Talk:Earl Cain

message: Alright, lets work out a compromise! Remember to keep good faith about each other and a positive atmosphere. A compromise means that we work out something acceptable to both parties.
My concern with the current version (aside from some minor grammar mistakes I'll fix very soon) is that it goes on for about half the length of the summary of Godchild. I understand that this epilogue will never be released to other non-Japanese-speaking fans and you are concerned about that, but realistically speaking, we can't keep every detail. There is a limit on how long the plot summary can be. 
I'm in favor of something like this: "The bunkoban-only epilogue expands the ending slightly. It shows an elderly Mary, who lies on her deathbed attended by a woman nearby and hears the laughter of Jizabel's ghost as he plays with his pet sheep. Sensing a presence nearby, she dies and her soul takes the form of her ten-year-old self, and joins Cain hand-in-hand at a tea party with their friends and loved ones—although they exist as spirits, a boy nearby can hear them."  
I think this version keeps all of the details, but makes it more concise (I am not criticizing you). The possibility of Noel being Mary's grandson is speculation, until someone can find the author's note or quote—remember this is Ms. Yuki we are talking about. ;) Nothing is ever what it seems with her characters. If you want to add in his name, I'll admit that I don't see the importance (unless, of course he ends up getting his own spin-off with Mary, which would be amazing), but eh...that's why it's called a compromise.
So, here is two possible compromises I've come up with (please feel free to add any others.) Both would stay in the plot section.
#Remove the header, merge into previous paragraph with slight explanation that this is the bunko version
#Put it in a note with explanation that this is the bunko version of the epilogue

replies: text: Your actions are beginning to worry me... There are two things wrong with the version you prefer, though. It switches to second-person plural (we), which is frowned upon here, and doesn't warrant having a whole sub-section to itself. (You do understand what a compromise is, right?)  Wiki is not supposed to replace the manga—which is what I think you believe—but give a plot summary and some fun stuff like literary analysis. Also, you may want to check out the  manga Wikia. From what I understand, it is formatted like Wiki, but is more geared towards fans. Plus, it's more friendly. :) Kaguya-chan (talk) 12:47, 13 February 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Seeing as the discussion has gone silent for over a month now, I can only conclude that everyone agrees with the changes or else they would have spoken up by now. Kaguya-chan (talk) 19:17, 19 March 2011 (UTC)
