Yeah, the magical girl series ones are right. It's just the other instances...

You're right about Frills of Justice. What should go in its place? I thought Mini Dress Of Power might be too broad. (I'll also stop by the associated TRS thread...)

Well there is talk about reworking Frills of Justice and moving the current one to Frill Power Up.

Pimped-Out Dress Mini Dress Of Power I guess but really its not a mini dress, its Pimped-Out Dress - poofy Mini skirt or a variety of Sailor Fuku.

[up][up][up][up]Unless it was locked, there's currently a thread open for Dark Magical Girl, so don't start another.

I find no unlocked thread for it.

Its locked that thread was just about cleaning up the description so it would be less spoilers about the Dark Magical Girl's path though a Magical Girl series. So many stereotypes and common tropes that its easily predicted.

All right, *bump*.

Frills of Justice is being rewritten to be the Magical Girl costume trope. Did anyone else have suggested alterations to the draft rewrite? Are we splitting this between character and genre? Do we need a crowner?

My only worry about Splitting character and genre is misuse gathering for Magical Girl and mispotholeing it meaning Genre.

But if ya think it will work I will be fine with it. It will let us gather examples of Magical Girls in other works and separate them from just references and shoutouts. (hopefully.) And let us talk about common powers and such in it like what I was talking about earlier.

I think to adequately describe both without things getting jumbled, we probably do need a split.

If it turns out Magical Girl is getting misused, (I don't know that it will) we may have to rename to Anime Magical Girl or something, sad to say.

Magical Girl Genre is in YKTTW here. Asking for help filling in the examples, please. I invite people from this thread to edit the YKTTW directly.

Bump! I spent an hour and a bit trying to start an example sort, would really really appreciate extra help.

I've been sidetracked such that nothing to do with TV Tropes has been on my radar for several weeks, and as school has started back up that's likely to continue for a while. Anyone who wants to take over the YKTTW for Magical Girl Genre can - it's a whole lot of example sorting, mostly.

I'll try to handle it. Is that alright?
