::While I admire the idea, we're a wiki on a wiki farm, not a wiki farm ourselves. However, you always could help our insanely benevolent Orain overlords out by recommending this wiki farm service to people who want to do that and don't like the limitations of Wikia (our main competitor in this regard).

::Well, my main concern is that we find something to offer that tvtropes doesn't. It doesn't have to be this, but if we don't think of something we'll never overcome tvtropes' massive head start or attract enough people to match their advantage in community. I don't think what I'm proposing would take away from the core mission of this wiki. There'a a lot of interesting analysis that could be done by focusing on individual elements rather than the work as a whole. In fact, many tropes are only applicable to individual elements. Many tropes, for example, are character tropes. If we focus on a specific character, we could really reflect on what purpose he serves in the story, his relationships with other characters and the associated tropes, and the tropes concerning his character arc in the story. This, I think, would be much more meaningful than "Somewhere in this ten book series there's a Knight In Sour Armour who wears a Badass Longcoat and had a Crowning Moment of Awesome.
