0k, this is probably going to annoy a few people but I am in the process of sorting out the Literary Agent Hypothesis page. It was an absolute and total mess and the description still needs more cutting and clarification. Essentially, this is an effort to get everything that shouldn't be there off the page and moved to where it belongs. There is a mountain of stuff that doesn't in any way fit this trope's original or apparent purpose.

It seems that a lot of people have become very confused as to what this trope is about and, looking at the way the description was before I went in, I can't really blame them. It meandered all over the place and the grammar was hideous.

In short (and despite several hours work), it is absolutely filled with canon examples that absolutely should not be there. This is a trope based around cataloguing a certain type of fannon conspiracy theory. It should only contain examples of things that fans have theorised to be Based On A True Story and not things that the author writes as though they were true, or works where the creator pretends the work is a true account and this apparent basis in truth is a fundamental part of the story's canon.

If anyone wants to help me, I'm splitting this trope in three.

• Actual examples of fandoms that have voiced the Hypothesis that an author is, in fact, a Literary Agent or Ghostwriter for the characters or a witness will, of course remain here (If we can find any on the page!).

• I am moving examples where it is actually Canon that a fictional story is a recount of real events (as with Narnia and Animorphs) to a new trope called Direct Line To The Author.

• In Universe examples are being moved to A True Story In My World.

I hope that not too many people are annoyed by this, but it is a clearout that has been needed for a really serious length of time. The page cannot remain in the state it is in now and reverting it to the way it was would be absolute madness.
