Before making a single edit, Tropedia EXPECTS our site policy and manual of style to be followed. Failure to do so may result in deletion of contributions and blocks of users who refuse to learn to do so. Our policies can be reviewed here.
All images MUST now have proper attribution, those who neglect to assign at least the "fair use" licensing to an image may have it deleted. All new pages should use the preloadable templates feature on the edit page to add the appropriate basic page markup. Pages that don't do this will be subject to deletion, with or without explanation.
All new trope pages will be made with the "Trope Workshop" found on the "Troper Tools" menu and worked on until they have at least three examples. The Trope workshop specific templates can then be removed and it will be regarded as a regular trope page after being moved to the Main namespace. THIS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW, REPORT ANY ISSUES TO Janna2000, SelfCloak or RRabbit42. DON'T MAKE PAGES MANUALLY UNLESS A TEMPLATE IS BROKEN, AND REPORT IT THAT IS THE CASE. PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP.
Executive Meddling: For an Animated Adaptation that was never made. This became the subject of much contention between Sohmer, DeSouza, and Tele Toon. Blind Ferret have been at it since 2007, with limited success beyond a set of shorts. Then Tele Toon struck them up on an offer--and then stated their plans to completely mangle the source material,Cultural Translation, convincing Sohmer and co. to leave. In 2011, Tele Toon created a copyright-friendly ripoff, and a hackeneyed one at that, of what would have been the Animated Adaptation (entitled "The Dating Man"), spurring Blind Ferret Entertainment (along with Randy Milholland) to get a pilot produced independently.
