Trope Launch Pad Adoption Drive

Sandbox for this Project: TLP Adoption Drive

Per Let's Improve the TLP, this project thread aims to tackle good-condition drafts (ie. a solid concept, a good description, and a decent number of examples) that have been declared Up for Grabs, either directly by their sponsor or via the two-month rule. These drafts ideally just need some more TLC by a willing and capable sponsor before launch.

Feel free to bring drafts that you think could be adoptable to the Sandbox. This thread is for the purposes of discussion regarding the sandbox, as well as existing drafts — whether they are good-quality enough to be adoptable, getting them adopted, and what needs to be done about them before launch. (Unworkable and low-quality drafts should be brought to the TLP Discard Project instead.)

Thanks! I'll adopt Injured Body Drag as I've Seen It a Million Times (particularly in anime and video games, if that's okay. [tup]

The original proposer for Adaptational Costume Change deleted their account, so I want to adopt the draft since I'm very much in the idea.

[up] Actually, the original proposer (Narita 90) is still around AFAIK—the sponsor who adopted it (Mad About Love 97) is the one who deleted their account.

If you want it, I assume you can grab it, since there's no active sponsor? Unless you want to PM Narita just to be sure?

They told me I can adopt it, it's all right.

Hello! I was hoping to adopt Living Ghost on the TLP, but I don’t see any buttons that give me that option. When clicking on a trope on the TLP, the top section has two buttons. A gray one and a blue one. The gray one lists “Copy Link, Edit, and Post History,” and the blue one lists. “Launch Pad, Launches, Discards, and My History.” Is there something that I am missing. Can someone please help guide me to the button that lets me adopt a trope, and while we’re at it, could you show me the button that allows me to create a new trope for the TLP? Thanks!

There's no formal "adopt" button yet, you just have to declare that you're adopting.

However, as an edit banned troper the ability to launch any trope is not available to you.

[up]If they aren't able to adopt the trope, could I?

I haven't talked much on TLP outside of that draft, but I've been reading it for some time, and I have read the guidelines.

(If they do can, and I misread the last sentence and it's just "E Bs can adopt but someone else needs to launch", then sorry, ignore the above part of the message)

^^ They can adopt the trope, they just can't launch it. However, if you are willing to launch and crosswick the trope for them when it's ready to launch, you can do that.

I'll put Metapuzzle up for grabs. Seems to have a decent concept and term "metapuzzle" is a clearly defined term outside tropes as well. Anyone with more familiarity with puzzle games can probably help.

[up]If nobody else offers to adopt it, I'll be glad to give it a shot. I'll start working on it after performing some crosswicking edits on a movie page due tomorrow (it was due my birthday, but I spent these three days playing a new game and had no free time left for anything else).

Just curious if I could but since it said up for grabs, mind if I adopt Our Cerberi Are Different? https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/discussion.php?id=i0a7gpa9rdpmc7y2mco5bb53

Hi, everyone. I'm here to put Musical Memory Trigger up for adoption. I've completely lost all motivation to work on it, but I hope someone here will give it a nice home.

I'll start curating it tomorrow, since right now I'm preparing the making of a Creator page.

Hi everyone, I take it that this is a place where people can put tropes they tried to launch for grabs so other people can give launching them a shot?

If that's the case, I'd like to put this trope I tried to launch up for grabs:

https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/discussion.php?id=l90bax2dqfr5qlcqft12hsul

It's a trope that I thought of in the past and I'd really like for to be officially added!
