About how the "summaries" are written

About how the "summaries" are written

I don't get the point of why the plot recaps are written in the style of writing fiction. The whole point is just to have a review of the events that happen during the main story.

I won't really say it's a summary. It's not a shortening of everything that happens, and I'm pretty sure it's supposed to explore significant plot points in more detail. (Though, the same points are sometimes unclear, and are skirted around...(that might just be me though.))

Besides which, its original point is to write the whole thing in fiction mode. Unusual for a wiki, I suppose, but one major point in the wiki is presentability for its readers. Otherwise I think this could get turned into blocks of text similar to those enchant scroll templates, which only editors really go into...and at the same time, it would make it so similar to the generation walkthroughs, which sort of nullifies this page's existence.

Personally, I'm hoping to get away from an adult book style that keeps its readers reading only through their own desire to read, and more into a children's book that hooks people in and keeps them there. Again with the point of presentability, I don't really want to scare curious spoiler-seekers away before they get a chance to actually look at the contents and find them interesting and amusing to stroll through. (It'll be a long while before that happens, though.)
