I ended up going chapter-by-chapter because I felt like going \"by plotline\" was not granular enough. With one exception, I managed to condense every chapter into one paragraph (though I did cheat by occasionally interspersing a quotation into the middle of it). The resulting document was still 42 pages long in Google Docs.
For those interested in this project, there are a couple of things I would ask for:
1) Your opinion on the chapter-by-chapter format vs. the plotline-by-plotline stuff. These synopses, in my mind, serve two masters -- fans of the show and want some familiarity with the source material; and complete newbies who want a taste of it before committing to hundreds of hours of books and TV -- and as such they need to have enough detail to satisfy the hardcore but simultaneously not be intimidating enough to scare off the curious. I\'m still not convinced that chapter-by-chapter is the correct format.
2) One of the things I did specifically was try to make sure every paragraph had at least one wick or pothole. At this, I failed. If you can find any (relevant ;)) ones to stick into those paragraphs, I\'d be grateful.
