	Burning Void--Plot Twists for Game Masters
		Plot twists are probably the major way to keep roleplaying plots fresh, exciting, and unpredictable.
		Also remember to go back and fill in any plot holes the new twists create--this is why it's a good idea to pick your plot twists early on when creating your adventure.
		The plot the characters think they're working on can turn out to be a different plot entirely, or you can add a new plot onto the group's responsibilities.

	Musings and Mental Meanderings » Blog Archive » The paradox of plot twists (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Plot twists are also unexpected in that they reveal as true an option you had not even considered.
		Since plot twists can not come from the rules (for reasons I think are obvious, but which I am still hoping to explore in a later article), one of the audience members must be the source.
		The end result of all this is that good plot twists come from good procedures for generating material combined with a set of skills that are not often associated with roleplaying.

	Burning Void--Plot Twists for Stargate SG-1 Adventures
		I posted an article on plot twists that includes resources (web sites and books) as well as a genericized randomized chart of plot twists for those times when you need some inspiration.
		I also think a good list of plot twists should be ever-changing--add new twists you think up, remove ones that are getting stale, lower the probability of a twist you've used once but could potentially still get some mileage out of, and so on.
		Many plot twists also represent a range of possibilities, so you might simply cross off that specific possibility but leave the generic twist on the list.

	Dan Heller's Photos/Pictures of Movie Plot Twists: An Analysis
		There seems to be a disturbing trend in the "surprise-ending" tactics used by certain mystery/thriller movie-makers these days: they build a story line around the psychological objectives of the main characters, but then surprise the audience with a logically-acceptable plot twist that abandons (or violates) the characters' original objectives.
		While movie audiences are filling theaters and movie rentals houses to watch suspense films for the fun-filled about-face turn-around at the end, the method that the filmmakers are using to tickle the audience is based on a short-sighted formula that may not have legs if not done more carefully.
		Here, Scott's character loses his family in a car accident, and when he moves into a house that happens to be haunted, he slowly discovers its ghost is a young boy who could identify with Scott's character's plight, and the two help each other with their objectives.

	Playing it Straight With Plot Twists
		While it is possible to treat your plot mechanically on some levels, plot twists have to arise out of your characters's lives in order to be effective.
		A plot twist that simply changes the direction in which a character's life is going can be effective, but the really moving plot twists also change the way the character looks at the world.
		But perhaps the easiest approach is to treat your plot twists as if they were the revelation of the killer at the end of a mystery.

	Oliver Twist
		The illustrations for Oliver Twist by George Cruikshank (1792-1878) are thought by many to be some of the finest for any Dickens novel.
		In 1872, two years after Dickens' death, Cruikshank claimed that the plot and many of the characters from Oliver Twist had been his idea, a claim which Dickens' friend and biographer, John Forster, vehemently denied.

	Twist ending - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A "twist ending" or "surprise ending" is an unexpected conclusion or climax to a work of fiction, which may contain an irony, or cause the audience to reevaluate the rest of the story.
		A misdirection is similar in meaning to the red herring: the writer uses both to distract the protagonist, and by extension the reader, away from the correct answer.
		However, she has retained the overall plot structure centering around an important mystery, throughout the book planting subtle (often completely innocuous) clues, which she reveals (always in a twist ending) at or after the climax.

	Oliver Twist
		Moreover, when the familiar Oliver Twist plot takes hold in the second installment of this six-hour "Masterpiece Theatre" presentation, the backstory is kept alive by combining the screenwriter’s newly fleshed-out characters with Dickens’ central story line.
		The inheritance plot that unspools late in the novel is little more than the kind of conventional third-act denouement that was well-worn even in 1838.
		The role of Oliver Twist -- which admittedly is a flattened symbolic character to begin with -- barely registers, played with angelic passivity by child actor Sam Smith.

	THE MYSTERY READER reviews: Plot Twist by Jane Rubino
		While Rubino’s many characters and their movie star counterparts may be initially confusing, Plot Twist quickly finds its pace, smoothes out into a captivating story and leads you unsuspectingly into a wallop of a finish.
		In a gruesome twist of Art imitating Life, he is shot and killed during the scene with Tommi Ann watching, just as his true-life counterpart was shot and killed in front of Cat.
		Plot Twist spoofs the fantasy of the movie world, making you forget for a moment that it is also a work of fiction.

	Plot twists, character development falls apart in ‘Derailed’
		Don’t get me wrong, I love a good mind-bending surprise in a movie as much as anyone, but so many current screenplays are filled with one illogical plot twist after the other, and the result typically ruins the movie.
		Screenwriter Stuart Beattie (who also wrote the solid thriller “Collateral”) must have forgotten the first rule of plot twists when he was writing the script—the twist has to actually surprise the audience.
		By the time Charles figures out what I knew right away, he decides to take action, resulting in a ridiculous shoot-out that feels like the ending to the movie, but it isn’t because the writer felt the need to tack on another stupid plot twist that is anti-climactic.
