Hi, fellow tropers! Hiiii!

I'm Alice Macher. Pleased ta meetcha.

Favourite tropes:

• Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking
• Betty and Veronica
• Bi the Way
• Coming Out Story - when done creatively
• Crack Fic
• Epiphanic Prison
• Good Parents - because you don't need a dysfunctional family for a compelling story
• Happily Married - see Good Parents
• Love Dodecahedron - when done plausibly and coherently
• My Hovercraft is Full of Eels
• Nerds Are Sexy
• Real Life - because life is awesome! Except when it's not, of course.
• Rousing Speech

Pet Peeve Tropes:

• Anything That Moves, Depraved Bisexual and No Bisexuals - one day, these will be as universally discredited in fiction as "AllGaysAre" tropes have recently become. One day.
• Butt Monkey, when taken to extremes and with no Throw the Dog a Bone
• Slap-Slap-Kiss - overdone and rarely done realistically

Selected Favourite Works:

• Fans!
• Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell
• Looney Tunes (yay Bugs Bunny)
• Monty Python's Flying Circus
• My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic
• The Odd Couple
• Penny and Aggie
• QUILTBAG
• The Producers*
  The original 1968 film. I've never seen the later musical, nor the film based on it.
• Promethea
• The Sandman
• The Simpsons
• Watchmen
• Young Frankenstein*
  Again, the film, not the later musical which I've never seen.
• Zen And The Art Of Motorcycle Maintenance

Tropes That Describe Me:

• Genki Girl
• Motor Mouth as a kid. I Got Better.
• New Age Retro Hippie
