[[folder:Tropes Prevalent in My Own Writing]]

*** {{Alice Allusion}} / {{Expy}} - Rachel was originally inspired by Raven from ''{{Teen Titans}}'', but she's undergone several changes since then. Also, Rachel bares some resemblance to Bella Swann, but this is coincidental. I created her character before ''{{Twilight}}'' and now have taken great pains to distance the characters. Now Rachel has the greatest similarity to [[TheWizardOfOz Dorothy Gale]], [[AliceInWonderland Alice]], [[PeterPan Wendy Darling]], [[TheChroniclesOfNarnia Lucy Pevensie]], and [[TheNeverendingStory Bastian Bux]].

*** {{Expy}}: He looks quite a bit like a cross between a white [[AssassinsCreed Ezio Auditore]] and Jim Hawkins from ''{{Treasure Planet}}''.

*** {{Grim Up North}} - Especially jarring when you consider that she's inspired by the GOOD Witch of the North.

* ''Fantasy Life: My Life in Music'':
** {{I Want Song}} - "Buenos Aires", "Climbing Uphill", and "I'd Rather Watch You".
** {{I Am Song}} - "I'm the Greatest Star" and "Finishing the Set".
** {{Sanity Slippage Song}} - "Across the Universe" and "I Dreamed a Dream".
** {{The Cover Changes the Meaning}} - "Over the Rainbow" turns into a meditation on death and the loss of innocence.
** {{The Cover Changes the Gender}} - Many songs including "I Dreamed a Dream", "Buenos Aires", "Over the Rainbow", and "Defying Gravity".

* ''Love in the Time of Zombies'':
** Phil - {{The Hero}} / {{Heroic BSOD}}
** Devin - {{The Lancer}} / {{I Call Her Vera}}
** Clive - {{The Smart Guy}}
** Garrett - {{The Big Guy}} / {{Fat Slob}}
** Jenna - {{The Chick}} / {{Zombie Infectee}} / {{Disney Death}} / {{Shallow Love Interest}} / {{Small Girl Big Gun}}
** {{Our Zombies Are Different}} / {{Zombie Apocalypse}} - The setting, which is according to Max Brooks' idea of zombies.
** {{Bottomless Magazines}} - Averted. The characters run out of ammo while battling the undead.
** {{Everyone Is Armed}} - Averted. There are not quite enough guns for everyone.
** {{Mexican Standoff}} - The four main guys get into one during an argument, with Garrett wielding a video game gun.
** {{Status Quo Is God}} - When the play ends, everything is more or less the same, but the characters have changed significantly.

* ''A Very Zombie Christmas'':
** {{Our Zombies Are Different}} / {{An Ass Kicking Christmas}}
** {{Hollywood Atheist}} / {{Deadpan Snarker}} - Ian.
** {{Stepford Smiler}} - Martha.
** {{Christmas Miracle}} (Parodied)
** {{Everyone Is Christian at Christmas}} (Subverted)
** {{As the Good Book Says}} (Subverted) - Ian says "God helps those who help themselves". Martha tells him that is not in the Bible.
** {{Belief Makes You Stupid}} (Subverted) - Ian thinks Martha's faith is what makes her act irrationally, but it's actually her fear that she is losing her family.
** {{The Day of Reckoning}} (Subverted) - Martha thinks this is happening. Can you blame her?
** {{Fantastic Religious Weirdness}} - Martha has difficulty reconciling the existence of zombies with her faith.
** {{Flying Spaghetti Monster}} - Ian tries to invoke this, until Martha mentions that zombies are evidently real after all.
** {{Easy Evangelism}} (Averted) - Ian does not convert at the end, but he and his mother have a lot more respect for each other's beliefs.

* ''{{Scott Pilgrim}}''
** {{Adaptation Expansion}} - Instead of a passing remark, Scott learns that Lucas Lee is the second evil ex via a video delivered to him by Ramona among several Lucas Lee movies that Wallace ordered. Also, Scott gets to see into the dreams of other people when Ramona takes him through subspace. Wallace only kisses Jimmy as a diversion to stop Knives from talking to Ramona. Later, Jimmy tells Wallace to call him while walking out with Stacey.
** {{Alternate Character Interpretation}} - Lucas Lee is significantly less passive in my stage adaptation.
** {{Adaptation Distillation}} - The scene in Honest Ed's is removed along with the Vegan Police. Sorry, folks.
** {{Pragmatic Adaptation}} - Each novel is condensed a bit. Several scenes become one scene.
** {{Promoted to Love Interest}} / {{Pair the Spares}} - It's implied that Stacey and Young Neil get together at the end of the story.
** {{Spared by the Adaptation}} - The Evil Exes, when they disappear, are taken into Subspace. They are freed after Scott defeats Gideon, and it turns out that Gideon's glow infection had turned their hatred for Ramona into outright evil. They forgive Ramona and Scott and go on with their lives.
** {{Adaptational Attractiveness}} - Roxie looks much more like her film incarnation.

** {{The Smart Guy}} / {{Big Eater}} / {{Gadgeteer Genius}} / {{Nobody Loves the Bassist}} / {{Brainy Specs}} - My friend Andrew.
** {{Large Ham}} / {{No Indoor Voice}}} / {{Chivalrous Pervert}} / {{Guttural Growler}} / {{Four Temperament Ensemble}}: Sanguine. - My friend Doug.

** {{The Face of the Band}} / {{Four Temperament Ensemble}}: Choleric. - My friend Peter.

* ''{{Scott Pilgrim}}: Part I''

* ''Scott Pilgrim: Part II''
** {{Adaptation Expansion}} - It's implied that Wallace slept with Stephen before he met Joseph. Joseph is not happy about Stephen being around Wallace.

** {{Spared by the Adaptation}} - With the exception of Gideon, who is permanently trapped in subspace, the evil exes were mind-controlled puppets of Gideon and did not actually die.
