| Aug 26, 2011 at 14:59 | comment | added | FumbleFingers | Apart from my comment to OP about modifying plot twist with arbitrary/unexplained/unconvincing to signify a negative opinion of some instance of the plot device, I see nothing further you could reasonably add. Anyway, I've upvoted now and deleted my earlier comment. | |
| Aug 26, 2011 at 7:07 | comment | added | user10893 | @fumble: Done. If you have other comments on how to improve I'm open | |

| Aug 25, 2011 at 23:47 | comment | added | Maxpm | To me, these words imply a larger scale than what I'm looking for. I've edited the question with an example. | |
| Aug 25, 2011 at 23:42 | comment | added | user10893 | True--tragedy is more of "misfortune" while catastrophe is "overwhelmingly horrible misfortune" | |
| Aug 25, 2011 at 23:41 | comment | added | Jeremy | I think "tragedy" or "sudden tragedy" is perfect. Catastrophe implies that it is necessarily an extremely severe negative event, which isn't required by the question. | |
