TV Tropes is a wiki whose mission is to catalogue and cross-reference recurrent plot devices, archetypes, and tropes in the media. "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. Quote from "TV Tropes"

  • TV Tropes, also known as Television Tropes and Idioms, is a wiki that collects and expands on various conventions and devices (tropes) found within creative works. Since its establishment in 2004, the site has gone from covering only television and film tropes to also covering those in a number of other media such as literature, comics, video games, and even things such as advertisements and toys. It is known for approaching topics in a casual and humorous tone—cyberpunk author Bruce Sterling once described its style as a "wry fanfic analysis."
  • TV Tropes is a wiki that catalogs the variety of devices based on shared understanding or experience, called tropes, used in storytelling to quickly get an idea across to an audience. The site started with tropes used in television, but it has since expanded to cover all storytelling media, including fanfic and web originals such as the PPC. It is known for being highly addictive thanks to the abundance of shiny, tempting links on any given page.

This is much like dismissing gun powder as "just a few chemicals mixed together and nothing more." While the ability to wield such destructive power originated with the ancients Carl Jung and Joseph Campbell, its existence was rediscovered during Buffy The Vampire Slayer by Fast Eddie, who recorded his insipience on the site's wiki, hidden on a forgotten little webpage in fanfictional backwaters, aided by young male nerds who contributed to its creation. In a desperate attempt to monetize volunteer efforts, the website later created and detonated a licensing clause to their Terms Of Use page requiring all contributors to grant the site irrevocable, exclusive ownership of their contributions, annihilating nearly all sapient life on the website (not that there was much of it to begin with). More than a thousand pages later, the spirits of the naive readers trapped within the website’s grasp are now set free by the valor of a young /who/ wiki that advises you to never go there because it’s a pretty fucking useless and stupid place and that it just might ruin Doctor Who for you forever if you do. Or what the hell, see if I care - be an idiot and embrace the void.

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. File:Placeholder
