Before making a single edit, Tropedia EXPECTS our site policy and manual of style to be followed. Failure to do so may result in deletion of contributions and blocks of users who refuse to learn to do so. Our policies can be reviewed here.
All images MUST now have proper attribution, those who neglect to assign at least the "fair use" licensing to an image may have it deleted. All new pages should use the preloadable templates feature on the edit page to add the appropriate basic page markup. Pages that don't do this will be subject to deletion, with or without explanation.
All new trope pages will be made with the "Trope Workshop" found on the "Troper Tools" menu and worked on until they have at least three examples. The Trope workshop specific templates can then be removed and it will be regarded as a regular trope page after being moved to the Main namespace. THIS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW, REPORT ANY ISSUES TO Janna2000, SelfCloak or RRabbit42. DON'T MAKE PAGES MANUALLY UNLESS A TEMPLATE IS BROKEN, AND REPORT IT THAT IS THE CASE. PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP.

Colbert Bump: When Stuart Ashen began favoriting his videos and referencing his works, fans took interest.
Creator Backlash/Creator Breakdown: He suffers from severe anxiety and bouts of depression, which cause him to periodically hate his own works and drive him to get rid of everything. He wound up yielding control of an archive account to one of his friends to help avoid this.
Distaff Counterpart: He has a sister who's more or less as oddball as he is.
Keep Circulating the Tapes: He usually reuploads most - if not all - of his YouTube videos after he deletes them, and anything he's missed, he'll either reupload or send you a copy if you ask, but there are some things (such as the videos "STABB" and "50p") that even he can't find anymore and even more things only the most devout fans know to ask him about (such as "The Abandoned Continuity Booth," "Live Forever/Samba Pa Ti" and "Mrs Egg.")
Nepotism: He's worked with ideas his sister gave him, and at one point uploaded a video she did to his account. Nobody complained, though—her works are regarded more or less as well as her brother's.
