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.

Okay, now I'm convinced we could do Reader-Insert Fic for Image of the Month.

I can whip up a draft for the description later. On mobile so I may not add it directly, but yeah ~

Edit: I wonder if we can sneak in an apology parody somewhere lol

Amazing, I've added the section names.

Also, I'm pinging ~Black Faith Star ~Coachpill ~Asterlix and ~Rmpdc to ask if they plan to contribute this month.

I'd like to apologize for all this.

I changed my mind, I'll probably make a different entry in another month. I have 3 exams next week.

Oh, I forgot to browse the thread first, I'd forgotten you commented. Sorry for the ping and good luck with your exams.

Same goes for Coachpill, he already said he wanted to contribute here.

I think my sense of humor is broken for the moment, I can't seem to think about a good enough joke entry. So I don't think I'll contribute this month.

Here there be cats.

I'm sorry that I wasn't active that much for this month's April Fools issue, but I'm inclined to add an entry for Spit Shine for Obscure Tropes to celebrate National No Housework Day. I'm interested on what will go on in May's issue, given that I discovered on Wikipedia and on the timeline that TV Tropes will be 20 years old in April.

WRITEUP:

  • Do you want to celebrate National No Housework Day on April 7, but you can't because your nagging wife wants you to clean the floor? No problem. Introducing Trope Co.'s 2011 project, Spit Shine™. We can send thirty employees to your house to spit on your floor and wipe it with their hands, leaving the floor clean. Now your wife will be really grateful to you for cleaning the floor. We've only had 28 customersnote , but you could be our next one! Call 555-0166 to get this incredible offer! Trope Co. is not responsible for our vulgar employees or your impending divorce from your wife.

As for Projects:

  •    Ufufufu. So, the Danganronpa pages are littered with such unpleasant entries and descriptions, huh? All that gushing and creepiness won't stand! I, Monokuma, will need an Ultimate Troper who can slaughter these issues once and for all. Destroy them at the Danganronpa cleanup thread. Remember, don't get caught or it's punishment time for you!

Realized that the color combo might make it a bit hard to read, so I may have to either do a different color or just forgo the formatting.

Edit: Finally found about white-on-black. Does that work?

[up] Yeah, it'll be hard to get those colors adjusted.

I'll just forgo the evil: color set. It's not good with blue links.

Edit: Added, minus the color adjustments.

If we need to delay it like last year, that is fine. Last year, we stated that the article was snatched up by TV Troops. Maybe have the "video still rendering/copyright issue" options?
