Light Novel is another of those descriptions that assume the reader is actually familiar with the subject matter, using Show, Don't Tell in favour of a clear description. It shouldn't take much to clean it up, but since I'm unfamiliar with the medium, are there any volunteers who would prefer doing it instead?

This happened because Tim had made a mistake.

@post 722: Where on the analysis page should I put it? I'm having a hard time actually figuring out exactly where on the page it would fit.

It already has an analysis page? <looks the link up> ... Ugh, too much Wall of Text. Can't bother looking through this right now.

Is the description on Shameless Self-Promoter acceptable?

And before you say, no, TRS hasn't responded.

My only reservation is that it may be too brief.

Looks like an ill-fated work-in-progress to me.

There's archived discussion, too, so it's pretty old.

That is a trope.

It looks like a trope that's missing a description.

Is that the sort of thing we bring to the TRS?

Hmm, on second look, it might be indicated... although a description is there.

Right Under Their Noses has (in this order):

  • A description
  • A compare/contrast section
  • A "this might extend to" list
  • A corollary
  • Another corollary
  • A short description of the Real Life use of this trope
  • A see-also section
  • To quote, "Note: If the hero is a Spy, this may be a Justified Trope."

Followed by the example section.

Elmuh Fudd Syndwome needs a description that isn't Self Demonstrating. I would split it, but I can't read that.
