Thread 8, right on schedule...
Now that http://drunkardswalkforums.yuku.com/rep ... ply-140219]Geth has perma-banned "Saline", I've been reviewing his changes and reverting some (but not all) of them. I'd like some advice on http://allthetropes.org/w/index.php?ti ... id=1187112]the changes to "So You Want To/Write a Cyber Punk Story".
Obviously, the typo fixes can stay in.
Obviously, the changes to standard headers (e.g. "Suggested Themes and Aesops" -> "Suggested questions, themes and Aesop-to-Aesop conflicts") get reverted.
Obviously, the Suggested Plots that he cut get put back.
Obviously, we should take the real-world organization names out of the changes.
By preference, the changes from Commonwealth English to US English get reverted - this isn't a US-specific genre, our policy is that they're both okay, and the Commonwealth spellings were there first.
Some of the others, though, I'm not sure about. Are all of those Suggested Themes and Aesops applicable to the genre? Should the motif be obscure? Does everything added to the Props section make sense in-genre? Do costumes need to look like modern-day outfits? Does the "Sound" section belong in the article at all?
