I voted for the Gossip Girl one because I think it's the best illustration of the trope, especially given the series name- Not having even watched the series, the image gets at the "cattiness/soap opera and played for fanservice" nature of the trope, which is reinforced by the series that it comes from.

Also, since this is a fanservice trope, I'm... iffy on any example that involves underage participants (i.e. the Dorothy and Alice one and probably any of the anime examples).

The artist gave us permission to use the Dorothy/Alice pic.

[up] That, coupled with it having the best ratio and by far the most votes in favour, are we ready to close the poll?

[up][up] I'm glad the artist gave the permission. Now if we could use the suggested caption from post #21 and we can call it a day.

I can't think of anything good for a signature.

Go for it; just make sure to put in a link to the actual artwork somewhere and credit the artist.

You know, when I suggested it, it never occurred to me that it was anything but some random fan-art. I didn't even think of whether we would need permission.

Glad this worked out, but I guess I got to be more careful.

Alright, I'm trying something a little different with the format of the connection to the artist. How's it look?

Also, the Image Links page is done.

[up] The image and caption for this page is perfect. I also like how you put the artist permission beneath the caption.

No to this caption. It is bad enough that we choose an image of underaged girls to demonstrate a trope which is all about fanservice and Perverse Sexual Lust.

[up] This. And the "image courtesy of" part should be the only part of the caption.

I'm fine with losing the NCIS quote; as far as the underaged part goes, I don't get that from the pic itself...I couldn't even tell you how old Dorothy was supposed to be in the original Wizard.

That's true. And while Alice is stated to be 7, wasn't that only in the second book (Through the looking glass) which is almost a different story beyond the use of Alice due to the Negative Continuity nature of the wonderland stories.

Both were given ages later, but in those first stories, they could possibly be any age you want them to be (though likely still under 20).

And no, I'm not saying this out of nervousness for suggesting a pic of two famous underage heroines in the first place.sad

No sirree.

I'd like to point out that there are numerous variations of those two characters with different ages. Especially in adult material. I'm guessing. They certainly don't look their canon ages in that pic.

[up] I was about to point that out. That said, I guess you can argue that the caption isn't that good that we should risk it.

Idea: "Because just Good Old Fisticuffs would have been boring."

Perhaps something that lampshades the fanservicey-ness of the pic?

No matter what the exact age of the characters is, it is definitly below the age where calling them hot would be Ok. And they don't look grown up in the image.

I don't care how good an image illustrates a trope, if the characters or actors shown in this image are underaged using this image on a fanservice page is bad taste. And lampshading the fanservice aspect is even worse.

You know, considering the kerfluffle about the pages and tropes that have been cut, I'm starting to wonder if we should go ahead and go with the Gossip Girl pic and save the trouble of the Dorothy/Alice pic being pulled. I never heard anything from the other mods about it.

That may be for the best. It's good to play it safe in this case.

Yeah, as much as I hate to override a crowner, playing it safe in this case is probably the best route to take. I'm switching the Dorothy/Alice pic out for the Gossip Girl pic and moving that one to the Image Links page so we don't lose it completely. Locking up.
