| abstract | - A downplayed version of Executive Meddling, where the bosses forbid only the use of a specific trope (be it a certain character, scene, Plot Twist or so on) in a work, requiring the writers to find an alternative. There can be numerous reasons for this. Perhaps the executive considered the trope in question cliché (or breaking their personal Willing Suspension of Disbelief) and wants the writers to go back and re-think it; maybe that character was too popular (or profitable) to be Killed Off for Real. Maybe the Foreshadowing was too obvious for Genre Savvy audience members; perhaps the prohibited trope was something offensive or controversial that might alienate potential audience members (or cause a firestorm), limiting the potential market for the product; or maybe it's simply a subject that the publisher wants no part of in the first place.
