Writing people/Community fans/narrative theory buffs! If you want more background on Dan Hamron’s whole “story circle” structure for good character development (and, having now used it, I can confirm that it works pretty darn well), here’s a series of tutorials the man himself wrote about it:

• Story Structure 101: Super Basic Shit
• Story Structure 102: Pure, Boring Theory
• Story Structure 103: Let’s Simplify Before Moving On
• Story Structure 104: The Juicy Details

There’s more on the Channel 101 wiki that’s specific to TV writing, too. Fascinating, funny, useful stuff.
