While it's perfectly permissible to make a page for one's own work and trope it, this is not a place to write vanity articles or puff pieces. Also, since this is a community website, no one is allowed to remove civil criticism or objective fact from these pages, even if the work is something they hold high opinion of.<ref>This ''specifically'' includes, but is not limited to, works that [[All The Tropes:Contact us|members of the wiki's moderation staff]] have created.</ref> We do have a YMMV subspace for subjective opinions, but this is not to become an edit war zone where any one editor tries to force their opinions or beliefs on others. We will tempban people who turn YMMV pages into edit-war zones, and in the past we have done exactly that.
 
For the same reasons, we also do not permit authors to recommend their own stories on fanfic recommendation pages, or add them to pages like [[So Bad It's Horrible]], [[So Bad It's Good]] or any other similar [[Audience Reaction]] page. The author is not the audience; any such additions are considered to be dishonest self-promotion and are subject to immediate deletion/reversion.
We also do not permit advertisement of any sort, such as spam, either by bot or human editor produced, and it will be removed with prejudice and the poster tempbanned.
