Jossed is a YMMV Definition Only Page now. Deleting examples, fan theories that are in objective pages - they need to go on YMMV pages - and moving these about a specific fan work to Outdated By Canon

Added DiffLines:

* AuthorPhobia: Because one of the triggers the author has is food due to her PTSD, [[spoiler: Requiem was inspired for the second murder because of this fear.]]
* BasedOnADream: The whole Committee Saga is based loosely on a dream that the author had that only was about two of the trials, the first and the fifth. Things have changed but it keeps a lot of its nightmare-like presence, which is probably why there are so many of them in the story itself.
* CreatorsFavoriteEpisode: Requiem has admitted that her favorite trial is the second one. Though she has stated that her favorite section so far is the fourth after-trial, followed by the ending.
* CrossDressingVoices: With the reveal of the cast for the audiobook, some of the characters.
* DescendedCreator: Requiem has revealed that she will voice Madoka in the audiobook version.
* DevelopmentGag: The reason why Akita's alter ego is named Akiza Yamamoto is that that was her name in the original script.
* DevelopmentHell: The audiobook. Though it is still continuing, Requiem has a problem with finding enough people to work on it. There also has been some drama involved with one of the now-fired cast members.
* FandomNickname: Some of Monokuma's nicknames have become this such as Aya-Izumi-Chan-Chan.
* FandomNod: All over the place. Creator/SanityRequiem makes many references to the memes that the fandom has created in her stories.
* {{Jossed}}: There's a reason why some of the fans call Requiem the Ultimate Theory Destroyer.
* LineToGod: Requiem keeps active on her Discord. She even has a channel that is solely based on people asking her questions about the Committee Saga.
* LyingCreator: Sometimes Requiem will lie about the plot. This is to increase the WhamEpisode effects and she also happens to be a {{Troll}}.
** [[spoiler: For example, Requiem lied about Ayano being heterosexual, though she has a canon interest in both men and women. Why? Because she felt like it.]]
* RoleEndingMisdemeanor: Kem was in charge of a lot of things in Forest of Despair. Not only was he a mod, but he also a composer, editor, and voice actor for Takara. Him along with his friend Kitty, who also was a composer, were banned from the server and anything Committee Saga related due to emotional abuse and manipulation, as well as knowingly breaking many of the rules of the server.
* SelfAdaptation: Requiem, the writer of the original fanfiction, is also working on the audiobook. She has also revealed that she would be interested in a game if she series gets popular enough, or she gets enough money and experience.
* TeasingCreator: The winky face of doom will haunt the fans of the Discord for all eternity.
* TrollingCreator: Oh dear lord. Requiem loves messing with her audience a little too much. She really does feed on their tears.
* TroubledProduction: The audiobook. Not only was there the hiatus, but there has been a lot of drama and actors suddenly quitting. Though Requiem will not stop, though she has joked about this being to mostly piss off Kem.
* WriteWhatYouKnow: Requiem reveals that some of the plot points in this story are based on her own life, though she understandably doesn't want to talk about it. She says she does this in some way for all of her stories as a way to vent.
* WriteWhoYouKnow: Hideyoshi, Kaneshiro, Kotori, and Ayano Kirigiri are based on actual people she has come to contact with. Once again, Requiem not wanting to talk about it makes a whole lot of sense.
** [[spoiler: From what we know, Kaneshiro is based on a father of one of Requiem's childhood friends that turned out to be a rapist and generally a bad person. She was inspired by how people were so easily manipulated him, even though it was proven without a doubt that he was guilty.]]
** [[spoiler: Hideyoshi is based on Requiem's cousin. For her entire life, Requiem has been an obsession for her cousin, with him abusing her for many years. Requiem was inspired by this obsession to make Hideyoshi. This is also the reason that Hideyoshi turns out to be Akita's cousin.]]
