+====== Subject ======
+<WRAP centeralign>
+A subject, or subject-matter, is a collection of [[lb:trope|tropes]] which frequently re-occur in tandem.

+{{tag>story_theory}}
+===== Elaboration =====
+This term is intended to be differentiated from [[lb:genre]], which the subject is included in.
+Basically, if a bunch of tropes tend to show up together frequently: they're a subject-matter. The subject is then, in other words, what the story is literally about. While the [[lb:theme]] is a more abstract idea.
+===== Articles =====
+For now, the only subject that I've //positively identified// is [[lb:mecha]] which I previously confused for a genre/sub-genre.
