All The Tropes Wiki Project, Part X

[SelfCloak]

So... I have this request on my Talk page.

How do I diplomatically say "I don't have time to read the fanfic, find the author's email address, and let him know of the existence of ATT"? (Because, if one does something for one, one should do the same thing for all, and nobody has time to read all fanfic...)

That same guy asked me to read the fanfic twice in two months.

I would say that it's a pretty big task to read a fanfic for finding tropes (time being an issue), and that he shouldn't expect admins to do requests for other users, since not everyone is interested in a specific fanfic.
