I don't think we have anything geared to that, no. Have you tried asking in Inhibit fan spaces?

There is the New Work Page Workshop Thread, for general help making a new work page.

Also obligatory How to Create a Work's Page

You could make a draft for the work in the Trope Launch Pad (with a notice that it's not a trope) and get help in the comments adding tropes there, then when you're done, copy/paste the contents to the right page and nuke the draft.

I do some cleanup and then I enjoy shows you probably think are cringe.

I'd suggest starting with the broad strokes. You can always come back to update the page if you remember or stumble upon new tropes; that's what I tend to do. And there's always the chance that other fans will find the page and expand it.

That chance is substantially increased if you crosswick your examples; theoretically this is required, but it's not really super enforced.

as How to Create a Work's Page says, the bare minimum for a new page is three tropes. when i started Vigor that's basically all i did, came back to it later and added stuff that i remembered since then, and sent it off to indexes that looked appropriate. give it more exposure and someone'll eventually stumble upon it and add to it.

Alright, I’m taking a little bit of each suggestion— for now, the draft is a sandbox, and I’ve asked in the new page workshop thread for feedback. Once I feel confident in launching it, I’ll put it up and start crosswicking.

It’s not about the desti-something, it’s about the whatever.
