Scrapbook Stories, Epistolary Novels and other works of the kind which make heavy use of Fictional Documents will almost inevitably run into the problem of how to avoid the document giving away plot twists prematurely or referring to a particular character by name. Supposing the novel in question is a Cosmic Horror Story and the document refers to Things Man Was Not Meant To Know, or Brown Notes which supposedly cause the reader to Go Mad from the Revelation. Obviously, few writers are skilled enough to actually compose such a Brown Note, so including the Brown Note in the text of the Fictional Document itself is out of the question. But the writer still needs to use the document to get vital plot information across. So how does the writer get out of this quandary? Simple! Have the pivotal parts obscured. Convenient ways to avoid a document giving away too much information are: The spoiling part of the document has been blacked out with a felt-tip pen or the document is missing pages. A sentence is left unfinished because its author got Killed Mid-Sentence. The writing has been damaged by water or fire, or has faded by old age. The character reading the document gets interrupted, thus preventing them (and the reader) from discovering important information. Commonly found (of course) in works which make use of Fictional Documents. Can be justified via the Literary Agent Hypothesis. Sister Trope to His Name Is.... Plot-Based Voice Cancellation achieves the same effect, but with sound, while Plot-Based Photograph Obfuscation does it with photographs. Censor Box is probably the closest equivalent in visual media. Compare to That Was the Last Entry and Apocalyptic Log. Subtrope of Impeded Communication. |

Adventure Time: In "The Diary", Jake's son T.V. finds a discarded journal at the bottom of a dried-up moat, and finds the last few pages were torn out before T.V. could find out what happened to the owner B.P. on her date with her crush Justin. T.V. and Jake set out to solve the mystery, and eventually discover B.P. was "Betsy Poundcake", AKA minor character Nurse Poundcake. | |

Near the beginning of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Harry finds a letter from one of his parents which mentions Dumbledore, and hints at a surprising revelation about his past. However, the second page of the letter cannot be found by Harry. He finds out much later that the revelation would have been of some use to him at the time, and that it was removed for reasons completely unrelated to any desire to keep it from him. | |

Throughout the levels of The Talos Principle, there are various texts, most of which are random bits of history or philosophy, but some are communiques relevant to the backstory. However, in many cases extremely important bits of information are "bugged", appearing as numbers or nonsense characters. (Although, if the player is diligent enough, they can translate some of these back to text using ASCII protocols, creating a very roundabout Bilingual Bonus.) | |

After his death, the heroes have a lengthy quest to hunt down an intact copy that holds vital information about the current Divine Conflict; it also contains a note to The Chosen One by Torak in a rare Moment of Lucidity, begging him to prevent the Dark Prophecy's victory. | |

The next episode, Dojo finds it in-between the comatose Master Fung's toes, because the paper had been used to fill in a hole in his sandal. It details how unless you have the Yang Yoyo, people who enter the Ying-Yang World turn evil from losing their good chi. | |

Happens throughout House of Leaves, such as by one of the characters spilling ink on a document or something like that. Possibly in an effort to justify the use of this trope, parts of the fictional documents which aren't vital to the plot also get damaged, re[]lting in te[]t that lo[]s like thi[]. Additionally, sometimes the characters do this on purpose precisely because they fear the reader being driven mad by what they might read. | |

In The Last Continent, the Librarian has caught a magical disease, and in order to cure him, the other wizards need to know his true name. Thing is, no one in Unseen University remembers what the Librarian was like before becoming an orangutan, and the Librarian himself isn't telling, as he's afraid someone will turn him back. Ridcully suggests looking the name up in the yearbook for the year the Librarian graduated, but according to the Dean, all copies suffered the same mishap. That mishap, as the Archchancellor guesses, is that a certain page being torn out, leaving only a bananary aroma in its wake. | |

Miss Brooks is forced into the conclusion that Mr. Conklin wants her to get him an elephant. It Makes Sense in Context. In "The Telegram", the eponymous telegram gets partially burnt. Half the message from Mrs. Davis' Uncle Corky gets destroyed. Resultantly, everybody believes that Mrs. Davis' uncle only has a week left to live. Again, It Makes Sense in Context. |

SCP Foundation The intentional removal of information is used extensively in the Foundation's documents, including blacking out words and replacement by the phrases [REDACTED] and [DATA EXPUNGED]. Certain documents occasionally have non-standard replacements like [EXPLETIVE REMOVED], [ADDITIONAL CLEARANCE REQUIRED], and variations on the standard phrases involving embedded directions. SCP-699 ("Mystery Box"). A rare example of the accidental version of this trope. A report was attached to SCP-699 when it arrived at the Foundation. Parts of the report were too damaged to be read and were replaced with [report damaged]. SCP-719 ("Light-Bringer"). Another accidental version. A note found during the recovery of the item was partially burned. The remaining sections indicate that SCP-719 is a doorway for an extradimensional being to enter our reality. SCP-1213 ("Orphaned Catapult"). SCP-1213 is an animated medieval-style catapult that seeks out and grabs young mammals and people with dwarfism, puts them in its basket and throws them against the nearest wall. A document left by its creator had many areas illegible (missing or burnt), but what remained indicated that he used a machine that created doorways between dimensions to acquire it. SCP-2004 ("Personal Data Assistants of the Gods"). SCP-2004 is a set of anomalous PDAs that display a message in an alien language. After reading the message, human beings can translate some of the message, but then lose their minds. What has been translated indicates that the human race is somehow dangerous to the other intelligent beings in the universe and we've been confined to the Earth until we grow up enough to no longer be a threat. |

Played for dark humor in Neon Genesis Evangelion, with the note from Gendo. It probably started out as a long, somewhat flowery letter (or maybe just a printout of Shinji's pilot candidate profile) but by the time it reached Shinji's hands, 95% of it had been blacked out by NERV Security, leaving only "COME—GENDO" remaining. | |

In the expansion to XCOM: Enemy Unknown, Enemy Within, when you first research Meld, the official research report mentions some previous research from classified documents in the 70's, which were missing information about the source of the information. Since XCOM has access to any and all information in regards to the alien invaders, the revelation that information has been and is being kept from them should raise a few eyebrows and foreshadows the existence of EXALT. | |

In Monty Python and the Holy Grail, the mystic runes carved in a cave wall say "He who is valiant and pure of spirit may find the Holy Grail in the castle aaaaaaargh". The characters debate whether the writer died while carving itnote "Look, if he was dying, he wouldn't bother to carve 'Aaargh', he'd just say it!" ... "Perhaps he was dictating it?", or whether "Aaaargh" really is the name of the castle. | |

It turns out neither half has it and they never did, with the wording which implied it did a complete accident.

One of the most famous examples occurs in Nineteen Eighty-Four, when Winston is reading a book which explains the entire political philosophy of Ingsoc and is just about to learn the motivations behind the Party's barbaric totalitarian system - upon which he falls fast asleep, much to the reader's frustration. | |

Played for laughs like everything else in Full Metal Panic? Fumoffu. After detonating his shoe locker due to signs of tampering, Sousuke recovers and reconstructs the burned shreds of a love letter. From the few bits of surviving text, he completely misinterprets it as a death threat. | |

One letter from the original Resident Evil is usually missing its top half by the time you find it. If you're quick enough in reaching the room its located in, you can read the full letter before it's ripped up and see the mention of a "guy in sunglasses," a.k.a. Albert Wesker, who's obviously the person that tears off that part of the letter. | |

In The Incredible Hulk (1977), the episode "The First", David finds a multi-volume diary detailing the process by which a scientist actually turned someone else into a Hulk-like creature, and cured it... but the volume with the actual process is missing. The scientist's groundskeeper — who was the person who had been turned into the Creature — had hidden it. | |

Very early in Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha Detonation, Yuri gives the heroes a page of the Tome of the Night Sky that has a recording of her backstory on it, but Iris burns the page before she can hand it over. Even with Levi managing to recover most of the data, it still results in a major jump from Iris and Yuri being friends to Yuri having supposedly murdered everyone on the Planet Restoration Committee. | |

Luz reads the bottom half of the note, from which she sees that it was a proposal to be Amity's Grom date, and Amity's worst fear was being rejected. Luz doesn't see the top half, which reveals that Amity wanted to ask her to Grom. | |

When he finally acquires another copy, it has been drawn over with crayon and is completely unreadable. In the end, neither we nor Arthur find out how the story is supposed to end, although Arthur realizes he can write his own ending. | |

In Lost, the Swan Orientation film noticeably had a snippet removed the first time Desmond and Locke watched it. The missing snippet — which clarified why the computer was not to be used for anything other than entering the Numbers every 108 minutes — was later explained as an edit made by Razdinsky and stored in a hollowed-out Bible in another station across the island, which was later found by Eko. The reasons why the film was edited were never clarified, but Michael's use of the computer to communicate with Walt set off the entire series of tragic events in the second half of Season 2. | |

In Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney, Magnifi's diary ends with a page that implies he was killed shortly after writing it. However, you can notice the following page was ripped out. You were also given a ripped page before the trial where this comes up, and you claim that it comes from the diary. As it turns out, the missing page was Magnifi's will, and the page you had was a complete fake to make you look like a forger (and indeed, Phoenix Wright was disbarred for presenting false evidence). On the real page, Magnifi gave the rights to his magic tricks to Zak Gramarye, his disciple. | |

Secret Window: Writer Mort, in order to defend himself against claims from Mr. Shooter that Mort plagiarized a story from him, has to get hold of a magazine from 1993 - the only source his story was published in. Once he gets the magazine, the pages containing his story are torn out. From then on, Mr. Shooter, who was creepy to begin with, start full-out threatening and stalking Mort. At The Reveal at the end of the movie, Mr. Shooter turns out to be not an existing person but a suppressed aspect of Mort himself (as in a dissociative / "multiple personality" disorder or schizophrenic kind of condition), so Mort himself had torn the pages out without remembering. The missing pages seem to be the point that Mr. Shooter begins to take over Mort, and at the end of the movie, Mort('s personality) has gone and now is Mr. Shooter. | |

In Warhammer 40,000, any piece of lore dealing with the two unknown Primarchs and their Legions is likely to be either vague, heavily redacted, or get cut short before anything solid can be revealed about them. Flavour text on some of the Imperium's more secretive organisations, most notably the Inquisition and Grey Knights, is also often subject to this, especially when it takes the form of in-universe documents. Parodied in *The Regimental Standard* with YOUR Stories!, where a Guardsman’s account of a battle is completely redacted except for "we" and then much later "won." You can still make out some of the original text under the redactions, including "We are all doomed to damnation." |

On Doctor Who, the Twelfth Doctor gives an young Viking girl, Ashildr, an alien medical device that constantly heals any injury, effectively giving her an immortal life. Over 800 years later, he catches up to her, now going by the name "Me." Since Me has an immortal life, but a normal human memory, she long-ago started journaling her adventures before she forgot them. While looking through her journals, the Doctor finds a run of missing pages, with what appears to be tear-stains on the remaining pages. Me explains that she can't remember what was on the pages, but that they caused her untold grief due to her immortality and her loved ones dying of normal aging. | |

Appears in the thematically appropriate Call of Duty: Black Ops, which follows disavowed events during the Cold War. Every mission opens with a summary, before black ink smears out everything except the viewpoint character, the location, and time. Its sequels, though set in the distant future, still uses this trope by deleting text. | |

The text of The Dresden Files contains blacked-out passages, ostensibly inked out by Harry Dresden himself when Billy Borden compiled his notes for the game for Harry's perusal. Gamers who examine the pdf version of the game can peek under the redactions, some of which reference events in the novel series which had not yet been revealed when the RPG first saw print; another contains an actual message from series author Jim Butcher, admitting that he can't tell anyone what Billy originally "wrote" yet. | |

In Atlantis: The Lost Empire, the Shepherd's Journal has a missing page, which means that nobody knows exactly what the Atlanteans' power-source is. Rourke had the missing page in his boot the whole time. | |

In Disney Fairies movie Secret of the Wings, Tinker Bell tries to read through the books in the library for why her wings sparkled in the Winter Woods. She finds a book that has may have the answer... but those pages specifically were eaten by a bookworm. However, she at least now knows who may have the answer, and that would logically be the author. | |

Phantom Doctrine: Part of the game is analysing captured documents, which mainly consist of blacked-out text and a few code names. If the same code names appear in different documents, then you can make connections via String Theory. | |

X-COM: A common element in The Bureau: XCOM Declassified using blacking out information heavily in the viral marketing of the game and the boxart itself. In game however very little done in such a way as you're in the inner circle. In the expansion to XCOM: Enemy Unknown, Enemy Within, when you first research Meld, the official research report mentions some previous research from classified documents in the 70's, which were missing information about the source of the information. Since XCOM has access to any and all information in regards to the alien invaders, the revelation that information has been and is being kept from them should raise a few eyebrows and foreshadows the existence of EXALT. |

Ace Attorney: The Burned Letter in Trials and Tribulations conveniently has crucial parts burned by an incinerator. For example, the name of the person who had to be channeled by Pearl Fey in the night of the murder, Dahlia Hawthorne. You can still figure this out from the other clues of the case. In Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney, Magnifi's diary ends with a page that implies he was killed shortly after writing it. However, you can notice the following page was ripped out. You were also given a ripped page before the trial where this comes up, and you claim that it comes from the diary. As it turns out, the missing page was Magnifi's will, and the page you had was a complete fake to make you look like a forger (and indeed, Phoenix Wright was disbarred for presenting false evidence). On the real page, Magnifi gave the rights to his magic tricks to Zak Gramarye, his disciple. |

In the Doug episode "Doug and the Weird Kids", Doug is paired off with Al and Moo Sleech for a school report where they have to get to know each other. While the Sleech twins investigate Doug's life and habits, they provide him a document containing information about themselves. However, when it comes to their father, they only provide a heavily redacted profile where the only words visible are "and", "but The", "An", and "McDonagh." Doug decides to investigate who their father actually is, and it turns out he's a baker. The twins are ashamed of him because he's not a scientist like them. | |

Used in Marble Hornets Entry #60.5 with Tim's medical documents. While Jay manages to get a decent bit of information from them, the documents are heavily redacted with black marker, with one page being almost entirely blacked out. While Jay theorizes that whoever left the documents did this to intimidate him, one has to wonder how blacking out Tim's last name apart from its initial (W) serves any purpose other than keeping up with the Only One Name motif for the characters. | |

In Event Horizon, the ship receives part of a signal from the titular vessel containing a message in Latin. As the signal is partly corrupted, they initially take the message to be "Liberate me" - "save me". Upon acquiring the full signal and inspecting it closer, they find that the message is actually "Libera te tutemet ex inferis" - "Save yourself from Hell.'' | |

Chased by Dinosaurs did this with an egg of all things. Nigel comes across a long-abandoned dinosaur nest with some broken, unhatched eggs. He identifies the nest as that of the animal he's looking for, Therizinosaurus, by the large claws possessed by a partial fetal skeleton he finds in one of the eggs. However, the skeleton is missing a vital feature, its skull, as it would've immediately made it obvious the animal Nigel assumes is a fearsome super-predator is actually an herbivore. | |

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom: The game's opening has Link and Zelda finding Zonai ruins deep beneath Hyrule Castle, including a series of elaborate carvings showing Hyrule's origins and the rise of Ganondorf, the Demon King in the distant past. However, a rockslide has covered up the last few wall murals, preventing the later parts of the story from being revealed. Once you eventually get back to said cave, you can just blow up the rubble and see the rest of the mural. | |

In the first episode of Gravity Falls, Journal 3's "Property of" label is ripped in half. That half being where the name was written, thus making its Author's identity a mystery for most of the series. A season-and-a-half later, the characters would discover the Author's identity to be Grunkle Stan's twin brother. | |
