* OrphanedSeries: The last new book to be released was ''Maradonia and the Law of Blood'', all the way back in 2010. The series presumably stalled due to Gloria preferring to focus on TheMovie. It seems like the creators ran out of money and gave up on the series after the film's premiere, making the story [[CutShort end on an unresolved cliffhanger]]. Several other factors point towards the series being cancelled: as of January 2020, the ''Maradonia'' websites are down, none of the e-books are available for purchase, the only physical copies for sale are used, and Gloria Tesch's website focuses on her modelling. To make matters worse, Gerry Tesch, Gloria's father and the one person who helped promoting and publishing the series, died in 2018. In December 2019, Gloria Tesch released ''The Secret of Moon Lake'' (under the new name/pseudonym Sofia Nova) and called it her debut novel, effectively disowning ''Maradonia''.

Putting back a couple of entries from YMMV. Almost certainly it was a case of an editor disagreeing rather than the tropes being subjective. Rewording God Save Us From The Queen — was worded as if it was High Queen, apparently as bit of a jab. In any case, one troper per bullet.
