Awesome. Glad this is up.
Well, I could work a bit on our Antony and Cleopatra page for starters.

The Shakespearean play? I could probably find some online text for that and contribute.
Plus, the line "Beat the poop gold" will never, ever get old.

Yeah, the play. Not one of my favorite Shakespearean works, but still criminally short.

Huh, we don't have a page for that, I don't think. Since you suggested it, would you like to do the honors, gentlemanorcus?
No, I just can't spell Antony properly, ignore me.

Antony and Cleopatra? Yes we do.
Lead.
Well, here's the entire play's script. If you don't mind me, I'll be doing some reading.
Dog and Pony Show
Despite a huge King Arthur page that covers pop culture appearances, we don't have any pages for the core Arthurian romances like Chretien De Troyes' Erec And Enide, Lancelot The Knight Of The Cart, Yvain The Knight Of The Lion, Wolfram's Parzival, The Vulgate Cycle, or Le Morte D Arthur.

^^ Go ahead. I have a copy that has modern English on the side with the original text, so that will help me get the meaning a bit more.
^ Interesting. I can't help too much with that, but you should give it a go.

I'm Only Sleeping
I'm going to specialize in pre-1950 Filipino lit.
INT is knowing a tomato is a fruit. WIS is knowing it doesn't belong in a fruit salad. CHA is convincing people that it does.
If we're going to specialize in things, I'll specialize in Shakespearean literature.

No need to specialize, after all, you can enjoy Shakespearean work and, say, Crime And Punishment with a touch of Herculean Mythology.

I know. I just know what I said better than most of you. 
If I made a page for Flannery O Connor's Wise Blood, would someone help me add tropes for it?
I know a few things I can add right off the bat to Antony And Cleopatra. Can I just go ahead with it?

Guys, this thread is just for advice and such, go right ahead with edits if you feel it's okay.
Anyway, I haven't read Wise Blood yet, so I can't help there.

Okay. I'll work on Antony And Cleopatra then. The basic tropes first, then I'll expand.

Can we lump poetry here as well? What are your thoughts on tropes specific to poems? I've been a bit averse to starting a section, because it'll be huge and rather different to other media.

Poetry tends to be odd. It might be better to group smaller poems by author and give significantly large poems (read: epics) their own pages. Seriously, Shakespeare wrote over a hundred sonnets and only numbered them with no names attached. We can't make a page for each of those.

Narrative poems can have individual works pages just like anything else.
Lyric poetry is a whole different animal.

Perhaps it should be handled on a case by case basis. Generally group poem series together and leave the stand alone ones or the really long ones separate. If we group things by author, we can have a miscellaneous section for each poet for the poetry that doesn't fit the above..

I'm trying to imagine what a William Carlos Williams trope page would look like...

I can work on some of the Arthurian literature. (Aside from the Vulgate cycle, I own everything Rottweiler listed.)
No clue how long it will take me, since I'll have to reread everything. I'll start with Chrétein de Troyes's works and go from there.
Beginning Antony and Cleopatra work now.

I see the Awesomeness.
Make sure you make pages in the proper namespace.
Fight smart, not fair.
It has come into recent light that this site has not been focusing nearly enough on the classics which most, if not all, modern works derive inspiration from. So this topic is for various tropers to gather and help build up those pages.
This topic is for:
Classic works are whatever you decide. I figure it's anything that's sufficiently old but still referenced quite often.
When launching a page that will go on either of these lists, make sure to mention whether or not you'll be working on it or if you simply want it on the wishlist.
Current projects and who's working on them: (For a project to have begun, it must be blue linked)
Wishlist of titles that need more tropes:
Wishlist of titles that need a better summary:
Wishlist of titles that don't exist yet:
Completed Works: (For pages that, at this time, the people that worked on them feel are complete)
Don't forget, when adding tropes to a work page, make sure to add that work as an example on the trope page.
