As mentioned on every Edit page, all contributions to All The Tropes are considered to be released under the Creative Commons Attribution Share Alike license. That means anyone who reads your work on ATT can use it anywhere else, as long as they give ATT credit and let people who read their work do the same thing - and that's all.

You are not giving up the right to be known as the original author of your contribution - in fact, the wiki software keeps a record of what you wrote, if you're logged it when you contribute it to ATT.
Your words are still yours, to do with as you will. You're just giving the world a license to use them.
