Okay, I'm currently at 666 wicks as of typing. So far, the wicks can be described as:
- Things that can be moved to First-Episode Twist with no issue.
- Things that no longer fit First-Episode Twist as they were made with the spoiler aspect in mind.
- Things I can't tell if they're proper examples or not.
- Sinkholes of this flavor:
Serial Killer: Alice kills Bob in his sleep. She later kills more people.
This thread has been in the wick cleanup stage for a while, but it never got starred.
I got a rock for Halloween.Small bump. 596 wicks
remain, might try going through the Main/ ones myself later.
I've been wanting to get to this thread after I'm done with the Literary Agent Hypothesis thread, but I currently have a cold, so I can't do much when it comes to TRS cleanup.
I got a rock for Halloween.I forgot about this one. I'll see what I can do tonight.
Working on: Author Appeal | Sandbox | Troper WallAlright, down to 489 by tackling the Anime/ section (or what was left of it? Idk) and some of the smaller ones until hitting Literature/. 487 if you count the to-be-cut ghost wick.

Working on: Author Appeal | Sandbox | Troper WallIs this an example?
Blade Runner: Blade Runners and LAPD:
- First-Episode Spoiler:Well, first five minutes spoiler. He is established to be a Replicant early on, a fact which was left out of marketing.
Definitely an example. The marketing very conspicuously avoided mentioning that fact, even though the movie itself revealed it in literally the first five minutes. It was a clever meta-twist that mostly worked because of assumptions and marketing; the twist wasn't quite the twist itself, it was that it was the core of the movie. People were expecting a major reveal at the end.
The question is whether it needs spoiler tags. Because, again, it's a meta-twist that treats months of advertising as part of the story.
Writing a post-post apocalypse LitRPG on RR. Also fanfic stuff.I moved it to the new name. I removed the spoiler tags because I don't think something revealed in the beginning of the work itself should be spoiled even its a twist / not expected.
Macron's notes
Crown Description:
Whether certain examples are "spoilers" is too debatable, especially when compared to "twist".

Alright.
Just a note: if being a First-Episode Twist is irrelevant to the example, remove the wick. These end up as misleading sinkholes.
