== By, For, and About Fans ==
The TV Tropes Wiki and, subsequently, All The Tropes were both started by fans. People, that is, who ''like'' stuff. You will see that articles work better here when they are about something you like. (Yes, even the [[Darth Wiki]] pages.) This is a little bit of a shock to folks that are used to cynicism about the media. It takes a minute or two to get used to.
[[All The Tropes:What we aren't#We are not a "reception wiki"|People who come looking for a place to bash stuff and rant about how ''dumb'' this or that is are in for some disappointment.]] Here, anyway. There are plenty of places on the 'Net to bash stuff. Shouldn't be too hard to find one.
This doesn't mean, of course, that every article is all sweetness and light, just that the articles trend more toward [[Constructive Criticism|constructive criticisms]] than toward cynical bashing. More toward what does work, and how it works, than what didn't work and why it didn't.
