Forum:Redoing character page synopses

Hey guys, so this is just something I noticed while skimming through a few pages. Some characters' TDI episode summaries are really well-written and concise, like Heather and Eva's. However, in synopses for Total Drama Action episodes and on, we begin to see this ever so formulaic summary approach: Now, don't get me wrong, this is fine. The grammar's correct and it fully recaps the character's events in the episode. But it begins to be tiresome when characters such as Sierra seem to have the exact same template regurgitating slightly different information 23 times.
 * In This Episode, Character does something at the beginning. Later, Character is seen when Chris is announcing the challenge. In the challenge, Character is paired up with Other Character. Character gets injured during the challenge and loses the challenge. At the elimination ceremony, Character is in the bottom two with Other Character, and receives the final marshmallow.

In addition, these summaries are ridiculously meticulous. It's almost as if we describe every single frame the character is included in. Quality is always better than quantity - and it's also a bit of a turnoff to look at, say, Geoff's page, and see 23 giant blocks of text recapping what he did in Total Drama Island. While images make it better, it still comes off as a bit of a daunting task for any potential readers.

So, what this proposal is essentially saying is to redo and revitalize the character pages. This is no easy task and is tedious, yes, but I feel that by doing so we'll improve our own writing as individuals by doing things such as varying sentence structures, broadening our vocabulary, and learning to be concise yet detailed.

So, leave your thoughts below. Again, I do realize this is a huge task. Some characters will need to have up to four seasons' worth of synopses redone, but I think it'll be worth it.
