1So here you are, [[JustForFun/TVTropesWillRuinYourLife ruining your life on TV Tropes]], spending your day clicking on the random buttons and occasionally visiting the [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/tlp_activity.php Trope Launch Pad]] ([[MythologyGag you know, that thing where]] people try to find new trope-worthy content). Maybe have you even launched some tropes yourself, which might eventually become JustForFun/TropesOfLegend, who knows? But now, unexpectedly, [[IWantSong you want more]]. Reading all day about all these storytelling tidbits has somehow inspired the writer sleeping inside your soul. Here we go: you'll create a synopsis, something totally new and original, [[SugarWiki/TVTropesWillEnhanceYourLife revolutionary]] even! But where to start, that is the question?...
2
3Well, let's analyze the issue here. As an averted troper, you are aware of all the old tricks and other {{Dead Horse Trope}}s that you need to avoid to make your own works at least tolerable. But [[WritersBlock finding inspiration could be difficult]], especially for a beginner like yourself. You could always click on the [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pitchgenerator.php Pitch Generator]] or the [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/storygen.php Story Generator]], after all [[EurekaMoment inspiration]] could come from the weirdest place, but that would feel rather... impersonal, would it?
4
5But wait, what if I told you that there are perfect tropes, tropes that are rather fresh and unused, and really reflect your personality and writing style? Where are they, you ask? Well it's simple, [[ItWasWithYouAllAlong the answer was with you all along]]: the tropes that you kickstarted on the Launch Pad! Think about it: ''you'' realized that it was missing on the site, ''you'' struggled to find examples, ''you'' debated hotly in the comment section to prove that it was trope-worthy. Nobody on this website is more aware of this trope, its use and its limits, than '''''you'''''!

7Here we go now, you can write your masterpiece below. It will be [[{{Narm}} corny]], it will be [[BetterThanABareBulb savvy]], it will probably be [[DarthWiki/SoBadItsHorrible rather awful and half-arsed with your name forever attached to it]], but that doesn't mean that you can't be ''creative'' and more importantly have ''fun'' with it!
8
9It is still strongly suggested to see the [[SoYouWantTo/SeeTheIndex "So You Want To" index]] beforehand for general advices on writing. Also, if you want to include your story, you are authorized to directly edit the draft but '''''don't'' touch''' the other tropers' entries (that would be rude).

14* '''Synopsis:''' [[RepulsiveRingmaster Ringmaster von Wicked]], whose costume is adorned with [[WickedHeartSymbol hearts]] for some reason, is the not-so-proud owner of a circus that consists only of a sentient flower, two walruses, a puppeteer, and a clown. von Wicked plots to take over the world so that he can force everyone to perform for him. However, the clown, Charlie, and one of the walruses, [[WarmHeartedWalrus Walt]], want no part of his evil plan and run away from the circus. von Wicked, not easily deterred, builds a robot copy of Charlie. The robot, along with the other walrus, [[WilyWalrus Warren]], the flower, [[FoulFlower Fiona]], and the puppeteer, [[EvilPuppeteer Polonius]], stay to help von Wicked with his plans. They learn that there is a huge graveyard full of skeletons that can be brought back to life by [[XylophonesForWalkingBones playing xylophone music]]. When von Wicked hears this, he strokes his [[ThinChinOfSin long, pointy chin]] as the screen [[FadeAroundTheEyes fades to black around his eyes]]. Meanwhile, Charlie and Walt come across the beastly King Killer, a brutish monster emperor known for his [[RegalRuff impressive ruff collar]]. Fortunately, King Killer hates von Wicked so much that [[MagicalClown he gives Charlie magical powers]] and encourages him and Walt to return to the circus and foil von Wicked's plans. In the sequel, Charlie and Walt [[CasinoEpisode go to the Rufftown Casino]] to thwart its evil owner, an anthropomorphic [[PsychoPoodle poodle]] named Ms. Flufferton, who sings [[CreepyJazzMusic a jazz song]] about her goal to find a legendary cave full of giant clams and steal their [[PerplexingPearlProduction pearls]] - but once she learns that Charlie and Walt are on her tail, she also schemes to [[ClamTrap feed them to the clams]]. In the third installment, Charlie and Walt go up north to prevent a war between [[SweetSeal harp seals]] and [[MonstrousSeal leopard seals]] that started when a harp seal went to a leopard seal's ice-cream shop and [[WrongRestaurant tried to order pizza]], pissing the leopard seal off.

And so on. And during the course of the adventure, the man discovers secrets that may reveal an incoming doom for the whole land, or even the world.

One of her first assignment is to investigate on a shady club called the "[[EngineeredHashtag #DropTehBass]]" where several different ongoing cases seem to lead. She goes to interrogate the owner of the club who goes by the nickname of "[[FreakyElectronicMusic DJ [=DotMatrix=]]]", but he refuses to talk to her, openly mocking her. Before she could snark back at him, the [[HashtagForLaughs #DropTehBass]] is under attack: a mysterious hooded figure enters the club and begins to "pixellate" and "absorb" the clubbers, including [=DotMatrix=]'s siblings who were working at the bar, only leaving behind him huge spots of [[GreenBoyColor pixellated green]] and a message: "give me back what is mine". Now, [[FemaleFlatfootAndSnarkyGuy it is up to Monica and DJ DM]] to stop this elusive person, find out how he got his strange powers, and save the kidnapped clubbers.

During their adventure, they meet two bird people: Kiwi [[BeakAttack Silverbeak]], a humanoid badass but rather [[CuteOwl cute barn-owl]], and Postal Pascal, a pelican with a [[PelicanPackagePouch hammerspace pouch]], respectively masters of the "Code" and "Plot" elements.
