Now going by plain old "Silverfire".I started working on cleaning up MrFanservice.Live Action TV, a page I've been aware needed cleaing for a long time, and I got about halfway through and I already can't take it anymore. It is full of misuse held over from the trope's old name and definition, and is basically full of girls swooning over guys they think are hot. Many entries read like they were typed one-handed, if you know what I mean. It gets quite gross after a while. It's also full of natter, thread mode, and self-insertion.

Wow, that's pretty terrible. Not just the Live Action TV section, but it seems like a lot of the subpages really need cleanup.
Now going by plain old "Silverfire".Could use some backup on Soapbox Sadie. More issues with Natter, Example Indentation, and general de-crufting beyond what I fixed a few moments ago.
All your safe space are belong to TrumpCutting Off the Branches should be sorted and folderized by someone who knows games. Almost all of the examples are from video games and I play pool.
Music Is Politics needs example sorting, some natter cuts and context in examples.
WWE - Rock 'N Wrestling Era and WWE Tag Teams need huge YMMV cleanup, and I am still recovering from the 640+ Your Milage May Vary wick cleanup.

"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard FeynmanSpotlight-Stealing Squad -the complaining! the natter! The thread mode! I can't do it alone!
The Slender Man Mythos needs YMMV cleanup as well.

The voice of thy brother's blood crieth unto me from the groundNo, moving them over to the YMMV tab. But YMMV potholes can simply be deleted.
"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard FeynmanEven if they are character tropes and not general tropes?

Edit: checked examples up to the 14th. I'm not sure about the examples added to Film.The Roommate, Laura, All About Eve, Millers Crossing and Atlas Shrugged.

Checked the rest of the edits that weren't checked by the others. I think all those iffy pages are okay now (I edited Millers Crossing and Atlas Shrugged afterward). What about The Thing That Would Not Leave? It's a bombastic bit of meta-prose from a Real Life example of "the thing".
Also, the Ayn Rand page might need to be locked or something (I'm currently just watchlisting it), the guy is obsessed with defending her honor.

Innocent Woodland Elf has been banned. He has a history of coming back with a different handle, though. — Btw, I moved the Ayn Rand to the Creator/ namespace.

What's precedent ever done for us?Oh dear ... that image should not be there
Rarely active, try DA/Tumblr Avatar by pippanaffie.deviantart.comRead its examples. Gods, that's just gushing about sexy fairies. I requested a P5 evaluation of that page.
The voice of thy brother's blood crieth unto me from the groundP5 Guy here. Just give the page a clean up, and everything should be just fine. It's a legit trope, but it needn't come across as being so unnecessarily lewd.

Despair Speech needs more context in its examples.
