I'm at 27k characters and I'm almost at the halfway point of the season.

It's. Dense.

wow

Wha

But I'm also not sure how much I really need to say.

Max Words

Are you summarizing each episode or something?

Not really? Just running through plot, since it's kind of a thing. Which I... probably don't need to do.

But if I go the other way and just summarize what's actually important to Yui, I'll probably be back down to just a couple paragraphs.

Literally, none of this involves Yui.

my joke was "can we just link to Salsa's summary for ours, its better than the wiki"

So... I'm torn.

Part of me really wants to pare this down to, y'know, times Yui talks for more than five words.

Actually.

I mean. I can appreciate your wordiness as much as anybody but I'd say 27k is pretty trimmable for a protagonist character

MOST of me wants to do that.

you should at least save it for posterity because that's kind of impressive

The last time I wrote a history section for a character, it was Rikka, and I apped her at half-season.

Good grief

Trim that shit

I thin, internally, I just knew I needed a rewatch, and took notes.

Lots and lots of notes.

And then figured "can I use this for a history section?"

Answer:

NO.

for an au game, they're going to be way more focused on personality and AU history

so you can trim that down by a lot

Right, and I do know that as well.

Just... I dunno. I feel silly looking at it now.

though I can hear you - I had to write some pretty long histories

either because there is no Wiki, or the Wiki is ESL and full of inaccurate fanon

We're somewhere between the two. There's a wiki, but there's. Basically nothing in it?

It's all three-paragraph plot summaries, limited character notes, and huge trivia and screenshot sections.

yeeah

(why is there shipping wank for a kid's show about alien frogs?)

.........

I don't even want to think about that, sob.

that's why I chose to write that character's history out instead

Trimming done. Got it down to about 6000 characters, then finished the rest with around 10k total. Looks much better.
