7Pages that I created that I'm personally proud of:
8
9* Administrivia/AGuideToEasyLaunchingOfYourTLP (Originally, AGuideToEasyLaunchingOfYourYKTTW)
10* ListOfShowsThatNeedSummary (Inspired by the fact that I suck at writing summaries of fiction, and wanted an article for TabletopGame/InNomine and Series/ItsAlwaysSunnyInPhiladelphia (the latter because I wanted to know if it was worth seeing.))
11* CanonicalListOfSubtleTropeDistinctions (I didn't know what the difference between some tropes were, and wanted an article to explain such.)
12* TropeyTheWonderDog (The name wasn't mine, but I did write the description, which I am proud of)
13* PlayingWithWiki, along with the basic template thereof. (I figured that the old forum game was actually a better use of Wiki resources then HaikuWiki, after seeing HaikuWiki.)
14* I provided the name for GreyAndGrayMorality
15* ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin (Inspired, IIRC, by Film/SnakesOnAPlane's strong draw of being such)
16* WrongGenreSavvy (Particularly inspired by a combination of a scene in Literature/TalesOfMU and a character in Discworld/TheAmazingMauriceAndHisEducatedRodents)
17* A boatload of LaconicWiki entries.
18* TropeCodifier (Inspired by the fact that people were complaining that TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons didn't qualify for the title of TropeMaker for the StandardFantasySetting, and yet it occupied a position equivalent to a a TropeMaker in the history of said meta-setting.)
19
20Proud enough to take credit for having started (both YKTTW and launched), but not proud enough to feature in the list above, listed in random order:
21* WhatNowEnding (Inspired by Buffy and The Shield both having a bunch of these no-cliffhanger cliffhangers)
22* OnlyInFlorida
23* UniversalAdaptorCast (Originally, CommediaDellArteTroupe) (Inspired by some of the more bizarre variations in Ramna 1/2 AU fanfic I've seen)
24* FairPlayWhodunnit
25* LoadsAndLoadsOfRaces (Inspired by the ElderScrolls and WarlordsBattlecry series.)
26* JustForFun/JohnMunch (As the trope says, it's his appearance in the French version of LawAndOrderCriminalIntent that tipped him over into a trope of his own.)
27* StrawmanHasAPoint (Originally, TheStrawmanStrikesBack)
28* Administrivia/ShouldWeHaveThis (I asked this frequently in my YKTTWs.)
29* WantonCrueltyToTheCommonComma
30* FashionDissonance
31* InUniverseMarketing
32* [[SoYouWantTo/MakeAJokeAboutTheSoYouWantToNamespace So You Want To/Make A Joke About The So You Want To Namespace]]
33* SlidingScaleOfAntagonistVileness
34* VillainsActHeroesReact
35* PlayedForDrama
36* FantasticSapientSpeciesTropes
37* VideogameObjectives (Originally, WhatMeasureIsAnObjective)
38* FishingMinigame
39* CausticCritic (As the original YKTTW states, the inspiration for this one was WebVideo/ZeroPunctuation, which clearly had a parent genre of some kind.)
40* StandardFantasySetting (Originally, ISOStandardFantasySetting)
41* BanOnPolitics
42* SympatheticMurderer (an obvious corollary to AssholeVictim)
43* TheHorde
44* TheTheoremOfNarrowInterests
45* DiscussedTrope (From what I recall, this was CSI's fault; in particular, their treatment of Arsenic in one episode.)
46* ConspiracyKitchenSink (Inspired by Illuminatis and Deus Ex.)
47* VideoGameDifficultyTropes (A spin-off of ClassicVideoGameScrewYous, when I realized that there wasn't an Index for difficulty.)
48* RegeneratingShieldsStaticHealth (I played Alpha Protocol and Borderlands relatively soon after one another, and realized we didn't have an article on this surprisingly common Health system.)
49* TheManInTheMirrorTalksBack (And yes, the name is a Music/MichaelJackson reference.)
50* LessDisturbingInContext
51* MakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext (The name came first for this one.)
52* ExampleSectionectomy (I had launched PetPeeveTrope, and noticed several other tropes that had "No Examples, Please")
53* TheProblemWithPenIsland
54* EntertaininglyWrong (Inspired by a fanfic, Inviolate, where Lex Luthor concludes that Bruce Wayne is ''backing'' Batman, but also assumes that Batman is Matches Malone)
55* DecoyTrial (originally, TrialOfSomebodyBesidesTheDefendant)
56* TheGimmick
57* TropeGrid
58* HeelFaceRevolvingDoor (Inspired by Magneto.)
59* SlidingScaleOfVillainEffectiveness (In launching SlidingScaleOfAntagonistVileness, I noticed a gap in our sliding scales.)
60* ZigZaggingTrope (Inspired by an example in AssholeVictim that was both inverted and played straight.)
61* TransGenderTropes ([[IncrediblyLamePun Mainly created so that there would be perfectly valid redirects at]] TransvestiteTropes and TGTropes.)
62* ObviousCrossoverMethod
63* AudienceReactions (originally, AudienceReactionTropes) (I noticed that there were tropes that weren't quite objective, and weren't quite subjective)
64* InsaneTrollLogic (Originally intended to act as a release valve for YouFailLogicForever (Back when it was You Fail Logic Forever), which was preposterously large at the time.)
65* RussianRoulette
66* FranchiseOriginalSin
67* EpicRiff (I noticed we were missing this. I take no responsibility for the sheer awfulness that the example section became, although in retrospect, a preemptive ExampleSectionectomy would not have been amiss.)
68* DidYouJustRomanceCthulhu (I noticed that "Did You Just Suck Off Cthulhu" in TropesThatWillNeverHappen had enough examples that it could be a trope on its own, so I YKTTWed it.)
69* DifficultyLevels
70* StockMonsterSymbolism
71* CoolButStupid
72* GrapplingWithGrapplingRules (Inspired by WebComic/DarthsAndDroids coverage of the topic.)
73* InDexMachina
74* UnreliableExpositor (Inspired in particular by the fact that the BatmanBeyond example wasn't covered by UnreliableNarrator.)
75* GodNeverSaidThat
76* BitPartBadguys
77* TheStationsOfTheCanon (Inspired, as the description implies, by reading a lot of HarryPotter fanfiction. I ''think'' this one was particularly inspired by Fanfic/HarryPotterAndTheMethodsOfRationality and a fic called "School Spirit", both of which had very unusual Sorting Hat Scenes, and made me realize that there was a very particular formula to "different Harry Potter" fics.)
78* SlidingScaleOfProactiveness
79* NonMaliciousMonster (Inspired by Film/KingKong.)
80* AssholeVictim
81* ThatOneRule (Inspired by realizing that GrapplingWithTheGrapplingRules lacked a parent trope.)
82* AdventureFriendlyWorld (Inspired by the realization that {{Warhammer}} is the way it is because of such considerations.)
83* AudienceSurrogate
84* SlidingScaleOfFourthWallHardness
85* ClassicVideoGameScrewYous (Inspired by the realization that IWannaBeTheGuy was merely a listing of such developer dick moves.)
86* TheWarOnStraw (I noticed that we had a lot of tropes about Strawmen. The name is not mine.)
87* HypocrisyNod
88* SlidingScaleOfProactiveness
89* WritersSuck (Inspired in particular by the CSI episode mentioned in the trope.)
90** [[PotHole Pot Holing]] of WritersSuck led to BadWriting
91* BasicMysteryClasses
92* TropeEnjoymentLoophole (Inspired by the realization that Film/AsGoodAsItGets was a case of WhyDoYouHateTheDog, but that it avoids the usual pitfalls of that particularly FridgeHorror heavy trope.)
93* ReimaginingTheArtifact (Not gonna lie: Inspired by the Series/BattlestarGalactica reboot, mixed with KryptoTheSuperdog.)
94* VampireDetectiveSeries (The trope was inspired by the realization that the then running show New Amsterdam qualified as such)
95* OlderThanTheNES (I noticed we lacked an OldestOnesInTheBook index for video games, and sought to correct that.)
96* IntendedAudienceReaction (originally, TheyPlottedAPerfectlyGoodWaste)
97
