Lumping by trope works with other works, but fiveminute.net is different. With fivers it's a lot faster just to present excerpts than summarize what's going on into terse examples. And if I'm reading one fiver at at time it's a lot easier to post in sections than sort the new entries among the old ones every time. And there are A LOT of fivers to come.
Besides, a lot of the excerpts will serve as examples of more than one trope at a time, and I don't want to have to post twice.
Eventually I'll probably split series-specific pages off of the main fiveminute.net page, keeping the main page for common fiver tropes in addition to being a hub.
