History FanFic / PortalThe4thMillenniumFranchise

* CanonDefilement: '' All the time. Portal 2'' story was completely stashed away as being non-canon, and ''MS Paint Adventures'' apocalypse is actually [[{{Mayincatec}} closer to when you would ''expect'' it to be.]]

* RonTheDeathEater: ''Portal: The 4th Millennium'' franchise should get a prize for turning ''a HeroicMime'' into the main antagonistic character (as far as protagonists and antagonists go there).

*** 4. Then imagine said characters eventually became {{Mary Sue}}-level.

* LastSupperSteal: The Thirteen / The Eleven, combining this with the motif of the Zodiac trolls and {{Unperson}} later on.

* A ''perfect intermediary'' between {{Loads And Loads Of Characters}} and MinimalistCast: there are thirteen main characters (with some being more "main" than the others), with guest stars appearing from time to time.
** It could be called a sliding scale of character importance.

* ''Portal 2: [[{{Sequelphobic}} The Stupidest Sequel of All Time]]''. Cut to 2107, the world of the alternate reality game. Chell "Johnson" is awakened by some crazy automated system and notices Wheatley. They go through ''Portal 1'' world, much changed since the ''Portal 1'' times, encounter Doug Rattmann and the {{Companion Cube}} and get to awaken GLaDOS. Since that's where the alternate reality game ends, end of story? Not in the slightest. Just stuff Chell and Doug into ''Portal'' [[FridgeLogic ''mods'']], including the same goddamn ''The Fake Community-Made'' and three mods the author chose to see as his favorites, namely ''Blue Portals'', ''Portal: Prelude'' and ''Portal:Access All Areas'' or ''Portal 2:Access All Areas''. Then have a whole lot of crazy plotholes happen and bam, the author is turned into a Fan Fiction Writer of the 22nd Century. (Googling that leads to Sherlock Holmes in the 22nd century, so don't try that. Or googling ASCAIS, for that matter.)

** Intermediary space: Cut to the present day, the Business Magnet (he mentioned it so many times, he must be right) comes across an {{Eldritch Abomination}} made by an alternate version of Session #257, "[[{{Kizzsprite}} Sburban Kizzsprite]]". After killing an innocent victim, "irenicPie", the Business Magnet takes his pen against Sburban Kizzsprite by continuing writing a sequel to ''Portal 2: The Stupidest Sequel of All Time'' only to find himself dead. He (who OF COURSE comes back to life) and irenicPie make friends, switch bodies and turn into Alternian trolls.

* FilkSong: The author has rewritten Want You Gone at least ''four'' times: [[http://pastebin.com/3QNwu9UZ a parody version that steals lines from Still Alive]], [[http://dl.dropbox.com/u/29956148/huw-tu-mud-lik-pa.htm the first verse as sung towards Yellowapple's trolling]], [[http://pastebin.com/b3uAMYaj the first verse as sung by Sburban Kizzsprite]] and [[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7823539/1/The_Credits_Song The Credits Song, supposed to end Portal 2: The Stupidest Sequel of All Time]].

** Sburban Kizzsprite, for one, has an indestructible server network telling him how he is going to die in alternate timelines, so that he can avoid it and continue living.
*** Combine that with the fact that he aspires to take over the world and... well... this universe is doomed.
*** Though, that still doesn't explain how he manages to die in the alternate timelines, where the server network is still working.

* TalkingAnimal: Sburban Kizzsprite.
** A JustifiedTrope, Kizzy the Chinchilla was a normal chinchilla before [[TheGamePlaysYou that goddamn game.]]

Made by a person taken straight from [[CommieLand the former Soviet Union]] [[hottip:*:Technically, work on ''Portal: The 4th Millennium'' franchise started (2008 December) after the Soviet Union's dissolution (1991 December) and the "earliest point" of the franchise (1910 April) occurs before the Bolshevik take-over of Russian Empire (1918 November).]], [[VideoGame/{{Portal}} Aperture Science]] [[OverlyLongName Business Magnet]] (later changed to "''Portal: The 4th Millennium Wiki'' Narrator" for no apparent reason), ''Portal: The 4th Millennium'' franchise has conquered the most random Google searches you could imagine.

-->[[UsefulNotes/{{Lithuania}} Aperture Science 3007 Colony]], officially the Republic of Idiots (Idiotų Respublika) is a nickname for an Aperture Science colony in northern Europe, the southernmost of the three Baltic colonies (the other ones, [[spoiler:[[UsefulNotes/{{Latvia}} and UsefulNotes/{{Estonia}}]], being controlled by Black Mesa). Situated along the southeastern shore of the Baltic Sea, it shares borders with [[spoiler:Latvia]] to the north, [[spoiler:UsefulNotes/{{Belarus}}]] / White Russia to the southeast, [[spoiler:UsefulNotes/{{Poland}}]], oops I mean Land of Life and No Death, and the [[spoiler:UsefulNotes/{{Russia}}n exclave of Kaliningrad]] to the southwest. Across the Baltic Sea to the west lies [[UsefulNotes/{{Sweden}} the country which claims it made]] Videogame/{{Minecraft}} and [[UsefulNotes/{{Denmark}} another one full of pigs.]] Its population is 3320 (99.9% of its original population emigrated). Its capital is [[CreatorProvincialism the Village Meškučiai]] and largest city is [[spoiler:Vilnius]].

Made by a person taken straight from [[CommieLand the former Soviet Union]] [[hottip:*:Technically, work on ''Portal: The 4th Millennium'' franchise started (2008 December) after the Soviet Union's dissolution (1991 December) and the "earliest point" of the franchise (1910 April) occurs before the Bolshevik take-over of Russian Empire (1918 November).]], [[{{Portal}} Aperture Science]] [[OverlyLongName Business Magnet]] (later changed to "''Portal: The 4th Millennium Wiki'' Narrator" for no apparent reason), ''Portal: The 4th Millennium'' franchise has conquered the most random Google searches you could imagine.

* ''{{Portal}}: [[{{Futurama}} The 4th Millennium]]''. (Insert ''Portal 1'' plot here) Cut to 3000s, Aperture is in complete half-disrepair and is run by [[strike:a purely artificial A.I. called <<Spectator Name Here>>]] an apparent heir apparent to Cave Johnson called Aperture Science Business Magnet, who also has the ability to make stuff work in insane ways. He made a whole new ''Earth'' in such a way, and everything was fine and dandy. Well, maybe except that the enemies from a thousand years ago were still here.

* ''{{Portal 2}}: [[FanSequel The Fake Community-Made]]''. Cut to the present day. After finishing their epic saga, several leftover members of ''Thinking with Portals'' forum, most notably a guy THINKING that he is the Business Magnet, gather around and think "''Portal'' is dead! We need something else! Perhaps a ''Portal 2''! Yeah, we definitely need a ''Portal 2''!" It attempted to snowball from here, with "the Business Magnet" compiling what he worked on in Hammer Editor and stuffing it into a mod. Though, it simply appeared to get (?) Valve's attention, and they launched an alternate reality game everyone expected to relate to ''Half-Life 2: Episode Three'', but guess what. It was not.

* A ''perfect intermediary'' between {{Loads And Loads Of Characters}} and {{Omega Cast}}: there are thirteen main characters (with some being more "main" than the others), with guest stars appearing from time to time.

* RidiculousFutureSequelization: In [[OfficialFanfictionUniversity OFU]] Portal: The 4th Millennium Edition, set in early "2015c", TheHalfWorld is at HFF #413, which is [[PurpleProse Complacency of the Learned]].

*** "…the number 22 is following me. How many points maximum could an applicant get on the canon test? 22. How many submissions did Alix and I get before we closed registration? 22. I'm glancing over my shoulder for 22s now…"
**** Except ''that wasn't even the Business Magnet'' who said that.

** 2011: The Grand Relaunch, which is preceded with a recap that is as good as a YetAnotherChristmasCarol.

* ''The Inevitable Sunset''. Cut to the present day. The Business Magnet is suffering an AuthorBreakdown and his worst enemy suddenly takes it over. She isn't very good at managing such things, almost instantly making a MarySue of herself, and in the unreleased ending by a secondary manager quits the idea and lives on her life with Doug in Mexico, hence closing Era 1.

*** Though it ''really'' is the third anniversary, which makes ''Portal: The 4th Millennium'' franchise ''itself'' a huge Christmas Episode.

** 2011: The Grand Relaunch, which is preceded with a recap that is as good as a ChristmasCarol.

* ChristmasEpisode: [[http://archiveofourown.org/works/138805/chapters/205736 In which the holiday changed several times, anger was unleashed, and which overall didn't make sense.]]

* TheWikiRule: ''[[http://www.xn--portal-4-asis-tkstantmetis-zgf.lt/mediawiki/index.php/Main_Page Portal: The 4th Millennium (Franchise) Wiki III]]''. (There was a first wiki, but the author seems to have abandoned a wiki on a wiki farm in favor of this.

* TheWikiRule: ''[[http://portal-the-4th-millennium.wikia.com/ Portal: The 4th Millennium (Franchise) Wiki]]''.
** A bit overboard. If you take notice, ''Portal: The 4th Millennium Wiki'' is listed as the Business Magnet's ''home page.''

Hence,

!!''Portal: The 4th Millennium'' franchise is divided into these main parts:

* ''[[{{Prequel}} Portal: Prelude]] [[FanConvention Convention]]''. Cut to [=GLaDOS=]'s ([[FanNickname or should I say,]] ASCAIS's) turn-on. Most of Aperture Science employees from all times are invited, and it becomes what you could best call a fan convention. This includes suddenly younger Chell, a Bring Your Daughter To Work Day participant, and pretty much everyone from above stories. They got some stuff, they did some things, and ASCAIS was turned on and "everything went DOWN". It ended there? No! Not so easily! One {{Alternate Universe}} was proposed, involving the Morality Core being stuffed into GLaDOS instead of [[BrickJoke ''Caroline'']] [[UngettableJoke (here, fixed)]], but it never saw the light of the day.

** Intermediary space: The current arc of ''Portal: The 4th Millennium'' franchise is indefinite, and should not be described in detail. One minor arc is ''Sweet Chell and Hella Marrissa'', a parody of [[{{FanFic/ITSMYLIFE}} the worst Portal 2 fan fiction there is]], and the other is the Business Magnet in an Official Fanfiction University thing.

-->''[[TheNewTens Three years.]] [[FreudianTrio Three characters]]. [[RuleOfThree Three]] [[ChooseYourOwnAdventure adventures.]][[TradeSnark ™]]''

* {{Action Girl}}: ''Portal: The 4th Millennium'' franchise has no boundary of what actions are male and what are female, hence, there's three examples: GL@DDA Magnet, Chell Johnson, Lumina Squires.
* {{Actionized Sequel}}: ''Portal 2: The Stupidest Sequel of All Time'' is this to the ''Portal'' game, to the point that it doesn't really fit the atmosphere.
* {{Alternate Self}}: The Business Magnet and the Warweary Serket.

* {{April Fools Day}}: Apparently there was one, but a page about it was lost to the evil Wikia system. ''[[http://portal-the-4th-millennium.wikia.com/index.php?title=Portal_2:_The_Stupidest_Sequel_of_All_Time&oldid=3962 Combine Overtal 2: The Blackest Mesa of All Time]]''.
* {{Artificial Brilliance}}: 0ver5e3r was built to be better than [=GLaDOS=] in every way, and even scores an additional point in the Aperture Intelligence scale.

* {{Bigger Is Better}}: In general. ''Portal: The 4th Millennium'' franchise doesn't play with human sized toys, no, ''everything'' must be at least kilometer in scale.

* {{Canon Defilement}}: '' All the time. Portal 2'' story was completely stashed away as being non-canon, and ''MS Paint Adventures'' apocalypse is actually [[{{Mayincatec}} closer to when you would ''expect'' it to be.]]

* {{Christmas Episode}}: [[http://archiveofourown.org/works/138805/chapters/205736 In which the holiday changed several times, anger was unleashed, and which overall didn't make sense.]]
* {{Deus Est Machina}}: See above.
* {{Dr Pedia and Mr Trope}}: Take a look at what ''Portal: The 4th Millennium Wiki'' claims. Then take a look at [[http://half-life.wikia.com/wiki/Special:Contributions/ASBusinessMagnet the Business Magnet's edits on Combine OverWiki]]. Then take a look at ''Portal: The 4th Millennium Wiki'' again. Your mind is now fucked up for at least several ''years''.

* {{Fan Nickname}}: Names for technology given by Valve and names for technology in ''Portal: The 4th Millennium'' franchise are bound to deviate.

* {{Golden Age}}: [[http://portal-the-4th-millennium.wikia.com/wiki/Portal:_The_4th_Millennium_franchise_timeline#The_Aperture_Science_Golden_Age_.282999_-_3046.29 Literally.]]

* {{Massive Multiplayer Crossover}}: If you write fan fiction for or make a mod for ''Portal'', there is an approximate chance of 10% that the Business Magnet will include it in his ever-expanding franchise.

* {{Missing Episode}}: For a franchise that has colossal amounts of content that was released, expect even more colossal amounts of content that was cut.

* {{No Export For You}}: There is a work, named ''Lena Bestselerovna: The Real Fail'', about the life in the Aperture Science Golden Age, ''which was never translated from Lithuanian''.

* {{Pinocchio Syndrome}}: For any given Aperture Intelligence, expect them to have precisely ''two'' human versions: one that was the intelligence's origin, and one for which ''the intelligence'' is an origin.

* {{Punctuation Shaker}}: If there's any reason to stuff first "@" into a name, then "¤", and then just forget the rules of grammar altogether and talk in apparent gibberish.

* {{Rage Against The Author}}: The latter half of ''Portal 2: The Stupidest Sequel of All Time'' and all the works onwards will almost always feature the creators with a hostile relationship towards the Business Magnet, even when [[NoFourthWall it doesn't make any sense.]]

* {{Rasputinian Death}}: Exaggerated, in the means that the characters use the equivalent of ''plot devices'' to kill each other ''and'' survive. May also be an example of {{Schrodingers Cast}}.

* {{Rule Of Symbolism}}: Most of things occurring in the franchise are either symbolism or references.

* {{Show Within A Show}} Type 4: ''Portal 2: The Stupidest Sequel of All Time'' exists inside ''itself''.

* {{Talking Animal}}: Sburban Kizzsprite.
** A {{Justified Trope}}, Kizzy the Chinchilla was a normal chinchilla before [[TheGamePlaysYou that goddamn game.]]
* {{Unusual Chapter Numbers}}: Being that the Business Magnet is [[TheCuriousIncidentOfTheDogInTheNightTime another 15 year old crazy math nerd]], it is totally expectable. Detailed explanation:

* [[MSPaintAdventures Weird]] {{Fourth Wall}} [[MindScrew Shit]]: To correctly understand how fourth wall works in ''Portal: The 4th Millennium'' franchise, this analogy may help.

* {{The Wiki Rule}}: ''[[http://portal-the-4th-millennium.wikia.com/ Portal: The 4th Millennium (Franchise) Wiki]]''.
