Do you mean plots for those that you will write yourself, or those for stories that have already been written? Thanks!

Thanks Mr Clough. While I am looking for plots for those that I will write myself, those for stories that have already been written will be educative and welcome. Thanks!

There are also the following sites that I would hope would be of some use to you.

Many thanks Mr Clough.
I have a few pieces written- some published in ezines and one in print mag. I was trying to send as attachment - couldn't because of size limitation; could not mail you as well.
