History Roleplay / Glowfic

* MoralityChain: Jean pretty clearly has one or several {{Ambiguous Disorder}}s that limit his ability to empathize or relate to (most) other people. His sister has to set rules for him to follow to keep him at socially acceptable levels of behavior. Predictably, bad things happen if she is removed from the picture in some way, ''especially'' if the setting itself exacerbates his screwed-up-ness.

* ''Roleplay/ProjectLawful'', known on the glowfic constellation as ''planecrash'', by [[Creator/EliezerYudkowsky Iarwain]] and Lintamande, in which the nation of Cheliax from ''{{TabletopGame/Pathfinder}}'' receives an extradimensional visitor and does its best to conquer the world with his assistance while also doing its best to avoid letting on to him that that's what they're doing.

* DimensionalTraveler: ''Extremely'' common in Effulgence once [[InterdimensionalTravelDevice Jane]] made interdimensional travel easy.

* OnlyOneName: Pretty common among Jokers.

* WhichMe: Mostly [[AvertedTrope averted]] thanks to the use of disambiguating nicknames.

%]** There is also a married pair of Maglors.

Glowfic is the collective term for various interrelated [[JournalRoleplay Journal Roleplays]] on Dreamwidth (and, more recently, on the [[https://glowfic.com/ Glowfic Constellation]]), connected through the involvement of [[AlternateSelf alternate versions]] [[UniversalAdaptorCast of the same characters]] (and, in some cases, the same worlds).

* Assorted glowfic with Swimmer963, with the characters Vanyel and Leareth from Fanfic/ASongForTwoVoices.
* Roleplay/ProjectLawful, known on the glowfic constellation as ''planecrash'', by [[Creator/EliezerYudkowsky Iarwain]] and Lintamande, in which the nation of Cheliax from {{TabletopGame/Pathfinder}} receives an extradimensional visitor and does its best to conquer the world with his assistance while also doing its best to avoid letting on to him that that's what they're doing.

* AlternateSelf: A core part of the premise.

* AlternateSelf: A core part of the premise.

* AmnesiacLover: [[InvertedTrope Inverted]] by [[spoiler:Shell]]. By the time she found Milliways, the only thing she could remember about her old life was that "[[MadnessMantra somebody loved me once]]".

* CameBackWrong: Pearl specifically wishes to [[AvertedTrope avert]] this when she resurrects [[spoiler:Shell Bell. It works--she comes back to life completely intact, exactly as she was the instant before she died--but it leaves a duplicate of her still stuck in Downside.]]

* ConvenientlyCoherentThoughts: [[JustifiedTrope Justified]] with Stella and Shell Bell's mind-reading powers; Stella went through a bunch of thought while designing hers, specifically for the sake of ensuring a coherent output, and Shell Bell copied Stella's version.

* DoorstopBaby: Katie, Astrid, and Nika.

* GenderBlenderName: Jokers often go by these kinds of names.

* GoodbyeCruelWorld: "I didn't want much."

* HappilyMarried: A bunch of Bells with their respective love interests.
* HomosexualReproduction: Glass and Kanim work together to make a spell to pull it off.
* HumanoidAbomination: The Administrator might not be this, but she certainly gives the vibe.

* InnBetweenTheWorlds: Milliways.

* KilledMidSentence: [[spoiler:Shell Bell]] when the nuke is dropped on her.
* KissOfTheVampire: Juliet is a fan.

* LivingLieDetector: Part of the standard Bell powerset in Effulgence.

* MentalWorld: The mindscapes used by Enchanters.

* TheMultiverse: One of the major plot points in Effulgence.

* PhotographicMemory: Tends to be one of the first enhancements Bells give themselves when they become mints.

* {{Polyamory}}: Extremely common, since so many templates have a preference for it.

* ARareSentence: "I don't think there are any observations we have made that alien pod people ''can't'' explain." Given that this is said in the ''{{Literatuee/Animorphs}}'' universe, they turn out to be 100% correct.

* ScienceFantasy: Pretty inevitable when you bring all those worlds into contact.

* ScrewYourself: Pretty much the default response if multiple Jokers end up in a room together.
** Sherlocks and Tonies fall into this too sometimes.
** Bells have done this too.
* SelfMadeOrphan: Jokers, sometimes.

* SocietyOfImmortals: Basically the goal of all Bells everywhere.

* TortureTechnician: The Torturers in Downside.

* TrulySingleParent: Pretty common among Tonies.

* AlternateSelf: A core part of the premise.

* BusFullOfInnocents: Among the many people that Flicker has to rescue [[spoiler: she doesn't manage to save them all]]

* DeadAlternateCounterpart: By the time Ice and Cypress go to Pantheon, Spring is dead of old age.

* DimensionalTraveler: Somewhat less common in Incandescence, but it's increasing as their PortalNetwork expands.
* DoorstopBaby: Katie, Astrid.

* HappilyAdopted: Adarins and Zevs too.
* HappilyMarried: A bunch of Bells with their respective love interests.

* IncompatibleOrientation: Happens with Kanims and Bells, for example the original Kanim with Glass.
* InnBetweenTheWorlds: Milliways.

* KilledToUpholdTheMasquerade: Revelation. Not that it actually stopped the masquerade from [[TheUnmasquedWorld breaking down anyway]].

* TheMultiverse: One of the major plot points in many of the longer glowfics.

* PortalCrossroadWorld: Pantheon seems to be shaping up to become this in Incandescence.

* ScienceFantasy: Pretty inevitable when you bring all those worlds into contact. In the case of Daevinity, it's actually pretty applicable even within a ''single'' world.

* TheSnarkKnight: '''Prime'''.

* SocietyOfImmortals: Basically the goal of all Bells everywhere.

* AlmightyIdiot: Every single Eru.

* BitchInSheepsClothing: Finderato aka Finrod and Artanis aka Galadriel.

* EvilUncle: Tyelcormo views Nolofinwe as one, arguable at how true it is.

* TheGoodKing: Finwes and Maitimos.

* {{Hypocrite}}: Elu Thingol is under the impression that he holds the high moral ground since he has not killed any Elves. But Dwarves were hunted for sport under his watch and actively discriminates against them. Also Galadriel.

* NukeEm: Attempted in Elentári and in Shadow to [[spoiler:kill Melkor]]. It doesn't work. In Space Arda Cam warns the Dwarves to not even try.

* RapeOfTheLock: Happens to Elves taken captive in Angband, particularly Maitimos. Since the scalp and hair is a major erogenous zone for the Eldar it is extremely violating to cut an Elf's hair. Midnight, the evil Maitimo, does this to his Findekano, nickname Forever.

* ScrewYourself: Cam and Loki, both being Bells and dating each other, fall into this.
** There is also a married pair of Maglors.

* MoralityChain: Jean pretty clearly has one or several [[AmbiguousDisorder Ambiguous Disorders]] that limit his ability to empathize or relate to (most) other people. His sister has to set rules for him to follow to keep him at socially acceptable levels of behavior. Predictably, bad things happen if she is removed from the picture in some way, ''especially'' if the setting itself exacerbates his screwed-up-ness.
* ScrewYourself: Jokers, Sherlocks, Tonies, and Saddes all do this by default.
** Bells have done this too a bunch of times.

* FantasticCasteSystem: One of the defining attributes of Amenta.

Another large notable continuity is [[https://www.glowfic.com/boards/18 Silmaril]], written by Alicorn and Lintamande, which contains [[Literature/TheSilmarillion lots]] and [[Literature/TheLordOfTheRings lots]] of Elves. Who are adorable.

A recent major "trend" is glowfic with Swimmer963, with the characters Vanyel and Leareth from Fanfic/ASongForTwoVoices.

* HumanMomNonhumanDad: [[InvertedTrope Inverted]] by the Bell template attractors; in any case where one of her parents is non-human, it's overwhelmingly likely to be Renée rather than Charlie. Played straight with TMir, presumably because Renées are laughably incompatible with Vulcan society.

* TheGodsMustBeIdiots: The Valar have a really alien worldview that is incompatible with incarnates. Therefore people get deeply frustrated and disappointed with them. Feanors tend to regard the Valar as stupid and evil as a result. Many agree with them.
