Or maybe they were all just jealous of this gorgeous art: Kyon: Big drat Mero They even have a page just for lovely fanart of this lovely fanfic. Browsing the trope list it sounds like the fanfic is an excuse to list trope names while having a bunch of schoolgirls make out with one guy and each other. This is distinct from normal troper fanfics, which are normally just an excuse to include as many tropes as possible (to later be listed on TVTropes itself) while having a bunch of schoolgirls make out with one guy and each other. I'm not even sure what the point of the "crossover with TVTropes" gimmick is meant to be. As far as I know, it's not something that usually happens in other fanfiction communities - are there fanfics about anime characters posting on Gaia Online? On the other hand, it doesn't seem to have any purpose other than spamming the text with Everything's Better With Capitalized Trope Names - this isn't exactly Pale Fire here.

It was meant to explain what Neville, Ginny, Luna and the rest of Dumbledore's Army were doing during the events of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. I recall it was fairly stereotypical grimdark slog, by and large, and as you might expect there were a lot of "Why couldn't this have been the real Book 7? It's so much better!" comments peppered throughout the site on pages where it was mentioned. Now, the especially unsettling thing about this particular fanfiction was that its writer was basically a cult leader, and the fanfic was supposedly meant to be some kind of manifesto.

Joss Whedon is definitely overrated by his fans, but I've never understood the backlash against him. He seems to be pretty good at what he does. I first heard of him because of Dr. Horrible, and unless you count Toy Story (he was the fourth of four writers on that I think, no idea how much if any he contributed) that's still my favorite thing he's done.

I think the problem is he gets credit like this: "Where Scream put a postmodern twist on slasher films, The Cabin In The Woods takes on the whole genre and twists even harder... The script brings to the fore Whedons love of subverting clichιs while embracing them and teasing out their deeper meaning." (http://www.avclub.com/articles/the-cabin-in-the-woods,72287/) And it's really inaccurate. I think Cabin in the Woods was a pretty good movie too, but it says gently caress all about horror cliches other than that they exist. It was really frustrating when they bring up all the archetypes at the end, and let the fact that the only female archetypes are both sexual in nature (virgin and slut) pass without comment. A lot of his stuff feels like that. He brings up cliches or stereotypes or problems, but fails to analyze or challenge them in any meaningful way.

Firefly was great, and I recently got into Buffy and have watched the first three seasons. It's pretty cool, I like the plots and dialogue, and as a woman I like the way he treats female characters. The backlash is probably just because there are people out there who are obsessed with him, which is lame, but he's not a bad writer.

Rather than just argue about Whedon, how about some content. I went and looked up Cabin in the Woods, and check out the first page: http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/search_r...n+in+the+woods. It is entirely full of entries, headed Film, WMG, Trivia, Characters, Headscratchers, Fridge, Funny, Nightmare Fuel (duh, it's a horror movie), YMMV and Awesome. I decided to give them some credit and clicked on 'Fridge', since 'Fridge Logic' is supposed to be the moment of 'Hey, now I think about it that doesn't make sense,' and the movie has moments like that. But you know what it's a list of? 'Fridge Brilliance'. No spotting issues, not for them: it just gets cleverer as it goes along! It's full of shout-outs they can feel clever for spotting! Which is why Whedon is so loved and also why people are so sick of him, I think. His real skill is on playing the audience. He's a third-generation TV writer and highly professional, and he plays like a pro on people who are way too easy to manipulate. And of course you can slip things past them. Look at the academic, brilliant, smartest-guy-in-the-room debate they had on the 'Fridge' page: quote:-Why did the Kyoto incident fail? Remember that most of the "victims" were about nine years old. This can be a reference to Infant Immortality. However, this can also be a reference to Defanged Horrors; watch the scene where they turn the Stringy-Haired Ghost Girl into a frog apparently with the Power of Friendship, note that there were no casualities, and then watch your typical scary movie directed at children. In other words? While they invoked J-horror tropes, the scenario turned into a Lighter and Softer Defanged Horrors version instead! All right, so maybe that's not fair. There's also 'Headscratchers.' Maybe somebody notices the blind spots. Let's see... quote:-Ignoring the ending, how would the concept of a "sequel" be handled? The film itself has been said to be a metaphor of horror films and their audiences so how would this business go around preparing a "sequel" should a previous survivor return to the area days, months or years later? Ah gently caress it. Wait, wait, one more thing: one person on that page seems to raise a decent thematic point: quote:Humans are more important than Humanity" that's the movie team's explanation for the clusterfuck that is the final few minutes?!? Two scared, pathetic little teens are worth more than all the other Seven Billion people in the world!?!? We are supposed to see that rear end in a top hat pothead's actions as a triumph?!? There are men and women and children, with beautiful, fufilling lives, only possible because someone has the duty to keep the wolves out of the sheepfold, and Marty and Dana are right to let them all die?!? They're both gonna die anyway if the Eldritch Abomination gets out, so the two "humans", if they even deserve to be called that at the end, don't even win, they drag the world down with them out of spite. (My problem with the ending, in case I'm not being clear, is that Dana and Marty, as well as the directive team, act as though people are the problem, Dana even says "give someone else a chance". Who else, bitch? Once the Ancients finish slaughtering humanity, they'll just go and torture the next group of Sapients. The evil gods are what makes this necessary, not their victims, and they aren't gonna give anyone else "a chance". And I don't see how Word of God can justify their claim those two selfish, hateful monsters' prides are more valuable than all life on Earth. If they hadn't said that, I wouldn't even be making this outburst, I would just take the Downer Ending at face value, but they did say that, they said that Marty and Dana had a triumph in killing themselves and the rest of Humanity, and that they as individuals are worth more than the human race as a whole, and that statement makes me sick. A pair of self-righteous Nietzche Wannabes decide that the entire world should die if they have to, and were expected to accept that as a good, disgusting. If you could knock off calling girls 'bitch' and edit it down to about a fifth of its length, that might actually be an interesting debate point. What are the answers? quote:We never really get to see this "world" we're supposed to care about. Maybe in this univers it's more crapsack. Ah gently caress it.

Thanks to TVTropes' "no notability" rule, a lot of fanfics have pages just like actual books or shows. If a series is mildly popular, there will usually be one or two pages for specific fanfics of it; if a series is very popular, there might be a half-dozen or a dozen; and for a few really popular (among tropers) series, like Evangelion or Homestuck, there might be about twenty. Out of curiosity, I decided to see how many My Little Pony fanfics had their own separate pages. Three hundred and seventy-seven. And most of those have several additional subpages. And that's just regular fanfics; when you include fan visual novels, fan webcomics, fan play by post games, fan music, fan videos, fan sites, fan blogs, and other assorted bullshit that also have their own separate pages, the number goes up to four hundred and eighty-six. For comparison, TVTropes has only four hundred and six pages for pre-20th century literature. All the world's classical literature across thousands of years of civilization, up through and including the 19th century, is given less attention than pony fanfics. But maybe I'm being unfair and these fanfics are good enough to deserve all the attention they get? Fan Fic: Battleships Universe posted:The Battleships Universe is a series of My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic fanfics by totallynotabrony. The story begins in Battleships are Magic, where a modern human battleship ends up in Equestria right as a war begins. Fan Fic: Equestria Total War posted:Equestria: Total War is a My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic fanfiction written by emkajii. Feeling threatened by the highly magical nature of Equestria, the Kingdom of Gryphonia has launched an all-out invasion. The bearers of the elements of harmony find themselves impressed into service as leaders of the newly created Equestrian army in an effort to repel the invading forces. Unfortunately, they find themselves woefully unprepared for the ravages of war and struggle to remain true to the virtues that they represent. Fan Fic: The Great Slave King posted:The Great Slave King, written by TalonMach5, opens with Andrew King a regular guy somehow ending up in Equestria. Captured by diamond dogs and forced to work as a slave, King eventually escapes after many years in captivity, but loses his friend and adopted daughter in the process. On the verge of dying of dehydration, he unknowingly stumbles across the Well of Eternity, ascending to godhood and setting in motion a chain of events that will permanently change the world. Fan Fic: Fallout: Equestria - Project Horizons posted:Project Horizons is a Recursive Fanfiction for Fallout: Equestria by Somber, and is currently a work in progress. There are Shakespeare plays that still don't have their own pages, but sure, your rapefics are important too. e: Fan Fic: Fallout: Equestria - Project Horizons posted:Scotch Tape - a young filly who hasn't even gotten her cutiemark yet - has had multiple sexual encounters with both genders.

This intelligence is his only remotely notable positive trait and so he uses it to completely define his sense of identity and self worth, but is too afraid to ever put his theoretical genius to the test and apply himself due to the subconscious knowledge that if he does so he will quickly find himself to be not as smart as he's built himself up to be and therefore have an extreme identity crisis. posted:This troper's mother tells him he is this on a regular basis. I admit to being slightly lazy, but not this at all. This is due to the fact that in eighth grade, my grades dropped to a straight C average because I DID take the time off to be lazy (I still consider large parts of that time as good times) and I have trouble with honors classes. After this, I got almost entirely As (a couple of Bs and one C) the next year. Still nothing because of that one C. This year, I am in one honors and one AP class and am fighting epic struggles with doing all my work for both (I usually get around five hours of sleep a night) but still getting Cs, which I always get in honors classes. My mother still believes I can succeed if I try hard enough, and mentions the example of my neighbor, who is in both and succeeding, and everyone including his mother says I'm smarter (I call bullshit on that one, because I know the guy and he is smart) Due to my refusal to believe this and the fact that instead of blindly accepting, I argue, I've switched from being The Favorite to The Unfavorite in a couple of years (I harbor no bitterness as that just shows the positions are meaningless) Due to the fact that my mother does most of the talking at my annual checkups, my PHYSICIAN is now joining in on the act, telling me to get it together and I can still succeed. I used to like him, but after listening to him and my mother kvetch about me together, I'm slightly irritated to say the least.

Ugh every time I hear people being proud about "Brilliant but Lazy", I'm reminded of myself in high school. Turns out it doesn't really impress any teacher when you don't turn in work all semester. I think part of it is that Tropers see themselves as above doing menial schoolwork each day and should only be given EPIC CHALLENGES TO TEST THEIR LIMITLESS INTELLIGENCE. Even if your homework is piss easy, doing it is a sign of personal responsibility and respect to the teacher, something I wish I had known in school.

Not really a huge thing content-wise, but these things stuck out to me for some reason. Somebody points out that Gendo Ikari is listed as a "Woobie" (ick), I go to check and- quote:Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds: Definitely in the manga. ...Okay. They don't explain why it's the case for just the manga, which is another thing that's pretty annoying. It seems like they assume that other fans of the thing they're writing about are reading this and don't feel the need to expand on what they said. What IS Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds, anyway? quote:This is a character who wants to destroy everything and everyone in the story, and is suddenly in a position to do so (on a small or large scale); but in contrast to the Ax Crazy Omnicidal Maniac, he/she has some plausible, outright tragic reason to do so. In some cases, the other characters outright sympathize with this one (whether or not the audience does too is out of the equation here), all the while accepting that they must be stopped. Sometimes, the character is even portrayed as likeable, just...not with the right mindset. Can somebody please tell me how Gendo Ikari fits the bolded part? I don't get it-....wait, what's that last thing? quote:Note: This trope is no longer considered YMMV, because not all examples here need to be sympathetic to the audience. ....But...wait. The entire reason why the Woobie subsets even exist is because the audience is supposed to sympathize with them. Isn't it? Isn't that what it's supposed to mean? Why does this get special treatment? Why should Gendo be considered a Woobie at all? Why doesn't this website follow its own goddamn asinine rules? I'm not even angry, just severely confused. Bonus: quote:Yandere: For Yui. Yandere. He's Yandere for Yui. Not obsessive. Not Japanese enough. Gotta be Yandere. I don't even know where the hell they get this, unless they're going by Yui dying and Gendo planning to bring about instrumentality so he can be with her again. And if that's the case, that's not...quite the word they're looking for.
