For writers, artists, producers, etc., a "Career Killer" is a work that ends up being more harmful than helpful to their careers:
* [[Creator Killer]]: a work which threatens the viability or harms the reputation of its writer(s) or producer(s).
* [[Franchise Killer]]: a work within a long - running franchise that destroys hopes for further sequels.
* [[Genre Killer]]: a work that results in an entire subgenre falling out of fashion.
* [[Ink Stain Adaptation]]: a work within a long - running franchise that colors the public perception of the franchise as a whole.
* [[Star -Derailing Role]]: a work that damages the reputation of performers taking part in it.
 
Taking a new job can also destroy a career:
* [[George Jetson Job Security]]: a job that comes with a boss who likes to fire people for the most minor mistake.
* [[Kicked Upstairs]]: a character is deliberately promoted to a high - ranking but unimportant role, in order to remove them from their current, more important role.
* [[Promoted to Scapegoat]]: a character is deliberately promoted to a seemingly important role, in order to use them as [[The Scapegoat]].
* [[Reassigned to Antarctica]]: a reassignment to a remote location intended as a punishment or to simply get rid of a character.
Line 23 ⟶ 21:
* [[Jail Bait]]: to a [[Lovable Sex Maniac]] or [[Dirty Old Man]], temptation can be the biggest threat.
 
=== Of course, there are also career moves that can get someone killed: ===
* [[Retirony]]: A [[Mauve Shirt]] who has held a dangerous job for many years dies within days of their retirement date.
* [[Uriah Gambit]]: a character is deliberately given a particularly dangerous reassignment in hopes they won't come back.
