History Main / AllLowercaseLetters

there seems to be a minor -- but growing -- trend in {{fanfiction}} to have the story's title written entirely in lowercase, while the story itself uses correct capitalizations (though stories written in all lowercase is not unheard of). for some reason, these stories tend to be relatively well-written, full of {{shipping}} and particularly {{angst}}y. [[Website/ArchiveOfOurOwn archive of our own, also known as ao3]], in particular has a lot of fanfics with lowercase titles.

* ''[[Fanfic/NoStarsInSight no stars in sight]]'' has almost all of its chapter titles written in lowercase letters with the exception of the first chapter, which serves as a prologue to the story. the version on [[Website/ArchiveOfOurOwn ao3]] has an all-lowercase title.

* LetsPlay/{{chuggaaconroy}}'s name. in his 50 facts video he revealed he wanted to use the name chugga a. conroy (with uppercase c's), but youtube username restrictions (at the time) prevented him from using this name. however, when youtube gave him the option to change his name to one with several words, he still kept his username as it was, possibly because his fans recognize him as it has been for several years. on {{Website/facebook}} and {{Website/twitter}}, though, his name is written with an uppercase c in the beginning.
* both LetsPlay/{{pokecapn}} and LetsPlay/{{medibot}} type their names like this. pokecapn also uses it for his Website/{{youtube}} video descriptions and comments, though his Website/{{something awful}} posts [[AvertedTrope aren't like this.]]

* [[Website/YouTube youtube]] video captions generated using their transcribe audio feature are often like this.

* custom tags on [[Website/ArchiveOfOurOwn archive of our own]] ignore any capitalization when the work is saved, and appear in all lowercase until the tagging team makes them canon.

* Website/{{facebook}}, both its logo and some postings.

* Website/{{tumblr}}:

* christopher poole (aka moot or mootykins), creator of [[Website/FourChan 4chan]] and its spin-off ''canv.as'', always types like this when replying to his users.

* in ''[[LetsPlay/{{Dream}} dream's]]'' youtube profile picture, "dream" is uncapitalized.

* ''VideoGame/{{heretic}}'' and ''VideoGame/{{hexen}}'', except for the title logos.
* the title of {{roguelike}} platformer ''VideoGame/{{hets}}''.

* ''VideoGame/{{the white chamber}}'''s title.
* ''VideoGame/{{telling lies}}'' is stylized as [[LuckyCharmsTitle ''telling l!es'']].
* ''[[VideoGame/{{UIN}} uin]]'s'' dialogue.
* chaos from ''VideoGame/{{xenosaga}}'' which is done in contrast to the all caps KOS-MOS
* planet's speech in ''[[VideoGame/SidMeiersAlphaCentauri sid meier's alpha centauri]]'' is never capitalized. it also constantly refers to specific people as "earth<name>" (e.g. earthdeirdre).
* ''VideoGame/{{supplice}}'' has an {{apocalyptic log}} from a scared worker which is all in lowercase. probably because the person in question is too delirious to write coherent sentences.

* catie from ''[[VideoGame/BoxxyQuestTheGatheringStorm boxxyquest: the gathering storm]]'' likes to speak this way.

* ''VideoGame/{{undertale}}'':
** napstablook in speaks in all lowercase, likely due to being depressed.
** sans seems to speak in all lowercase as well, to contrast his brother papyrus who speaks in [[CapsLock all capitals]], but then you see sans capitalize the word "i" sometimes; the joke is that he talks like he's typing and is too lazy to type properly. [[spoiler:if he speaks in proper capitalization, it means he's being [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness very serious]].]]
** alphys' undernet messages are often written this way, and her logs in [[spoiler:the true lab]] fully lapse into this after her 9th entry, but goes back to capital letters for the 14th and 15th entries (the 16th too, [[RapidFireNo but for different reasons]]).
* unlike ''undertale's'' all uppercase title, ''[[VideoGame/{{deltarune}} deltarune's]]'' title is all lowercase.

* ''[[VideoGame/EmilyIsAway emily is away]]'' does this, [[spoiler:until things start getting serious towards the end of the game.]]

* ''VideoGame/{{phantom doctrine}}:'' code names of people and places and organisations that you find when reviewing intel are usually in this format. e.g. "I went to lake house and met eel monitor, who claimed to represent obsidian eyes."
* ''[[Franchise/TheKingOfFighters the king of fighters xi]]'' uses this for most of its text; an example being character names.
* the racing game ''art of rally'' has the title and all in-game text (aside from some billboards) in all lowercase.

* ''VideoGame/NoOneHasToDie''

* ''Webcomic/{{housepets}}'': aardvark's name (or at least, [[OnlyKnownByTheirNickname what everyone calls him]]) is rendered in lowercase letters via the site's tagging system, potentially to play up his complete nobody status.

* the links in ''website/{{nobody here}}'''s main page are spelled in all-lowercase.
