[[folder:Things That I Have Worked On But Not Published (Yet)]]

Failed film projects (lowest likelihood of "success"[[note]]i.e. completion, non-terribleness and so forth[[/note]]):
* "Desk"--A short film about four guys moving a desk, and another guy who finds it.†
* "Here Goes Nothing"--A fake documentary about the making of a mockumentary that gradually turns sinister.†
* "Sleep"--(see below)

Sequential art nonsense (lower likelihood of success):
* "Hello!"--A "skitcom" with a strong line in Dada.†
* "Jacob"--An exceedingly dark comedy about a hapless loser and his sadistic imaginary friend.

Prosaic prose stuff (slightly higher likelihood of success):
* "Focal Point"--A short-novel-length cosmic horror story with a [[IncrediblyLamePun focus]] on the nature of time and memory.
* "Sleep"--A novella about a circle of college friends falling apart with supernatural overtones.
* "An Older Lover, Etc."--A morbid riff on teen paranormal romances from a queer perspective.

The elephant in the room:
* An as-of-yet untitled door-stopper work, intended for a "hypercomic" format. Extremely involved, with many characters across many years. Involves multiple intersecting realities, hermetic magic, hired killers, romantic obsession, religious fanaticism, early computer science, eschatology and gender identity. Woo.

Sings and plays random instruments in a band. They're [[{{Understatement}} fairly obscure]], which [[{{Hipster}} makes them amazing]].

* ''DarthWiki/{{Desk}}''†: A short film about four guys moving a desk, and another guy who finds it. Made of MindScrew.
* ''DarthWiki/HereGoesNothing''†: A fake documentary about the attempted making of a {{mockumentary}}. Also, a psychological horror film, ''and'' a comedy of errors. Basically, a tour-de-force of violent GenreBusting.

* ''[[{{DarthWiki/Hello}} Hello!]]''†: A "skitcom" with a strong line in Dada.
* ''[[{{DarthWiki/JacobsMind}} Jacob's Mind]]'': An exceedingly dark comedy about a hapless loser and his utterly sadistic imaginary friend.

* ''DarthWiki/FocalPoint'': A short-novel-length CosmicHorrorStory with a [[IncrediblyLamePun focus]] on the nature of time and memory.

* An as-of-yet untitled {{doorstopper}} work. [[LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters Very hard to]] [[KudzuPlot explain concisely.]] [[ThisIsYourPremiseOnDrugs Or coherently.]]

* As long as you're an attractive woman, I'll marry you XD. Nice musical taste, by the way! -@/Quag15

* As long as you're an attractive woman, I'll marry you XD. Nice musical taste, by the way!

* ''[[{{DarthWiki/HeyPilgrim}} Hey, Pilgrim]]'': A longish story about a [[SociopathicHero disturbed]] [[TeenGenius teenager]] who [[ThroughTheEyesOfMadness may or may not]] have supernatural abilities.

[[folder:Applicable Tropes]]
Add to these as you will...
* {{Angrish}}: My native tongue.
* TheAntiNihilist: I am generally of the belief that people tend to conflate meaning in existence and meaning in their own lives, consequently overrating the former and devaluing the latter.
* ApologisesALot: Often with good reason.
* [[AttentionDeficitOohShiny Attention Deficit... Ooh, Shiny!]]: [[SelfDemonstratingArticle What...?]]
** AttentionDeficitCreatorDisorder: Less so than some on ThisVeryWiki, but yes, indeed.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: Though easily frustrated by little things, I actually have [[BerserkButton very few buttons]] that can seriously be pressed. When they are... [[UnstoppableRage Run.]]
* BiTheWay: Though I tend to give off the impression of [[{{Asexuality}} having no interest at all]]...
** DepravedBisexual / MemeticMolester: A joke among some of my friends, perpetuated out of irony.
* CannotTellAJoke: In direct conversation, if I try to make one, it tends to rely heavily on ViewersAreGeniuses. Sometimes averted through [[SurrealHumour blatant absurdity and circular logic]].
* CannotTellALie: I am very, ''very'' bad at actually ''lying''. ExactWords, [[SubvertedTrope however...]]
* CausticCritic: Possibly [[DoubleSubverted doubly subverted]]. If I like something, I will follow my nitpicking with unrestrained gushing; if I dislike something, the venom will eat through your desk.
* CelibateHero: Not really by choice, though.
* TheChewToy: You'd be surprised.
* CloudCuckooLander: Most people, upon meeting me, fall under the impression that I have AspergersSyndrome. I don't. I'm just odd.
* CovertPervert: Most people don't expect my [[BlackComedy rather]] [[DeadBabyComedy twisted]] sense of humour upon meeting me. This is resolved quite quickly.
* DeadpanSnarker: When I am, I am ''very'' deadpan. But most of the time I'm just [[LiteralMinded really]] [[DoesNotUnderstandSarcasm literal]].
** TheSnarkKnight: [[TakeThatMe I'm often just as worthy as any.]]
* DevilsAdvocate: Oh, dear...
* DitzyGenius / GeniusDitz: Having a strong tendency to freely associate mid-conversation, forget what one is doing in the middle of a simple task and [[CompletelyMissingThePoint generally miss the point]] does not necessarily indicate stupidity... nor does an encyclopedic knowledge of obscure historical, literary and musical minutiae indicate any degree of common sense.
* EntryPimp: Online and in [[RealLife the "real world"]] for just about any random band or author I'm into at the moment.
* FanNickname: I have gained some fairly bizarre monikers in my time, most of which are based upon [[NoodleIncident incidents too complicated to explain]]. Example: [[NeverLiveItDown Creampuff]].
* ForHappiness: Always.
* FountainOfMemes: Among my friends. I am essentially a living in-joke generator.
* FreakyIsCool: My entire modus operandi.
** NightmareFetishist: Not to the extremes of some, although my favourite artistic works tend to be ''made'' of MindScrew or HighOctaneNightmareFuel.
* {{Geek}}: [[SarcasmMode So very surprising.]]
** {{Nerd}}: To a lesser extent.
* {{Hipster}}: My music taste tends to lead people to this conclusion; in point of fact, most of what I listen to, while obscure and weird, isn't very hip at all.
* TheHyena: Life is suffering. Ergo, it is hilarious.
* ImprobablyHighIQ: See "Ditzy Genius" for why this is functionally irrelevant.
* InsaneTrollLogic: Averted. Most of what I'm talking about ultimately makes ''some'' sense, but the connections are complicated and random enough to throw most people off.
** ObfuscatingInsanity: Sometimes this is entirely intentional. Usually, it's not.
* InsufferableGenius: When confronted with stupidity, I simply go as far as I can in the opposite direction.
* IntelligenceEqualsIsolation: My childhood, in a nutshell. [[BetterThanItSounds Which didn't actually suck.]]
** LonersAreFreaks: And damn proud of it!
* {{Keet}}: Sometimes. Mention [[http://mutant-sounds.blogspot.com/ Mutant Sounds]] and I'll give you my best [[{{Squee}} Fanboy Squee]].
* KnowNothingKnowItAll: I try to avoid this, but sometimes... it's not pretty.
* LargeHam: Oh, yes. Especially when performing in front of an audience.
* LiteralMinded: Very.
* LogicBomb: One of my favourite things.
* {{NEET}}: Basically. It's a tad depressing.
* NiceGuy: I try. I really do.
** JerkWithAHeartOfGold: [[WhatTheHellHero I slip]] [[NiceJobBreakingItHero sometimes.]]
* NinjaEditor: ''[[SugarWiki/MostTriumphantExample *edit*]]''
* NoSocialSkills: Better at this than I used to be. Specifically...
** NoSenseOfPersonalSpace: There ''is'' such a thing? How quaint!
* SesquipedalianLoquaciousness: Indubitably.
* ShutIn: Borderline example.
* TheSlacker: So very much so...
* TooCleverByHalf: When I'm not just flat-out irritating.
* VerbalTic: Plenty, the most notable being: "I mean, ''really''..."
* [[WhatDoYouMeanItWasntMadeOnDrugs What Do You Mean, You're Not On Drugs?]]: I get that ''a lot''. And by a lot, I mean when people aren't politely avoiding the question or assuming a sound "yes, he definitely is." To the latter: I'm terribly sorry for trampling all over your expectations. I really am.
* WhatTheHellIsThatAccent: I'm from a particular part of my state that has a ''very'' hard-to-place, quirky accent, which combined with my voice makes things even more mystifying.
* TheWonka: Sometimes.
* XanatosGambit: [[ObfuscatingInsanity When they least expect it.]]

* Returning the favor. Considering the guy's amazing musical knowledge and taste I had to do this. -@/Akalabth
