduced to a story to affect or advance the plot. | | | In the hands of a skilled writer, the reader or viewer will not notice that the device is a construction of the author—it will seem to follow naturally from the setting or characters in the story. | | | A poorly-written story, on the other hand, may have such awkward or contrived plot devices that the reader has serious trouble maintaining suspension of disbelief; indeed, the devices may even leave plot holes. |
