Talk:Midnight Tides

I'm going to have a go at writing a summary...

- Sir Thursday

Good job. Unfortunately all the MBF pages seem to be getting hit with warnings about their plot summaries being too long. Not too sure why when the summaries for other book series are of a similar nature. OTOH, the Wheel of Time pages have very compact plot summaries. Maybe we should be aiming for something similar? Just hitting the 'beats' of the storyline without detailing every single minor plot element? I know this will be difficult due to the complexity of MBF, but it's something we'll have to look at.--Werthead 23:55, 17 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I've shortened this up a fair bit, and while its not compact, it removes a lot of extraneous details and leaves a few plot hooks open for the reader to be caught on. While I doubt this is sufficient, its a step in the right direction. I'll see what work I can do on the other MBF books over the next week or so. I doubt this will get us all the way, but IMO, its a step in the right direction. Having examined some other book overviews and the like, it might be best to break the plot up into individual segments and thus get rid of the warning. Kedlav 10:57, 28 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
