Forum:Ideas Found in Multiple Timelines

Ok, I think the anon's recent edits have brought the IFiMT discussions to a head. His/her edits are welcome and have a place at this wiki, but not in the IFiMT article as that article exists now. We've definitely gone far afield of when the article was first created, and as TF has pointed out, many of the sections are more tropes in HT's broader writing, and probably justify a separate article(s). (And there are some sections that have been tropes of fiction since people sat around a fire telling stories, and I'm not sure we really need to identify those.) Or perhaps making the article "tropes-drive" rather than "timeline-driven" would be better.

The comparisons between 191 and TDSA that the anon created can certainly go into the Multiple Timelines article, or it could be a roadmap for a whole new approach to the IFiMT generally. Or it could be the starting point of a whole new concept of literary comparisons, rather like the stalled Parallelism in Southern Victory article.

So now, we have to decide how to reorganize the article. TR 16:31, August 26, 2011 (UTC)
