Discussion

This was born from Repowers suggestion to get synopses for the multipath adventure books written up. The format is based on Rob's suggestions in the discussion at Talk:Dinobots Strike Back. Having written this up, I'd like to get some feedback on both the format of the synopsis as well as my writing. I fear that, as is, the synopsis is too detailed and long-winded. That same problem may hurt the format too, making it too difficult to discern. Thoughts? --Tigerpaw28 23:40, 10 April 2010 (EDT)

I kinda think that having it formatted in this way makes it difficult to get an overall feel for the story. It might improve things if it was less detailed, but it's hard to say.

One alternative method of presentation I've been thinking of trying is to write up one specific path through the book, as if it was one continuous story, then have a line along the lines of "Or maybe it happened this way:" and then do the same thing again, but taking a wildly different path through the book. The drawback to doing this would be that you lose the detail of all of the various endings. You could have a sub-branches section to detail them, perhaps. --abates 19:07, 11 April 2010 (EDT)
