Trope Report Revival

Go To

So over 10 years ago or so, we used to have a newsletter called Trope Report, which covers all of the changes that happened on the wiki weekly. I have been nostalgic for it recently so I thought of it and it seemed to be a fun way to inform tropers about the changes going on around the wiki.

The sandbox for the project can be found at Sandbox.Trope Report Dummy Edition and the sandbox for ideas/plans can be found on Sandbox.Trope Report Ideas. After a new issue is published, revert the Dummy Edition back to a template using the text on Sandbox.Trope Report Template.

Forumwatch could be something akin to a drama YouTuber title where they emphasize random words, like "Has WOKE CULTURE Gone Too Far? - WarJay BANNED for OFFENSIVE Comment"

Edited by FernandoLemon on Mar 16th 2024 at 1:44:02 PM

I'd like to apologize for all this.

IDK if it would just be annoying, but if we're going into the direction of "news" I'm wondering if there could be a different news sound clip in each folder? Or even just the same one over and over? (Which would be even more annoying lol)

Like this:

"Has WOKE CULTURE Gone Too Far? - WarJay BANNED for OFFENSIVE Comment"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ogS_MELUhsc&t=2s

"insert joke here"

Yeah, IDK if we need a sound clip. I think the folders could each be a different style. One is a clickbait countdown, one is clickbait news...

Maybe Project Spotlight could be something like "They did WHAT on that thread?! | Trope-Tan Reacts".

Just shooting for different genres

Okay, a random idea came up just now. Should we do a joke trope entry for Pages Needing Help? People Sit on Chairs, maybe? Or should that be under Obscure Tropes if we want a genuine entry for PNH instead?

We can still do a genuine entry for April Birthday; Phoebe Fox was set aside as an idea.

[up] Looking good so far! [tup]

  • April's birthday is Phoebe Fox, a British actress known for her roles in The Hollow Crown, Black Mirror, and A View from the Bridge. Her description is in dire need of an expansion, while a list of roles would also be appreciated.
  • People Sit on Chairs describes the act of a character sitting down in a chair. With a trope that is so omnipresent, it is a shame that it is now sitting at only 15 wicks, and with so many on-page example to crosswick.

Entry for Pages Needing Help:

  • Like many of the works by Mischief Theatre, Good Luck, Studio focuses on a fictional live work going horribly wrong, in this case a Barney-esque children's show. However, while most of the work pages of the troupe are of a better quality than the works-within-works, Good Luck Studio has no tropes listed as of this entry being written. This makes it dangerously close to being cut, and only some well-rehearsed writing will make it less of a trainwreck than the show within the show.

Thinking of writing one of my entries like a stereotypical stoner, given it's 420 month too, though I'm not sure if I should utilize it for the PSA thread in Forumwatch, or for Trope Spotlight.

PSA could be fun, if you tie the stoner voice into anti-drug PSAs like Reefer Madness.

Here's the initial draft of the thread's writeup:

  • Dude... Apparrently, for this April issue (must be 420 stuff), I've been hired to write this PSA to advise our readers about the harm of marijuana, or perhaps the lack of harms, he he... Anyway, smoking marijuana is bad, and so is tobacco, and drunk driving, and speeding, and murder, and stealing, and drunk driving, and speeding, and everything else. You readers should be probably be grateful, since many PSAs are super gory or scary, but if you don't churn when watching or listening to super gory or scary PSAs, then head over to PSA, PIF, and similar Thread, he he... ah, fuck this shit, I'm not needed anymore for this entry. I'm going home to hit my bong and tune in to Reefer Madness. He he... what a funny movie.

An Aesop has been made a definition-only supertrope to the various Stock Aesops, with its description being reworked to clarigy that it's about moral lessons specifcally, rather than merely themes. TRS thread here.

Btw, is it just me or should there be a second person on the left pointing at something so it becomes the wojak pointing meme?
