History Tropers / Karalora

If you see someone named Karalora anywhere on the Web, it's me. Say hi!

[[AC:Vital Statistics:]]
* Age: 41
* Occupation: Data entry flunky
* Location: San Fernando Valley, California

[[AC:Obsessive Fandoms:]]
* ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender''
** ''WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfKorra'' hasn't grabbed me as much for some reason.
* {{Literature/Discworld}}
* DisneyAnimatedCanon and [[Ride/DisneyThemeParks theme parks]].
* ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse''. New best show ever? New. Best. Show. '''Ever.'''

[[AC:Lesser Fandoms:]]
* ''Literature/TheDresdenFiles.'' I'm current on the books and have seen about half the first season of the TV series. The books are better. Jim Butcher has obviously put a lot of thought into his UrbanFantasy.
* Franchise/IndianaJones. It helps that back in 1995, Disney and George Lucas went ahead and [[{{Crossover}} crossed it over]] with the Disney theme parks for me.
* ''VideoGame/KingdomHearts''. I would be more into it, but [[YaoiFangirl the rest of the fandom]] only seems to be interested in [[IfYouKnowWhatIMean one thing]].
* VideoGame/TheLegendOfZelda.

[[AC:Fading Fandoms:]]
* {{Anime}}, sadly enough. (I think I started to lose interest a few years ago when it went mainstream and suddenly the local shopping center was filled with middle-school [[{{Naruto}} Narutards]].) I still have fond memories of the series I used to be into, however, and am often willing to hold forth on ''FushigiYuugi'', ''TheSlayers'', and ''Anime/VisionOfEscaflowne.'' But not [[NeonGenesisEvangelion Eva]]. ''Never'' [[NeonGenesisEvangelion Eva]].
** And now after several false starts, ''Main/AxisPowersHetalia'' is starting to grow on me, so who knows what the future may hold?
* Franchise/HarryPotter. I think my enthusiasm started to run out around the time Book 6 was published. So much fanfare for so little reward...

[[AC:Tropes Proposed, Launched, Named, Extensively Edited, Or Otherwise Heavily Contributed To:]]

What? I don't have time to keep track of all that!

Samiland--who is SantaClaus in the [=SatW=] universe--disappears on the eve of December. Turns out he's been kidnapped by ('''BUM BUM BUM''') Nazi Germany, who wants to [[BadSanta usurp his position]] and use the power of Christmas magic to make his own dreams of world domination come true.

Chupacabras may or may not be involved.
* [[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/8286968/1/Locks "Locks"]]--A serious one for a change, based on the illustration [[http://satwcomic.com/white-slave "White Slave."]] Norway is MadeASlave while traveling in North Africa and must cope with not only the brutal physical conditions he is subjected to, but the gradual erosion of his psyche. How much will be left of him by the time Denmark raises the money for his release?
* [[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/8576789/1/Clash-of-the-Daredevils-North-Vs-South "Clash of the Daredevils: North vs. South!"]]--Once upon a time, there were the 2012 Summer Olympics. But who cares? [[CoolVsAwesome Australia and Iceland]] are going toe-to-toe to see who's the bigger {{Badass}}!
