Writing plot summaries

I have already written plot descriptions for Superboy # 198, the Great Darkness Saga (as a whole), LSH Annual #7 ("The Last Legionnaire") and LSH Annual # 2 (Valor's story), which can easily be pasted here.

I saw that my plot synopses are much shorter than the ones already posted. I'm not sure I want to put that much effort into writing synopses, to be honest; as a reader, I prefer shorter synopses, as well -- ones that hit the "jist" of what happens without summarizing every scene. I'm aware that this is contrary to how most wikis operate. Certainly, if someone wants to write longer synopses, they should.

As time allows, I can write synopses for most of the Adventure, Action, and Superboy runs, as well. I may also go back and put in a roll call feature for each story.
