Revision as of 12:26, 26 December 2009
Rough outline
I REALLY need to go to bed but quick outline
- unless it's really bad, don't phonetically transcribe everything Chris says - just because he slurs "you" to sound somewhat like "jew" does not mean the transcript should read "jew."
- link to other articles in transcripts
- some sort of unified color coding, that sort of shit.
I'll finish this a bit later. --Champthom 11:52, 26 December 2009 (CET)
Individual concerns
I find myself overusing ",uh ," and just commas in general, particularly here. Does this need to be addressed? --Robotnik 13:58, 26 December 2009 (CET)
- If Chris says it, that's what gets written down. Don't feel like a bad transcriber just because the speech that you're transcribing is an affront to the English language. Llort 18:26, 26 December 2009 (CET)
I find myself taking little liberties when describing the action onscreen. Example:
- [Chris waves the two figures around, and recites a strange chant, possibly implying that Sonichu and Rosechu do their housework by levitating and crying out to wicked pagan gods.]
