Have a question about how the TVTropes wiki works? No one knows this community better than the people in it, so ask away! Ask the Tropers is the page you come to when you have a question burning in your brain and the support pages didn't help.
It's not for everything, though. For a list of all the resources for your questions, click here. You can also go to this Directory thread

Axed the RL section. Real life does not have "endings" in the sense fiction does. It's misuse of the trope. We also frown on adding tropes about real people - trope their works, comminalities in the roles, and other fictional bits. Don't trope the artist/actor/writer.

Ending tropes and/or other storyline tropes can't really apply to people, right?
In Cynical Brit, some guys recently added Earn Your Happy Ending, based entirely about the creator's personal life, and I had removed it the first time thinking so.
...But Earn Your Happy Ending page itself has a real life section, including some people. So should the trope be removed from the Cynical Brit page or kept (since there's been discussion about creators not needing tropes about their personal lives in the past)?
