If I recall correctly, there was discussion somewhere about getting some tropes on the page, since technically a works page with no tropes is forbidden.

e: Yeah, this came up in the content policy thread. The sandbox is part of that effort.

Yeah, I came across something similar for Sandbox.Baldr Sky while perusing old 5P threads, but I checked and that one was cleared as well.

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

Actually, that looks like a good "solution"? I mean, there is no point in having the page if it doesn't have tropes. And if it does have tropes it might lead to discussion threads that aren't welcome. The trope descriptions itself are harmless, so making them available in a sandbox looks like a good alternative to completely cutting the page.

Yeah, the sandbox exists since we don't technically allow tropeless work pages anymore and were trying to add tropes to the page. Don't cutlist it.

Hmmm... that reminds me, I guess we can trope pages for content that Crosses the Line Twice as long as it's in Sandbox pages, huh?

Maybe I'll do one for Dr. Lamb. (cue Evil Gloating)

^ I think you'd still need to run that by the P5. The point is that it needs to have tropes that aren't just related to sex, and it can't have explicit underage sex at all (or at least nothing that could be taken as pedophile fanservice).

This needs to be discussed by the 5P thread, so closing.
