10	A webcomic in-the-making by [[AttentionWhore some chick]] on Website/{{deviantART}}.
11
12	She hasn't started it yet, mostly because she is busy [[RidiculousProcrastinator doing]] [[AttentionDeficitOohShiny other]] [[OriginalCharacterTournament things]].
13
14	Really the only reason this page exists right now is that she finds it hilarious how many tropes apply to her characters. Also, she wants to have it on hand if/when her comic gets popular.
15
16	She will do her best to avoid spoiler-riffic things.
17
18	At this point in time, this page is merely serving as a place-holder for tropes that apply to her characters as they stand now. When the comic is started though, it will be wiped clean and only list tropes that apply to the story thus far. Consider it a "glance into the future", if you will. Although the only people who are looking at this page are the artist's friends who already know all of these things anyway, it is of little impact.

20	!Story
21	Not much is here, understandably, considering the darn thing hasn't even begun yet.

28	* OneDegreeOfSeparation: The artist is fascinated by [[Website/{{Wikipedia}} the]] [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Six_degrees_of_separation six degrees of separation]], and you could trace many of her characters back to one another through their shared acquaintances.
29	* SesquipedalianLoquaciousness: The artist is likewise fascinated by large words and the general use of the English language, to the point where she reads through thesaurus.com like a second tvtropes. Unsurprisingly, really, she is prone to using absurdly large strings of words as titles for chapters and the like. In her writing, she tries to keep the wording more simple so people don't have to go running for a dictionary every other sentence, but the occasional PurpleProse-esque word or phrase might slip in.
30	* AMinorKidroduction: the story starts off with a child version of Darius. Contrary to what this trope implies though, it lasts longer than just an introduction.
31	* [[TheTropeWithoutATitle The Vast Amount Of Things That Don't Have A Title]]: Still being in the developmental stage, many places and things seem to be lacking in proper names. (i.e., The Fields, The Troupe, The Forest that the Aurora Dell [see below] is placed in, etc)

41	** BigBrotherInstinct: Cory has it.
42
