I'm not sure which tropes on the page are tropes of future events that haven't happened yet. However, just to give the author a heads-up, the only tropes that should appear on a page are those tropes that cover events that have already happened.
Also, the Characters page has a lot of trope names that are spoiler tagged. Trope names should never be spoiler tagged. The general rule of thumb is that if the entire example needs to be completely tagged, it shouldn't be put on the page at all.
Edited by Wyldchyld If my post doesn't mention a giant flying sperm whale with oversized teeth and lionfish fins for flippers, it just isn't worth reading.
Please note that I've gone ahead and cleaned up this page. As I've made a lot of edits, here is the edit reason:
Tried to clean up a page with a lot wrong with it. Spoiler tagging over use (the page is almost entirely white). Zero Context Examples. Example Indentation. Examples Are Not Arguable. Word Cruft. Gushing. Trope misuse. No spoilers above the example line. Removed empty sections. Tropes shouldn't rely on quotes or people visiting other pages to figure out how its being used. Tropes should only be listed based on events that have happened, not future events authors claim will happen eventually, so removed those (work is only up to Chapter 8, which the author claims is not complete and stops mid-scene, so removed all references to events beyond the half of Chapter 8 that's online). Some entries seem to be author commentaries about their own work rather than trope entries, so also removed those. Please see Administrivia and How To Write An Example.
