Tennie Wrote:A couple more places that I think ought to hear the message about TVT's problems and ATT's existance in response to those problems would be SpaceBattles and its spinoff site, Sufficient Velocity (more specifically, their creative writing-related sections). SpaceBattles recently reinstated registration (they had to take it down for a couple of months due to an annoyingly persistent spammer, but that problem now seems to have been dealt with--knock on wood!), so that shouldn't be a problem. Besides, every so often someone would post a thread related to TVT, so I figured that they should hear about TVT's copyright issues and how ATT won't do anything like that!If you want to get people interested in ATT, use it (gotta eat our own lunch if we want anyone else to) and talk about how good it is. Save the trash talk of other tropes sites for Something Awful.
IMHO, of course.
EDIT:
Refresh my memory, please...
Looking at http://allthetropes.orain.org/wiki/Special:WantedPages]the Wanted Pages list, I see dozens if not hundreds of pages that could be filled by copying a description from Wikipedia and building the list of tropes or works from the pages that link to the wanted pages. Would doing so be legal? Would it be a good idea?
