All The Tropes Wiki Project, Part XXXIII
RE: All The Tropes Wiki Project, Part XXXIII
#64
Okay, now that some of my trope candidates have been or are getting launched, what should I propose next? Going through the directory where I do my offline wiki work, I note that the following candidates are ready for primetime, or can be with a little polish:
  • Celebrity Name-Dropper
  • Exotic Clientele
  • He May Be an X, But He's OUR X
  • Heinlein's Dictum ("Your enemy is never a villain in his own eyes.")
  • Kabedon
  • Limited Time of Operation
  • One of These Days, Pow!
  • Paint Path (video game trope - diagetic markings indicating the way to go)
  • Posthumous Homage Character
  • Pretty People Have Pretty Names
  • Suspiciously High Security
  • Syllepsis
  • X, Thy Name Is Y
  • You're weird - I'm X, but it's you that's weird

Less-complete possibilities:
  • God as a Character (AKA "Playing God"). Needs an actual description.
  • Gone Wonderfully Wrong. Needs one more example for minimum three.
  • Meeting the Original (isekai trope). Needs one more example for minimum three.
  • Nomenclature, Military, One Each. Needs one more example for minimum three.
  • Superheroes Need to Breathe. Description needs to be finished/polished.
  • World of Beauties. Needs one more example for minimum three.
  • Worldbuilding Timeline. The description needs a little expansion.
  • You Had Me at Hello. Needs an actual description.

I know Rob has seen all of these as they existed as recently as last week and I'm pretty sure I know a couple of the ones he would choose, but I'm welcoming suggestions from everyone -- including third examples for the ones noted as needing them. And I know some of the titles are a bit... opaque, so feel free to ask me what any of these are actually about.
