Tropes are devices and conventions that a writer can reasonably rely on as being present in the audience members' minds and expectations. On the whole, tropes are not clichés. The word clichéd means "stereotyped and trite." In other words, dull and uninteresting. We are not looking for dull and uninteresting entries. We are here to recognize tropes and play with them, not to make fun of them.

The wiki is called "TV Tropes" because TV is where we started. Over the course of a few years, our scope has crept out to include other media. Tropes transcend television. They reflect life. Since a lot of art, especially the popular arts, does its best to reflect life, tropes are likely to show up everywhere.

We are not Wikipedia. We're a buttload more informal. We encourage breezy language and original thought. There Is No Such Thing As Notability, and no citations are needed. If your entry cannot gather any evidence by the Wiki Magic, it will just wither and die. Until then, though, it will be available through the Main Tropes Index.

This is a site that talks all about "tropes", as said it's set out like wikipedia but more chatty, and much more addictive. You will spend hours of your life simply clicking between links. Seriously this thing is like heroin. For an example, check out this xkcd comic about it:

So, you checked out the TvTropes link in my latest Oblivion's Joy post, didn't you? It's very old. Still addicting, though.

I read TvTropes before it got referenced by hipsters.

Read while you can, before the shutter shades come in to trenditize it.

Actually, I was linked to it a few days before your post ^^

I currently have five tabs of TvTropes open. They multiply like rats...
