Talk:Authorial intent

That second-to-last paragraph seems a little funny. --74.41.68.106 19:10, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

Man, I'm gonna HAVE to add something about the Star Drive/Nemesis thing. Because hooboy, the ridiculous. -hx 20:28, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

Aheh. Hm. Should probably note TFU Longhorn... --M Sipher 19:23, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

Whot abooot 'im? (I'm blanking.) -Derik 19:33, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

According to author intent (Dan Khanna), he's a new form for Ramulus. --ItsWalky 20:03, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

Oh hey, nice to know! He's a cipher, so I suppose that author intent informs our read of this blank area of continuity.

How do we handle that? *looks* Yeah, that's about right. Could stand to be more enthusiastic (or at least informative) about the subject... Thanks Walky!

(So I take it I'm completely misremembering Torca being named Deathblow his original color scheme? Does anyone have a scan of those promo material for a trivia note about the color scheme on Torca page then? I have the Torca toy- I can photograph that for his toys section...) -Derik 20:15, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

Author intent.

Authorial? I think you just made that word up. (kidding!) Its not like it is a sentence. "Author intent" is like a compound word. Maybe "author-intent" would be more technically correct. - Starfield 18:53, 4 May 2009 (EDT)

Apparently the actual term is "Authorial intentionality", just to be totally convoluted. --Jeysie 19:06, 4 May 2009 (EDT)

Even in the context of that Wikipedia article, they use the phrase in different tenses - "Authorial intent" is used in the first sentence of the "Literary theory" section (and "Authorial intention" is also used lower down). It's a perfectly valid phrase. Whereas "author" is not an adjective, and the article at no point uses it as an adjective - the adjectival form is "authorial" [It *does* use "author's intent", which I gave as another alternative, but discarded because unnecessary punctuation marks in titles should be avoided - for the apostophe specifically, anyone editing in M$ Word without altering the default setting would have it turned into a "rich text" equivalent, which would break links to the page; and if there's any more database glitches (allspark forfend), the single quotation mark/apostophe is one of the characters that needs "escaped" with a backslash by a lot of stuff where it's a reserved character, and that caused some problems in the last recovery with pages being uploaded to "example\'s"-type places. - SanityOrMadness 19:52, 4 May 2009 (EDT)
