I made Undermined By Reality trivia, and heavily restructured the page.

Stunt Double seems like an obvious contender for trivia, as In-Universe examples aside it's mostly a list of "this actor used a stunt double". Its opposite No Stunt Double is already marked as trivia, besides.

It seems like, as an Audience Reaction concerned with critical and fanbase reception vs. ratings, Quietly Performing Sister Show should properly be considered either Trivia or YMMV or both, but is currently flagged as neither.

I don't mess around with the forums much; is this the right place to bring this up? If not, what's the best way to handle it?

Thanks!

Stunt Double is omnipresent enough that listing examples is pretty pointless anyway.

Added Stunt Double to the crowner.

Also, should DVD Commentary and Limited Special Collector's Ultimate Edition be made trivia? Neither appears in the work themselves, and similar "DVD extra" items such as Deleted Scene are also marked as trivia.

Should Dead Fic be categorized as be Trivia? The related tropes of Schedule Slip and Series Hiatus already are.

Probably. It's a meta concept.

Can anyone call items? A bunch of them look ready, although they all conspicuously lack a timestamp. In fact, a new crowner after this one's finished wouldn't be a bad idea.

Internet Counterattack is currently listed as a Trivia trope, but a TRS thread decided to make it In Universe Examples Only due to the nature of the trope. Does this override the Trivia declaration?

Um, no? Both are info found within the work.

Nay, I don't think these are Trivia.

Added the various Bonus Material items to the crowner (DVD Commentary, Limited Special Collector's Ultimate Edition, Feelies, Pre-Order Bonus).

Did California Doubling and Doubling for London come up before?

Bonus Material items are packaged with the work, and you're calling it external to the work?

I think this crowner should be finished before we add anything else.

^^ They're extraneous material not found within the work itself. If that's not enough to be trivia, where does Deleted Scene being marked as trivia fit in?

Not every Deleted Scene is packaged with the work. They aren't all external to the work. DVD Commentary is an excellent example of a Bonus Material that comes with the work.

Adding another trope to the crowner, Shoot the Money. This trope describes when productions get their money's worth out of an expensive element. For example, if a production spends a quarter of their budget on a single set, then that set is going to show up a lot because of that.

[up][up] What prevents TV from including bonus features? I've seen several movies with pop-up commentary (movie trivia included as a Speech Bubble during the film) and commercial interruption.

Holy shit this crowner is huge. We need to finish this before adding more stuff.

Crown Description:

The Trivia category is for narrative conventions that cannot be determined from the final product itself. These are details of production and behind-the-scenes events that influenced the end result of the product.

This crowner is used in conjunction with this thread. Please post in the thread before adding tropes to this list.

Previous crowner here. Make a new crowner after 40 tropes.
