Add a Fiveminute.Net Page to TVTropes?
http://www.tvtropes.org
Lots of people put fanfics on the site whether or not they wrote it. After all, fanfics have tropes too, right? So I thought it may be a nice way to drum up interest. And we do use a lot of tropes in our work. And Zeke is a fellow troper, so yeah... Anyway, I'd like some discussion of what should be added to the page? Is there a single paragraph from a fiver that would be a good page quote to introduce us to the troper community? What would be the best image to use? And so forth.

Actually, I've been pleasantly surprised to find several 5M.net links on the site already (I'm an inveterate hitcounter-checker). Besides people's profiles, we're recommended on the Voyager recaps page along with Delta Blues -- always good company to be in. And "How to Debate an Exploding Candidate", which included a shout-out to the Good Thing You Can Heal trope, has actually seen that shout-out returned.
I'd certainly have no problem with people starting a 5M.net page at TVT (and I'd be flattered). Due to the obvious conflict of interest, I probably shouldn't have too much to do with it myself.

Would you mind if I called the page Five Minute Voyager, with a Five Minute Dot Net redirect?
As for conflict of interest, we're in danger of that either way, aren't we?

That sounds awesome. Of course, I'm a troper myself, so I might just have to start plugging in a few places...

Of course we'd need a ptitle for "Fiveminute.Net", but what else is new?

I should have guessed that you were all tropers, too.
Actually, this revelation explains most of the content of that site. Awesome.

I've started the page, but I'll need a lot of help to make this thing presentable.
