Hi. I'm iluvtvtropes, a relatively new troper here who discovered this site and fell in love with it. I also blame this site for decline in health, social life and lost revenue as I have literally spent the entire waking hours of a few weeks reading all the different tropes here (I kid about the blame part, but sadly not everything else)
Hmm, let's see...a few things about me. Originally I was thinking of just putting this page up and letting other tropers build this page themselves (they would build this page based on opinions or facts formed from my edits), but then I decided that that probably wouldn't work all that well. So here's some stuff about me.
Well, I'm an aspiring writer (aren't we all, hehe). Since I don't have anything real to show for it yet, I guess I'm a pretty pathetic one at that. I'm an admitted and unapologetic snarker as you can probably tell from the vast majority of my edits.
Uhhh...what else. Well, I actually do have a million story ideas I'd like to see come to fruition. A lot of them involve Cat Girls. Either they're as good as I think or I'm just delusional.
As you can probably tell at this point I'm an anti-social/suntan Otaku.
Just to prove the above point, I'm trying to work on an Inuyasha doujin with a complete stranger who can draw better than me (because I flat-out suck as an artist). As it is Fan Fiction and I don't want to become a case of Small Name, Big Ego I'll end mention of it for now, though I will say works like Sailor Nothing are an inspiration. So feel free to run away now.
In either case it'll probably be stillborn anyway.
Other than that, my main hobby is tending to the potting soil of Epileptic Trees. As you can see, quite a few theories have been proposed by me, the vast majority of them quite bizarre and almost always involving a crossover. I believe that everything's connected to each other - Kagome stumbled upon a stargate and ran into a evil Time Lord who has to be stopped by Captain Jean-Luc Picard of the USS Millenium Falcon.
Well, that's pretty much it. My offer to freely add info to this page is still up, so feel free to add whatever you want. And if I don't like it, I'll delete it, and you can try to add it in verbatim again :)
Also, I have an Evil Twin known as "iluvtvtroeps" created when I misspelled my name and accidentally hit "Create Know-ledge!" instead of "Already known, just bake me a new cookie"
Below is an incomplete list of some of my favorite creative works, filled in as I feel like it:
Favorite Manga Series
- Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou
- as the count stands now, I've contributed over 6,000 words to its WMG page (the vast majority of its WMG page, in fact) and who knows how many wiks. As a friend once said, if I had put that much energy into something actually creative, original, and not based on the Fox Mulder School of Rational Thought, I'd have written a pretty damn good book by now (he went on further to say that this is proof that I'm obsessed and that I have no life)
Favorite Anime Series
- Eureka7
- Cowboy Bebop
- Trigun, one of my absolute favorites
- FLCL
- Great Teacher Onizuka
Favorite Non-Anime Series
Favorite Live-Action Sci-Fi series, TV or film
Favorite Literary Sci-Fi series
- Enders Game
- The Homecoming series, also by Orson Scott Card
- Just to show that I'm not a complete OSC fanboy, not a big fan of either Treasure Box or Empire
- On that note, I do really like his Folk of the Fringe anthology
-
Almost anything written by Larry NivenOh My God he writes some horrible crap now!- Let's just say The Mote In Gods Eye and Ringworld for now
- Very much into Neil Gaiman
Favorite Sci-Fi Video/Computer Games
- TIE Fighter (my absolute favorite video/computer game of any genre; don't mean to brag but I did create the article for that one)
- Secret Weapons Of The Luftwaffe
- most flight sims, actually
- Half Life
- Portal
- Counter Strike and Team Fortress 2 are my absolute favorite FPS games
- The Command And Conquer series, especially the Red Alert series,
my most favorite RTS games of allI forgot Homeworld existedThen Red Alert 3 came along - Homeworld, really my most favorite RTS game of all time and probably second of most favorite game of any genre next to TIE Fighter
- rather than listing a lot of games, I'll just say I'm a Nintendo/Mario fanboy
Favorite Misc.
Favorite Cartoons He Likes To Watch To Prove He's Mentally Much Younger Than He Looks
Favorite TV Trope
- Wild Mass Guessing, as if you had to guess :p
This Troper Is An Example Of:
- Cloudcuckoolander
- Walls of Text
- A splitter and lumper for this wiki and That Other Wiki, respectively. Yeah, I suppose it's a bit weird that I'd be one for one wiki and the other for The Other. Sometimes I may decide to Subvert myself depending on the article.
- Entry Pimp, especially for Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou, TIE Fighter, Sci Fi Debris and for whatever reason the trope Exactly What It Says on the Tin.
- Made Of Lose: Very much so
Trope pages I've actually created
...actually, I prefer to stay mum on this subject. Partially because, well, to be honest, I've rather forgotten which ones, but also I don't want to develop a case of Small Name, Big Ego, so I'd rather just leave it at that. After all, the tropes themselves are the important things! The only thing I will say though is that I didn't actually create the YKK WMG page, though as I've already admitted (at last I knew) I did create most of the content on there. And, as I've also admitted, it's not exactly something to be proud of, really.
Oh, and I did admit to creating the TIE Fighter page. But I lampshaded that one so HA!
