1 | A {{trope}} is a storytelling device or convention, a shortcut for describing situations the storyteller can reasonably assume the audience will recognize. Tropes are the means by which a story is told by anyone who has a story to tell. We collect them, for the fun involved. |

3 | Tropes are not the same thing as cliches. They may be brand new but seem trite and hackneyed; they may be thousands of years old but seem fresh and new. They are not bad, they are not good; Administrivia/{{tropes are tools}} that the creator of a work of art uses to express their ideas to the audience. It's pretty much impossible to create a [[JustForFun/TheTropelessTale story without tropes]]. |

5 | Here is a list of indexes, split into conceptual groups. At the bottom of each trope page you will find a convenient '''Next''' or '''Previous''' link that allows browsing alphabetically. [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pagelist_having_pagetype_in_namespace.php?n=Main&t=trope This is a long list of all tropes we have already catalogued]]. You may, however, want to take along a supply of NarniaTime in either case. |
