Title: Should the character indexes include (VO) appearances? Post by: Daphne on September 30, 2022, 05:53:42 pm This is for the character indexes for Saint James Infirmary, An Education, and Expanded Universe.
The rules right now for including a character as "appearing" in a particular issue are: 1. The character is visible and identifiable, even if that is something like a photograph. 2. The character speaks off-panel, but would be visible if you were standing in the scene and looking around. There's a third possibility, which we are not consistent about: 3. The character has a voice-over (that is, we see the character's speech balloon, but they're not present in the scene it's over). Let's settle this once and for all: Should we include appearances of (VO)s in the index? Title: Re: Should the character indexes include (VO) appearances?

If there was the option to add (Voice) to the tag that would be ideal, but even without making y'all do all that extra work I think it's a good idea.

Post by: macavity on October 02, 2022, 03:10:18 am Let's settle this once and for all: Should we include appearances of (VO)s in the index? I'd vote for yes and also add: 4. Someone sends a (text) message which we see but not include 5. Someone sends a (text) message which we don't see - it might well be a cliff hanger after all!
