Reminder: Anthologies cannot be claimed unless they are marked as Finished on MAL.
Anthologies are a collection of one-shots. You may decide the structure of the synopses accordingly based on the content of the anthology, but there are cases where writing one synopsis is recommended. During the writing process, it is a good idea to visit the More Info section and check the stories listed; this will save you some time verifying romanized/official English titles if they are included.
In cases where a Rewrite synopsis exists for one or more stories but not the entire anthology, you are only responsible for the ones that require a synopsis unless you intend to write one synopsis that covers the collection.
If an anthology has more than two chapters covering a specific story, you can merge them and use a title representative for all of them, followed by "Series." Ideally, the title will be the common part of the individual titles. If not, the main character's name or a distinctive element present in all chapters can also be used. On Google Docs, this will be written as [b]Common Title Series[/b].
However, if the chapters covering the same story are more than half of the anthology, the related chapters will be treated as a regular series and the remaining separate stories as included one-shots. Please see the One-shots section for more information.
