History for Tropers/Randomfanboy

20-year old nerd from Australia.

Is totally obsessed with webcomics, pimping Australia and Australian shows, comedy, and debates.
Has fun building universes, and [[strike: wishes he had the energy to actually sit down and write]] has now got about twenty pages of a comic written as well a few decent short films (as well as a few [[SoBadItsHorrible extraordinarily terrible short films.]]
Wants to write and produce his own animated show one day. Often looks among here for ideas.

Things I've done:
* Cleaned up [[GdayMate G'day Mate]] so it actually had examples of Australian slang;
* Made the GoodNewsWeek page;
* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r2TJWIMEEH8 Made a short film]] called ''Keep Off The Grass''.
** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FHGtfJhhLAI Made another short film]] called [[LongTitle I Think We're In A Bit Of A Pickle, Old Buddy]]
* Created the series page for {{Series/Taken}}. It's a good show.
* [[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/reviews.php?target_group=Main&target_title=BillyMadison Deconstructed and analysed]] [[BillyMadison two]] AdamSandler [[HappyGilmore films]]. Yes, I know. I'm a nerd.
* [[http://www.fictionpress.com/u/748371/ Got a Fictionpress account.]]

Did I mention that I'm from Australia? Because I am. I totally, totally am.

Here's a list of my favourite stuff to come out of the Pitch Generator and the Story Generator:

* ''James Bond'' meets ''Fraggle Rock.''
* ''Scrubs: The Animated Series.''
* ''Irregular Webcomic: The Animated Series.''
* ''Greys Anatomy'' meets ''Count Duckula.''
* ''Artemis Fowl'' meets ''The Mighty Ducks.''
* ''Law and Order'' meets ''Death Note.''
** I'd pay to see that one.
* ''Transformers'' meets ''Columbo.''
* ''The Magic School Bus'' meets ''The Godfather.''
* A BrokenHero has been sent to hell at the start of the fiction, which happens to be a large hotel. BrokenHero has killed a man, and consequently has blood on his hands constantly.

Here's a list of my favourite tropes:

* YouSuck - These protagonists tend to be funniest. [[AuthorAvatar There may be other]] [[YouSuck reasons I like it as well.]]
* PaintingTheFourthWall - Well, I think it's clever.
* HeroicSociopath
* WhatDoYouMeanItsNotAwesome - Especially when it's done on purpose, and ''especially'' when it isn't. I have a high tolerance of {{Narm}}.
* GreyAndGreyMorality - I love being forced to think.
* {{Troperiffic}} - These tend to be fun.
* BreakTheCutie - I love seeing people broken. [[YouBastard I am a horrible person.]]
* BlackComedy - I'm big on all forms of irony. I also refuse to see the difference between Dramatic and Comedic irony - it's all comedic to me.
* CharacterDevelopment - I love watching people change and figuring out how they think. Like I said, I love to think.
* DeadpanSnarker - Being both one of these and surrounded by these, I love seeing more of them.
* HoYay - I love this a little too much.
* HurricaneOfPuns - I also love puns a little too much.
* InTheStyleOf - Screw people who can't take a joke - out-of-genre covers are awesome.
* FridgeBrilliance - Boosting my ego by making me feel clever for figuring something out always scores points with me. I also try to cause this in readers when I write and plan things out.
* LyricalDissonance
* WhatsASecretFour - Not so much in what I read, but when I write speculative fiction, I use this trope rather than exposition. I've written an entire (extremely short, granted) film based around the concept.
* YouBastard - Especially the kind that seems to be ''It's great that you liked my story, but I'll tell it how '''I''' want to tell it, not you.'' Or, more succinctly, ''Shut up, fanboys!''. See MetalGearSolid 2.
