[edit] Present vs. past tense

Wikipedia's preference is for summaries of fictional work to be presented in the present tense. See Wikipedia:Guide_to_writing_better_articles#Check_your_fiction. The fact that the work is presented in the form of a character looking back on events would not seem to be an exception--that's a fairly standard fictional form. Nareek 21:18, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

I was a expecting just a 10,000 word plot summary, nice work on this, someone.P4k (talk) 04:25, 25 November 2007 (UTC)
