I like it, I get to write about Bda and Mgb without leaving swearwords all over the place.

Err... maybe it's time for some criticism here? I mean, well, you can't reduce the quality of a story to its tropes, the same way you can't reduce a drug to its component atoms or even molecules (lots of balances and interactions are involved).

I don't think it's supposed to be taken that literally. It's just for fun. You obviously wouldn't make a story from that, except perhaps as a constrained writing exercise.

Some people probably would, but then they probably wouldn't be very good writers.

First time that I've seen this, and I love it. Plus, I think I found at least one bonus joke in there: that the identifier for the trope Rebellious Spirit is Mal. As in Malcolm Reynolds from Firefly?

Also, it makes my heart glow a little that one of the tropes I created and wrote is on the table.
