== Snowclones that work ==
Despite all common sense, there are some naming patterns that just work. We're not sure why. We're not sure how, but experience
* [[Our Monsters Are Different|Our X Are Different]]: This family of tropes focuses on how certain fantasy creatures are portrayed '''differently''' by each work that uses them; it is '''not''' a place to simply list works that include creature X. For that reason, not using the snowclone seems to cause trope decay and [[X Just X]] when we've studied the tropes. Despite being a snowclone, the tropes work better with the naming pattern than without it. This is not true for variations on the pattern that don't use the word different.
