Is there any particular \\\'\\\'reason\\\'\\\' for the \\\"no quotes or images\\\" note? All it says is \\\"let\\\'s just get on with what \\\'\\\'\\\'we\\\'\\\'\\\' have to say\\\", which is kind of baffling.

If it\\\'s about trying to avoid {{complaining}}, the following quote describes the trope well in regard to an in-universe storyteller;

\\\"Hodgesaargh was an original storyteller and quite good in a very specific way. If he\\\'d had to recount the saga of the Tsortean War, for example, it would have been in terms of the birds observed, every cormorant noted, every pelican listed, every battlefield raven taxonomically placed, no tern unturned. Some men in armour would have been involved at some stage, but only because the ravens were perching on them.\\\"

-- Terry Pratchett, Carpe Jugulum
