I'm not sure. What the outline is really is a way of letting someone who's never even heard of the series-in-question be able to read the fic and know who the characters are and what's going on and things like that.

My problem is that unless I'm directkly asked a question about something I tend to gloss over things (I completely forgot to explain anything about or even mention The Conspiracy to someone once) that are somewhat vitally important.
