Is this an example?

Do you have trouble remembering the difference between Deathbringer the Adorable and Fluffy the Terrible?

Do you have trouble recognizing when you've written a Zero-Context Example?

Not sure if you really have a Badass Bookworm or just a guy who likes to read?

Well, this is the thread for you. We're here to help you will all the finer points of example writing. If you have any questions, we can answer them. Don't be afraid. We don't bite. We all just want to make the wiki a better place for everyone.


Useful Tips:

  • Make sure that the example makes sense to both people who don't know the work AND don't know the trope.
    • Wrong: The Mentor: Kevin is this to Bob in the first episode.
    • Right: The Mentor: Kevin takes Bob under his wing in the first episode and teaches him the ropes of being a were-chinchilla.
  • Never just put the trope title and leave it at that.
    • Wrong: Badass Adorable
    • Right: Badass Adorable: Xavier, the group's cute little mascot, defeats three raging elephants with both hands tied behind his back using only an uncooked spaghetti noodle.
  • When is normally far less important than How.
    • Wrong: Big Bad: Of the first season.
    • Right: Big Bad: The heroes have to defeat the Mushroom Man lest the entirety of Candy Land's caramel supply be turned into fungus.
  • A character name is not an explanation.

For best results, please include why you think an example is iffy in your first post.

Also, many oft-misused tropes/topics have their own threads, such as Surprisingly Realistic Outcome (here) and Fan-Preferred Couple (here). Tropers are better able to give feedback on examples you bring up to specific threads. We don't discuss Complete Monster or Magnificent Bastard examples; please don't bring them up.

Does Sand in My Eyes allow just "I wasn't crying!" when they obviously were? Or does it have to involve a fake reason?

  • Hades II: At one point, Melione can hear Eris sniffle and then ask if she's been weeping, although Eris quickly denies it, "No! And... what if I was, huh?"

[1] i personally think that Halloween Episodes should be... well, that; episodes. if it's a movie instsallment in a series and it's one of, if not the only Halloween one, then it's fair game.

if it is one movie centered around Halloween, and it is a standalone movie, then i think it no longer applies, and that is fair ground to remove it.

but idk i'm not a trope expert :P

The "episodes" designation is confusing. I'd argued a similar viewpoint on the draft for Wintertime Episode, but nobody else seemed to agree.

Reposting: I was wondering if I could add this in Ultra Magnus's section in Transformers: Generation One - Autobots - 1986 to 1987: Idiot Ball: In an arc in the Marvel UK comics going from ...The Harder They Die! to Distant Thunder!, he instantly believes Megatron's claim that Optimus is a Decepticon imposter.

They try to Hand Wave it by having Magnus become suspicious in the third part but that doesn't change the fact that he should have realized something was up right away and not instantly believing Megatron.
