Hey, so what are we going to do about the character summaries, because they are written in two tenses (past and present) for most of the original characters. I know we discussed the switch before, but I just wanted follow up on it. What I think is that we should stick to one tense in order to reestablish coherency in the character summaries. I don't mind being the one to change the tenses. It will be a tedious process but I got time. So will it be present or past tense?

I personally prefer past over present, because imo the narrative does a better job of detailing the characters' history throughout the show, as it is a continuous process. Whereas, for instance, the plot of an episode isn't a continuous process so it makes sense to keep it in simple present tense. Nevertheless, I also acknowledge that writing in present tense is more effective as it makes the process of adding information faster. So these are my two cents. I'd like to know your opinion on the matter.
