From YKTTW Working Title: Law of Inverse Paternity
Some Sort Of Troper: While the page is low on examples and has not fulfilled the Three Rules Of Three, it looks like it may hold up as a trope, I actually believe I have a third example and the name works well when compared with Law of Inverse Fertility. It needs work, not deleting.
Pro-Mole: Why not letting it more time on the YKKTW, then? Just because it sounds like a trope, it doesn't mean it is a trope!
Anonymous Mc Cartneyfan: It's already loose; let's not shove it back. That is a good name. But we'd better not delay that third example...
Pro-Mole: No, it's okay, it can stay where it is, I'm just curious to why not letting it swim a little while on the primordial pond of YKTTW before coming to dry land... okay, let me drop the metaphor: it was launched with 0 replies, that's quite dangerous...
Super Troper: Tried letting it hang on but no one was interested. Sorry about the Three Rules Of Three - I'm still a bit of a novice when it comes to launches.
Madrugada The big problem is that fresh trope pages don't get nearly as much input once they're made as ideas can get in YKTTW, unless they're wicked to the big example generators: anime, comic books and film. If it didn't attract attention as a YKTTW, it's not going to get a lot of examples as a full-fledged page. HOWEVER: very few proposals are going to be hit with lots of replies in the first forty-five minutes that it's on YKTTW. (That's how long it looks like it was there before it was launched, unless I'm reading the timestamps wrong: it was posted to YKTTW at 14:25 (2:25pm) on the 27th. The content was added to the page at 3:07 pm the same day.)
This definitely deserves a better start than this. Cut it, put it back on YKTTW and let it grow.
Some Sort Of Troper: We don't have to cut it because we don't have to scrap everything that's on the page. What we have forms a trope, all we need is attention. We can put it on YKTTW and then just launch back to this page or put it on the forums.
