All The Tropes is a community-edited wiki website dedicated to discussing the Creators, Works, and Tropes -- the people, projects and patterns of creative writing. We are a community-edited wiki website dedicated to discussing all kinds of entertainment: television, literature, movies, video games, and more.

Tropes are tools of the trade for writers; They are devices and conventions that we the audience expect to see again and again. Whether tropes are cliche or just standard for the genre is largely a matter of writing quality and personal opinion. But tropes will always exist, as they often reflect life -- and we exist to document them, play with them, and generally have fun with them.

This wiki is called All The Tropes because we want to accept discussion over patterns in all forms of media, and keep censorship to a minimum. We want to encourage creative thought, discuss new works, and welcome everyone to play around. This is not Wikipedia, this is a site for fans.

We hope to educate and entertain -- to be both informal and informative. And we hope that you'll join us.

So read, edit, have fun, and play nice!
