Trope Report - WikiNewsletter

Where do you go to read the latest about new tropes? What about old tropes with new names? How can you find the best but least linked tropes out there? Worry no more: Trope Report is here.

Trope Report is a new newsletter by and for Tropers that gives you all your Trope News and Wiki Report.

Columns within the weekly(?) Trope Report might someday include:

Forumwatch: shows non-forum Tropers any interesting/important/amusing developments in the forums.

Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes: any upcoming or just happened changes in tropes or trope names (such as would go in the Trope Repair Forum).

Spotlight Stealing Trope: One trope is spotlighted, brought out from behind the velvet curtain, and thrust forward for the viewing public.

Edits From The Editor: Comments from one of this wiki's main editors, Fast Eddie or Janitor.

Needs More Wiki Love: A few tropes that desparately need your help in getting more examples/a better description/a better name.

Add More Here: No, seriously, add more here. Meta Humor - Humor Column, Work of the Week - Spotlighting a particular work and it Tropes.

This is the Forum Spin-Off of the old Newsletter, which sadly died. But fear not! I, Scholastica Parable, as the new Chief Editor (and our team of 2-3 writers) am dedicated to bringing the news of TV Tropes right to your screen and will begin our newsletter tomorrow (well, technically today)!

Awesome idea!

Hey interesting. :)

Needs a Humor Column called "Meta Humor".

So, how soon can we expect content?

^^ Noted and added.

^ Sometime in the next 24 hours.

Willing to help, here.

Sweet. What do you want to do?

Can I do a column about Freeware Games?

I'd like to help too.

Just point me in the right direction.

Ooh, how about a weekly Touhou-artic- *shot*

I might like to try my hand at an article or humor column or something.

Krrackknut and Gelzo: Noted, we'll bang our heads together with Morven and think up something later when I'm not half asleep with my finals tomorrow.

Charlatan and Lemurian: Work of the Week is now created. This column will be dedicated to a particular work and the Tropes that make it up. So you can do whatever games you want Char, and the games I know you want to do, Lemurian.

How about a column that details something that needs more wiki love?

He has already included that.

It is already up there:

Needs More Wiki Love: A few tropes that desparately need your help in getting more examples/a better description/a better name.

If you mean a piece of work or series, that would fall under Work of the Week, in which case it is up to the writer/editor of that column to pimp it out.

I'd love to contribute to the Needs More Wiki Magic Love section.

I think the Ch-Ch-Changes would be better with another "Ch", making it Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes. Kinda like that one jingle.

^^ Noted ^ and noted.

Alright, I'm about to conk out, so PM if you have any questions or want to volunteer. I plan to make this a weekly thing at the least, so lets butt our head together and make it happen!

Also reminds me of the Decadriver.

By the by... Stuff White People Like needs a page. I wrote a summary on one of the topics, but nothing happened with it yet.

Yes, but can we expect the same defamatory quote mining we've come to expect from Parable News?

Hmm, it's a palindrome.

Sounds interesting.

*head explodes from awesome*

Already exists.

In fact, this wasn't the first time a newsletter was attempted.
