""MLP is so exceptionally crossover-conductive" is not a trope. "Some works are exceptionally crossover-conductive" could be a trope, of which MLP would be one example Ã¢â‚¬â€ except it's not a trope, because ALL works are crossover-conductive. That's the logic behind your Rule 50. The number of Fan Fic crossovers a work has is only limited by the number of Fan Fics it has, and MLP has 200 billion of them."

You seem to suggest that all works are ''equally'' crossover conductive, which they are most certainly not. It is an easily observable fact that some works encourage crossovers more than others, which is to say, that the number of crossovers is not directly proportionate to the number of fics. And, of course, that hyperbole at the end would suggest a bit less than 33 fanfics written per human being on this planet. We'll get there eventually, I'm sure, but it's a bit of a premature announcement.

Also, the reason I created this YKTTW is so I could get some help adding examples. WorkPagesAreAFreeLaunch; I don't know whether that also applies to ''lists'' of works.

"But list only examples that have pages - or create pages for all examples - else we wind up with unsupported tropeless assertions like "Fluttershy tends to be cast as Dragonborn.""

I blame Fandom Myopia; if you had been there to observe the Skyrim hype at its height, you'd have grown tired of seeing fanart of Fluttershy in a ram-horned iron helmet shouting [-Yay!-] So, to me, the statement borders on SelfEvident, but thanks for warning me that it isn't so for everyone.
