All The Tropes:About
All The Tropes is a wiki where we discuss the trends and patters in all forms of media, that we call Tropes. We're a place to hang out and chat about the television shows you love, a place to discover new movies to watch, and a place to offer literary criticism and analysis of pop culture. And we're happy that you want to be a part of our community.
If you're looking for the help section, it's over at Help:Editing.
