The present paper explores an evolutionary solution to the task of building a story that combines more than one plot line into a single linear discourse. This requires: a set of knowledge resources that capture the main features that influence the decisions involved, a representation suitable for evolutionary treatment for discourses with several plot lines, and a set of fitness functions based on metrics related to the quality of the resulting discourses. The proposed solution produces populations of stories with elaborate discourses that combine several subplots.}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-03789-4_5}, url = {https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-031-03789-4_5}, attachments = {http://nil.fdi.ucm.es/sites/default/files/Gervas_0.pdf}, author = {Pablo Gerv{\'a}s and Eugenio Concepci{\'o}n and Gonzalo M{\'e}ndez} }
