Have a question about how the TVTropes wiki works? No one knows this community better than the people in it, so ask away! Ask the Tropers is the page you come to when you have a question burning in your brain and the support pages didn't help. It's not for everything, though.

Works Pages Are A Free Launch (meaning you don't need any permission to set up a main trope page for your work). Just make sure you read that page & read up on TV Tropes policies, rules & formatting). Also remember The Fic May Be Yours But The Trope Page Is Ours — you can't add any YMMV pages for your work, you can't blank it, you don't own the page, you can't remove any YMMV tropes added by others, and you can't take it down.

Know the Staff tells you who the main staff are. However, you don't need their say so to make a work page since Works' Pages Are a Free Launch

How to Create a Work's Page can help get you started. Since it's for something you've written however, I suggest you be mindful of the part of that page stating "You're allowed to trope your own works. Just make sure you understand that once the page is out there, you won't have any control or ownership over it — anyone is allowed to edit it, and any editor will have the same rights and privileges as you. This is why it's a bad idea to make Word of God statements for your own work on its wiki page. You are also not allowed to create or add items to a YMMV subpage or related subpages, and you may not review your own work or add recommendations for your own work."

Also be mindful of The Fic May Be Yours, but the Trope Page Is Ours

Or to make it brief, you can write such a page at certain conditions.
