Are we already making sure people stay on top of the TVTropes page? I don't mind if a bit of it is different from the canon we're making and it's a great place to mine for new ideas, but it could get a bit complicated once we're writing if the TVT page has come up with a drastically alternate canon.
Also I think the confessions page should start modifying itself closer to the canon after we start writing. For now though it's fine. (Plus I volunteered to do that myself earlier on, I'm just letting people know my intention so they can speak now or forever hold their peace.)

I haven't been paying as much attention tonight, but I'll go over it tomorrow. The recap page is what you're going to need to be concerned with.
Also-- someone added a late Associate for the 11th I think we should as it is a nod to Community (Caroline Decker). (And I can explain how Annie even got an ID that said Caroline Decker in a world in which IS is thing, if you like.)

Yep, Community nods are a must.
TVTropes is a bear to go over, but I'll skim it before going to bed. We can make necessary corrections/absorb cool new ideas tomorrow.
I hope the TVTropes people don't mind. If they want they could totally come help us over here too. We're going to need more writers.

I'm from TVtropes. I created some of the page including the Quiet Men and Ms. Patch. I created some info about Brooke Rhapsody too. I hope it fits.

This whole thing reminds me of the tell of Captain Walker from Mad Max

I'm from TV Tropes too. Added in a couple random tidbits-some catch phrases, 7th Inspector's outfit, Neg!Rory, the Giza Speech. That's about it, really.

I haven't really added much to the TVTropes page since I made the episode skeleton, it's mostly filled itself out. I think in the end, the confessions & TVTropes are going to differ from the episodes we write, particularly on TVTropes, because everyone's going to have an idea they want to make "canon". The important thing, to me, is making sure that we know what we're sticking to and keep what we have consistent. TVTropes is very fluid and people are going to modify it on a whim, regardless of what our canon says.  Once we have our episodes all written, we can thin out the TVTropes page to match what we've created. |

I'm letting a lot of non-canon confessions through because people put time into making them and I'd feel bad rejecting them. It's more of a place where you can pick and chose ideas to use rather than an accurate reflection of canon. There are some good episode ideas and character interpretations.

While TVTropes' main pages for IS are pretty well fleshed out by this point and its canon has settled down into internal consistency, there's plenty of room for contributions to other existing categories: And for those feeling especially creative, some categories are awaiting their first entries (as of this writing): The beauty of TV Tropes as an avenue for collaboration is that it requires only short "examples" rather than full-blown encyclopedic entries. Everyone who's in on the joke will read between the lines to get it. |
