User:MrMrDUCK/Book Headings
Proposed headings for books, as they currently aren't consistent. Most are optional, so only add if necessary. But if they are added, they should be consistent. Listed existing headings used per heading I've picked for comparison.
Some books have some weird unique headings, they are:
- Contents - Arcanum Unbounded
- Background - Defending Elysium
- Easter Eggs - The Emperor's Soul
Synopsis[edit]
- Synopsis
- Cover Synopsis
- Cover Blurb

I like the small table the Stormlight Archive books have, so will replicate if possible elsewhere. e.g.
The Way of Kings consists of one prelude, one prologue, seventy-five chapters, ten of which are reserved for flashbacks of the focus character of the book, nine interludes and one epilogue, reaching a total 384,265 word count. There are seventeen different unique point-of-view characters in a total of 123 POVs, although twelve of these characters occupy a much shorter portion of the book than the other five.
| Word Count | 384,265 | |
|---|---|---|
| Page Count | 1,008 | Tor hardback |
| Chapter Count | 87 | Including prelude, prologue, 9 interludes, and epilogue. |
| PoV Characters | 17 | |
| PoV Count | 123 |
