\'\'Don\'t just dismiss that as being \
to:
\\\'\\\'Don\\\'t just dismiss that as being \\\"fanon\\\" without any justification, that\\\'s kind of aggravating\\\'\\\'

You gave the justification yourself. You said that that was your own personal conception of how it worked, and it included speculation on the future of the comic. By definition, that is fanon.

\\\'\\\'Also more and more I\\\'m thinking you really should do this on the MSPA Wiki. The idea behind the Wiki is a largely factual place whereas TV Tropes is more getting into a character\\\'s personality or something. I can\\\'t really describe it but there\\\'s a distinctly different tone to each and this page definitely has a tone more befitting a wiki.\\\'\\\'

\\\'\\\'Basically TV Tropes and Wikis do different things, and what you want to do is definitely more befitting of a wiki project.\\\'\\\'

So by your logic, we should get rid of the UsefulNotes pages, since they are also strictly factual and not precisely tropes? Or the Music page for Homestuck and many other works, which catalogues associated music without providing any trope-related analysis? Or the GrandUnifiedTimeline, which is organized in almost exactly the same fashion as this page, and served as a source of inspiration? Or half the things in JustForFun?

In short, the LawOfWikiExpansion would like to have a word with you.
