Would you want your "works" on TV Tropes?

Soon I'll have a game out on the indie market and as the co-creator of this work I am asking myself, "Would I care if there was a works page on TV Tropes?" I wouldn't make it myself, because I'm banned, but would I want it there? Someone might end up making it if my game gets enough attention. Plus, it would be decent advertisement as well. Also, I can see a lot of tropes as a result of making the game. Once I think about it though, I really don't like the idea of something I helped create on Fast Eddie's website.

    Sure, why not? I'd probably contribute to it.

    You can change. You can.
    I don't care if it happens.

    If it does, I'd read it, and I'd probably edit any stupid examples off with a edit reason, but I wouldn't go out of my way for it to happen. -shrug-

    I'd probably end up somehow miss the original point I was trying to make by editing it, anyway.

    I don't see why not.

    Granted, once the work is published, whether or not it has a TVT article isn't really something I can control anyway.

    It seems pretty easy to get a works page locked or deleted. All you have to do is make fun of TV Tropes and/or Eddie within the work.

    If you are talking about This Troper, it was locked because it insults specific single users, instead of the site as whole.

    You shouldn't jumble facts just because you are pissed off at somebody, who proved to make highly questionable decisions. Let the MML fans do that.

    Facts? Who said anything about facts? I merely jest.

    And your jesting is not as funny as you think it is.

    Perhaps not, but did I LOL at my own jesting? I think not.

    Can we not?

    Yeah, OK, I withdraw, then.

    I think I'd be honored if not only I got my work into the public, but that people cared enough to write about it on wikis.

    Well my biggest issue is what sorts of fans will be working on the page.  I would prefer the overly creepy fans who read too much into things not touch it at all.

    But it is more exposure and might get the work passed around a bit.

    All it would really mean is that my story has a bit of popularity. You think Rowling stays awake at night because of the obsessive yaoi tards?

    So, my reaction would be 'cool, people recognize me enough to make a page.'

    Well, given where I'm working now, I kind of hope at least something we make turns enough heads to get a page made.  Wouldn't touch the page myself though.

    If I touched my page it'd be inserting complaints about the work to watch sparks fly. Yeah, I know.

    INUH: Nope, the lowly engineers tend to be happy with a name on the credit roll, a comfortable house, a smile from the audience, and screenshots of our most hilarious fuckups and error messages as long as the publishers don't harass us too much.

    I made a dude's head look like a Fabergé egg once!  :D

    At the OP discussion...

    I wouldn't, but they'd probably end up there, in which case I'd probably end up massively editing the articles for factual correctness. Problem with Tropes is a lot of people like to assume things that end up not being true, or being Jedi True.

    Or I'd just put an entry about it on my blog which points out all the problems, since that would be easier than constantly editing only to have my changes reverted or edited further into something just as bad (I've had this happen so many times...)

    I wouldn't mind it, although I'd find it hard not to correct misconceptions and get a little annoyed about any percieved death of the authour
