One of the authors of the fic (chelonianmobile) wrote a good chunk of the page. Did you send any notifiers? When I messaged them before about not adding YMMV tropes, they were pretty receptive.

I was also concerned about the fanfiction violating 5P since it includes graphic pedophilia scenes, but that might not be an issue since it obviously depicts the pedophilia as bad and is thus not pandering. I reported it a while ago out of concern, though. A cleanup to see if it's too explicit in its discussions of rape might suffice, though.

I've read a good chunk of the first story (though I advise not to read it if you're sensitive to abuse - it's uncomfortably realistic, and even as somebody who can tolerate dark stories it was distressing to read...which made me want to read more), so I could help with cleanup (though I'd need to be in the right state of mind).

That said: maybe a cleanup thread for fanfics in general wouldn't hurt? Due to the increased risk of Auto-Erotic Troping, often from people who mostly joined the site to Entry Pimp their work, they tend to have issues one way or another.

Edited by mightymewtron I do some cleanup and then I enjoy shows you probably think are cringe.

The Trivia page includes an in-universe example of a Trivia item (meaning it actually should go on the main page, assuming it's even valid) plus an example for a trope that isn't even Trivia (meaning it doesn't belong on any Trivia page). The latter is also misuse (Truth in Television is about the things that are truth in television, not works that include said things that are truth in television).

Edit: The YMMV page begins with an in-universe example, plus it contains an out-of-universe example that begins with "the authors seem to...", which seems fishy on a page edited by the author.

Edited by GastonRabbit You can't just say "perchance".
