	...I really don't think Guzzle's IDW section here is an example of over-writing. He's got, what, five issues, a short story, and an profile to his name, versus the seven-or-so issues he appeared in Marvel? (Counting each half-length Marvel story as half an issue.) That's not really that crazy unbalanced, no, especially given how much more happens to Guzzle in IDW. His adventures in Marvel were not nearly as character-driven. --[[User:ItsWalky\|ItsWalky]] 00:49, 24 May 2011 (EDT)		...I really don't think Guzzle's IDW section here is an example of over-writing.

			:Look at the part detailing issue 1 of LSoW. Those last three lines are overly detailed and not necessary. "Appeared concerned" would be a noteworthy detail if he hardly ever showed a nice face, but that's not the case. It's not so much as that there is too much as that it's written in detail that goes nowhere. And... I really dislike how the section looks, what with all those mini-paragraphs. Surely Guzzle's appearances are consistent enough that they can be fused into bigger paragraphs that make the section look more appealing to read?

	Some fiction write-ups being overlong and overdetailed is a common problem caused by writing the article as the fiction is being produced. It means it's written in fits and starts, with the writer doing a detailed summing up on one set of 22 pages, or one set of 22 minutes every week, and then just bundling the next set of 22 on the next month/week, with no forward thought as to how ''huge'' it will make the article in the future. Look, for instance, at just about any ''Animated'' character's cartoon write-up. They tend toward summing up everything a character does in every episode, even if it's just casually expressing an opinion about something. It just happens because it's new fiction. Comparatively, when one writes up a work of fiction that is already ''complete'' - like the G1 cartoon or Marvel comics, say, the approach is often to be a bit more general (although those often wind up very big too purely because of the size of the fiction involved!). - [[User:Chris McFeely\|Chris McFeely]] 12:18, 23 May 2011 (EDT)		Some fiction write-ups being overlong and overdetailed is a common problem caused by writing the article as the fiction is being produced.
