Story Tropes

[facetofcathy]

I posted my ideas for the story tropes page on the Fanlore Sandbox.  Have a look, make changes or comments as you like, and if we can agree on a new structure for the page, we can then discuss potential name changes.  The original story trope discussion in this community is here.

I would prefer comments be consolidated on Fanlore itself for this, as this is primarily a discussion of coding the new arrangement.  I will be around later today to see what ideas people have, but anyone is welcome to go and rework the page--we can always use the history tab to look at previous versions.

I'm on my way out and only had a second to look at this, but I thought it looked very good. I'd add: College AU under domesticity. And the Fuck or die trope.

I'll be back in a couple of hours to really take a look.

Thanks!!

It occurs to me that I didn't even consider Filk tropes during the earlier discussion. Those are so different it's hard to even parse how to categorize them while looking at the list of story tropes.

I know, discussion should go at Fanlore, but I'm not sure how to even bring up the subject. Hmm, maybe I should spend a few minutes brainstorming filk trope concepts & see what I come up with. (I don't think they'll mesh well with the story tropes. And a lot of filk tropes have never specifically been labeled, other than the vague genre concepts like "humor" or "ballad.")
