Wiki Fics

The "Wiki Fic" is a term I coined myself after thinking about the idea one day. You know those plot synopsis' you read on Wikipedia for a movie or a book when you grow impatient? The idea of them is that the Wiki Fic is a Fan-Fiction designed as a giant overall plot synopsis presented in the form of a Wiki article. Usually these things aren't meant for emotion or really context but for people to express ideas but who don't have the time to do an entire fan-fiction about them.

I highly doubt yes' will appear but has anybody done or read a Wiki-Fic before?

Sorry, I haven't. But this actually sounds better if you apply it to original stories... Maybe you can even use it as a guideline of sorts. Or so I think.
Why should we do the right thing?
-Well... because it's the right thing to do, there's no other good reason.

Am I a bad guy trying to be good, or a good guy trying to convince himself that he's not the bad guy?

That technically wouldn't be a wiki-fic however.

The Wiki-Fic is telling your story as a plot synopsis because you don't have the time to do an actual fic.

I once read a partial-Wiki Fic.
Apparently, slightly less weird than most of you.

Just to point out for people who may be slightly irked by this topic. I am not a man who believes in Art as a transcendental expression of the mind. In my view it is "Eye candy". I am a realist and so I take it in a realist sense. Just saying.
