Can someone make my fanfic's pages?

Hey, I have an account on Fanfiction.net, under the name of Thorns Father, and I believe they could be good pages here. However, I don't want to make them myself, as I would feel like a self-important snob and jerk. So, I am asking all those who are interested in fanfics to analyze these stories of mine and give me some constructive criticism, and if they have some good, analyzable tropes, make the pages. Here are the stories:

The Rise Of Extinction series: started with my first ever fanfic, The Extinct Ally, and now it's sequel, Countdown To Extinction and the spinoff story, Heslant's Catacalysm. It is an Inheritance Cycle fanfic series.

Modern Cycle: 2012 A.D.: another Cycle fanfic, it concerns the aftermath of a disastrous civil war in Alagaesia and the surviving humans send a Ra'zac back in time.

The Scream Of Jeepers Creepers: my first crossover fic, and is a crossover of Jeepers Creepers and Scream (1981). Was updated(finally!) by me just yesterday.

So, like I said: check the stories under the name of Thorns Father(author), analyze them for good tropes, send me some constructive criticism, and if it's viable enough, create the pages for them. Also of note: this is only for people who are interested in fanfics and fanfic writing.

'Til next time,

And you can't do it yourself like the rest of us...why?

I already explained as to why. I just don't think it would feel right for me to make a page based upon my own work. I would feel self-centered and looked down upon, even if other users didn't do the latter to me, I would still feel that way, and it's not right in the eyes of my morals.

What, like making a thread asking someone else to do it for you is any better?

You can add a slot to the fanfic recs page instead.

[up][up] You explained why you don't want to, not why you can't; and as Leandry notes, asking someone to do it for you can easily be considered more conceited then doing it yourself.

Granted I'd advise against doing what she suggests as well since self-recommendations are to be nuked as far as I know.

No, they're allowed as long as they're signed with a troper name.

As has been repeated in Wiki Talk, there is no stigma attached to making the pages yourself on this site. A thread like this, on the other hand, appears demanding. Note that, while the vast majority of works here were not added by their creators, they were also not added at their creators' request, either, but rather because they attracted interested readers on their own terms.

I am going to lock this now. Please don't make more threads like this. The one in Wiki Talk should be sufficient.
