Going to suggest the third panel from this. The second-to-last one is already in use on Die for Our Ship, but 3 probably has the most freaked out Reaction Shot (Well, aside from Ty Lee, but without the Discussed Trope aspect that panel looks more like generic Brain Bleach).

Not bad, but I'd like to see other options if they're out there.

Maybe fanart of the Phoenix Wright crew discovering fanfics of themselves? Featuring a couple shocked expressions from Phoenix and Edgeworth and a Spit Take from Godot.

If not this, then OP might work too.

I think a group shot works better.

I don't think this can really work without being a Discussed Trope. A good caption may help images that lack this aspect, but that's a last resort in my opinion. There's no way to tell in 3 if they're looking at fan fiction, or a Shock Site, or anything really. It only illustrates a shock Reaction Shot.

  • Is this this a good representation of the trope? Not much about "fanfic" as waifufaggotry fans having a preference towars a certain character. (danbooru says that the source is an anonymous drawfag at an imageboard)

Edit: the image seems to work if i copy the adress and paste it in the adress bar, nevertheless have a imgur link here

[tup] 6. This is probably as good as it gets, would be hard to find another photo of a character reading fanservice of himself.

6 with a width of 350px. Unfortunately the text is hard to make out.

[up]I will point out that the suggested image is currently being used on Slash Fic. That being said, I think it's far better here, and I think we can do better there anyway.

It's also better than the other suggestion here.

6 is so confusing that I can't make out what's going on, and I think the text would be almost unreadable at wiki size.

I'm thinking that a crop of the three figures on the right hand side of the last panel of this page from Girl Genius, along with an appropriate comment, might work better.

^ Same here. 14 is not straight forward enough.

M Aybe a two by two? The one with Sokka came from a larger connection. Asami and Tenzin and Aang's master (forget his name) all react as well...

The clock's up and I'm not seeing any real consensus on what to do. Locking up.
