I've heard somewhere that there are only so many plots for stories. On the Hidden Fortress DVD George Lucas talks about how there is a theory among some writers that there are only about 32 plots, and when you write a story you pretty much just do a variarion on one of those plots.
Does anyone know what I'm talking about? Or have a link to an essay or article that discusses this idea? I was wondering who came up with the idea or if it was a collaboration type thing.
