[[Administrivia/WelcomeToTVTropes Welcome, good sirs, to TV Tropes!]]\\
Come on in, we'll show you the ropes!\\
\\
''What is this about?''\\
This wiki is, without a doubt,\\
a catalog of the tricks of the trade \\
for writing fiction and giving of aid. \\
We dip into the cauldron of story, \\
whistle up a hearty spoonful without worry\\
and splosh it down right in front\\
for you to eat and wash down with a grunt.\\
\\
{{Trope}}s are conventions and devices\\
that a writer can rely on without rising prices \\
as they are present in the audience's expectations.\\
On the whole, [[TropesAreNotBad tropes are not clichéd complications]]. \\
The word clichéd means "stereotyped and trite". \\
In other words, dull, the audience's blight. \\
We are not looking for entries that bore. \\
We are here to recognize tropes and much more\\
play with them, too, not to make fun\\
of everything interesting under the sun.\\
\\
The wiki is called "[[{{UsefulNotes/Television}} TV]] Tropes" \\
because that is where we started, before outreaching scopes.\\
Over the course of a few years, this encyclopedia\\
has crept out to include all types of other media. \\
Tropes transcend television.\\
They exist in real life, as we will be quick to envision.\\
Since art does its best to life reflect, \\
tropes are likely to show up everywhere with respect.\\
\\
We are not a stuffy encyclopedic wiki spectacular. \\
We're ''buttloads'' more informal (we use the vernacular!).\\
Administrivia/ThereIsNoSuchThingAsNotability, and no citations needed.\\
If your entry doesn't grow by [[WikiMagic magic]], consider warnings heeded.\\
It will just wither and die, a trope still theoretical.\\
But it will still be available through the [[{{Tropes}} index]] (all alphabetical).\\
We encourage breezy language and original thought\\
(and won't mind to the occasional snark, so don't get distraught).\\
\\
Click in the menu on "Troperville"\\
on the upper left of any page if you will\\
to find the places where tropers can gather\\
and write what they want and blather and blather.\\
\\
Go on, have fun. We'll give you some credit.\\
We'll be along soon, we just have to click "Edit."
