I think the difference is that you're trying to describe the stories, rather than _tell_ the stories in six words. For example while with Dune > Dune: Paul uses every advantage to win. describes the story well, it doesn't really tell the story. Perhaps something more like Lose planet. Get Spice. Rule Universe. > The Lord of the Rings: Even a ring can make mistakes. "One Ring to rule them all." (So, JRR actually wrote the six word story, and just expanded on it... a little...) Alice in Wonderland: The rabbit is a dream. Right? > -- > Elliott C.
