[HUnewearl_Meira]

So, what exactly happens when you open Word and Auto-Summarize a borderline novel-length fic to only 10 sentences?

What happens when it's an especially silly fic?

Well, here is the answer.

Behold, the 10 Most Important Sentences in The Recollection of Crankshaft--

[MrLostman]

how do you do that? I wana do it!

[HUnewearl_Meira]

I just pulled up Word, opened up my RTF files for the fics in question, and selected "AutoSummarize" from the Tools menu, and worked from there. Doesn't take long at all.

[Mixfortune]

Hmmm, 10 sentence summary of the first chapter of my fic, proving that my fic is about nothing in particular.

Chapter 1: Landing (heh...)

Slowly warmth returns.

A voice, a recording...monotone

And for Chapter 30 (for the heck of it)

Vasco nodded.

Vasco slumped slightly.

Vasco again lifted her

Vasco grinned,

Vasco laughed.

Vasco continued.

Galel Vendus!

Vendus, Ontario Vendus, and Linbard Vendus.

Vasco laughed once again.

Vasgard.

-----

Hmm, that summary almost works as its own chapter.
I'll have to copy and past all the chapters into one bigger file and 10-sentence summary it, but I'm pretty sure I already know what I'm going to get...

[DragonFang]

Yeah, you know that one time that bum hacked into aol and deleted everyones screen names. That was great.

[Solstis]

?Solstis and Toldos!

Rigis decided to negotiate for time.

Rigis faked a smile and lifted his hands into the air.

[center]?Stupid lab experiments!?

Rigis kicked a nearby corpse.

[b]Anna sighed. Silphie...

Mumbled Rigis.

Rigis then looked at Anna with a sigh. Solstis turned around and smiled at the youngster.

[Mixfortune]

Ah, here's my 10 sentence version of 1-34 of the currently unfinished fic...

Sigolfitz
"Elsine!" "Elsine!" "Team 0? "Vasgard? Sigolfitz
"Sigolfitz..." Vasgard."

Team 4."

"Vasgard..."

---

Well, at least Team 4 wasn't necessarily the least important of the Teams...

[Solstis]

Mine somehow mentioned every important character in the story.

:?

Edit: Except for any of the antagonists... bit of an optimist, word is.

I think it's funny that the Recollection of Crankshaft's summary contains a lot of Vangarrett, and the Recollection of Vangarrett contained tons of Randon. I think there is something to say there.

[HUnewearl_Meira]

Well, we all knew that Crankshaft is weird.
