>> 
>> That looks *way* cleaner and more to-the-point than what came before.
>> 
>> The page quote might have more punch if you cut it down to just the first two sentences: "Don't panic. I solemnly swear that there is a logical, foreshadowed, canon-compliant explanation for everything which happens in this chapter."

>> **u/lehyde** [+5]  *Nudist Beach* (a day later)
>> 
>> Maybe we should distinguish more strongly between [Eliezer's Rational**ist** Fiction](http://www.reddit.com/r/rational/comments/1www2h/q_which_is_a_better_name_for_the_tv_tropes_page/cf6zx2v) and the fiction that is discussed in this subreddit (namely, all fiction that is stimulating to an aspiring rationalist's mind). The latter is well suited for discussion in a subreddit but I think the former would fit better in the context of tvtropes.

>> **u/DaystarEld** [+3]  *Pokémon Professor* (3 hours later)
>> 
>> I think your proposed rewrite is very well done.

>> **u/traverseda** [+2]  *With dread but cautious optimism* (3 hours later)
>> 
>> It looks as good as the last version. I don't really know what the problem is. No one's going to cut it for the time being anyway.
