		+
		+	With fourteen articles over nearly 20 years, a lot of inconsistencies large and small appear throughout the various articles' transcripts. I'd like to see a consistent approach to this, especially since most (2006 onward) use the exact same toon format.
		+
		+	I have Be's Bold and put together a subsection on [[HRWiki:Standards#Fan 'Stumes]] as a starting point, though there should probably be consensus on the different factors. Some potential elements to discuss standardizing:
		+	* How do the articles open?
		+	* Do we need to specify SB is speaking in voiceover?
		+	* What is the sentence structure for when the slide changes from one image to another?
		+	* In how much detail should the photos be described? Do we need to describe setting, non-H*R costumes visible, etc? How do we physically describe fans?
		+	* Many times a costume obscures the wearer, making their age and gender indeterminate. Do we just call them "a fan" or use a different generic/neutral term?
		+	* What are some tips for maintaining a neutral, non-judgemental point of view when describing a costume?
