7	A fantasy/parody WebOriginal SerialNovel on fictionpress.com written by a long-time Website/TVTropes lurker. While it only has twenty-nine chapters so far, it is [[Administrivia/ThereIsNoSuchThingAsNotability noteworthy]] for the extensive use of tropes taken directly from [[Website/TVTropes this wiki]]. Makes numerous {{Shout Out}}s to Franchise/HarryPotter, ''Literature/TheTwilightSaga'', and ''Franchise/FinalFantasy'', and many more franchises.

9	The story revolves around a perfectly normal boy named Tagino Storp. One day, an [[OurAngelsAreDifferent angel]] named Arthur Avatar from another dimension accidentally opens a portal in his school. Tagino is then recruited by Arthur in the mission to destroy anything that might anger the [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything Reader]] god, including {{Deus Ex Machina}}s, {{Monsters of the Week}}, and the worst of them all, {{Mary Sue}}s.

11	Contains high concentrations of {{Invoked Trope}}s, {{Parodied Trope}}s and {{Lampshade Hanging}}. There is also a narrator, who is fully aware of being in a webpage and talks directly to the reader.

16	----
17	!!This Web Original contains examples of:
18	* ActionGirl: Levt, Rite, Teres and Fran
19	* AppliedPhlebotinum: ''Literal'' applied Phlebotinum. Tagino eats a Phlebotinum-filled ''gummy bear'' given to him by Arthur, which gives him the {{Flying Brick}} set of powers, minus flight. According to Ed, Phlebotinum can absorb and release "Phlebotinous energy", which allows magic and other superhuman feats to be performed.
20	* ArsonMurderAndJaywalking: Professor Dunderbore still hangs onto a grudge against Lord Baldydork even after sixty years...for stealing his lollipop when they were children.
21	* AuthorAvatar: [[spoiler:Arthur]]
22	* {{BFG}}: Pallaher's Phlebotinum cannon.
23	* {{BFS}}: Arthur's and Teres's swords, plus the one Baldydork gives Tagino in chapter 14.
24	* BadassArmy: Ironically called the [[spoiler: {{Redshirts}}]].
25	* BadassLongcoat: Arthur.
26	* BadassTeacher: [[InvertedTrope Inverted]]. The Pigpimples staff actually fight ''against'' their students, who are under the [[MarySue Sue]]'s mind control.
27	* BeamOWar
28	* BrainwashedAndCrazy: The Pigpimples students, and Tagino in chapter 14.
29	* BreathWeapon: Done hilariously by Edvard using his BishieSparkle against a horde of MarySue, complete with Shoop Da Whoop.
30	* BoundAndGagged: Done in a particularly {{fanservice}}y way to none other than [[MsFanservice Fran]].
31	* TheChosenOne: Mentioned by the characters. Turns out to be an Expy of Franchise/HarryPotter and Ron Weasley mashed into one person.
32	* CurbStompBattle: Loads.
33	* DarkActionGirl: Enoby and Willow.
34	* DeusExMachina: PlayedForLaughs.
35	* EvilOverlordList: Mentioned and followed by [[BigBad Lord Baldydork]], who's GenreSavvy.
36	* EvilTowerOfOminousness: Edvard's fortress looks like this, but he's (supposedly) a good guy.
37	* {{Expy}}: [[Literature/TheTwilightSaga Edvard Sparkleface]], [[Literature/HarryPotter Arry Fotter and Lord Baldydork]]. [[Fanfic/MyImmortal Enoby]], too. Now we have Light, who's specifically described as close to being one of a [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII "silver-haired, flowergirl-stabbing, Eastern RPG villain"]]. Guess who.
38	* FirstLastKiss: [[spoiler:Ed when Arthur dies--or what seems like it. One sentence after he closes his eyes we hear him shouting "Yes!" and revealing "getting killed" was all a part of a plan to get Ed to kiss him for the first time in five thousand years.]]
39	* FunWithAcronyms: [[LampshadeHanging P.L.O.T.]] stands for [[AppliedPhlebotinum Phlebotinous]] Linearly Oriented Timeline.
40	* AGodIsYou: [[spoiler:The Reader, possibly.]]
41	* {{Golem}}: Comes in metal, wood, rock and Jell-o flavors. One of them is particularly [[DeadpanSnarker snarky]].
42	* GoodWingsEvilWings: The angels. So far they are all good.
43	* {{Hammerspace}}: Played straight with P.L.O.T. hole lockers.
44	* HaveYouSeenMyGod: The Writer
45	* HealingHands: Arthur and probably Tagino.
46	%%* HyperspaceMallet: Done to Tagino by Brooks, after the former calls the latter old.
47	* IncrediblyLamePun: Arthur Avatar.
48	* InstantExpert: Tagino literally becomes one with Phlebotinum magic within a ''millisecond'', though it's somewhat [[JustifiedTrope justified]] because he actually took training in a room at the center of the universe where time goes extremely slowly.
49	* KiManipulation
50	* LadyOfWar: Ed, supposedly.
51	* LampshadeHanging: Oh, where to start...
52	* LivingForeverIsAwesome: Apparently that's what Arthur thinks. Ed and Tha, on the other hand...
53	* LukeIAmYourFather: Done by Lord Baldydork to Tagino. [[spoiler:Turns out to be a distraction for Willow to brainwash him.]]
54	* MarySue: [[InvokedTrope Deliberately invoked]][=/=][[ParodiedTrope Parodied]][=/=]PlayedForLaughs. Sues are highly dangerous because they can anger the Reader very quickly, according to Arthur.
55	-->''"Sues: Failed creations of the Writer (aka the Creator), Sues are seemingly perfect in every aspect. Angers the Reader very quickly and effectively. Because of their highly dangerous nature, destroy on sight. Distinguishable by strange hairstyles and/or hair color. "''
56	-->--[[LampshadeHanging Arthur Avatar's Big List of Things That Might Piss Off the Reader]]
57	** [[Fanfic/MyImmortal Ebony]] also makes an appearance as the ultimate Sue.
58	* MediumAwareness: The narrator.
59	* {{Mooks}}: Strangely un-mookish ones.
60	* MsFanservice: Fran. Just look at her name.
61	* OurAngelsAreDifferent: The angels, duh.
62	* OurVampiresAreDifferent
63	* PlotArmor: [[InvokedTrope Deliberately invoked]]/Played straight. Explained as the P.L.O.T. bending time and space around a person in order to protect them. Tagino has a high reading, apparently.
64	* PlotHole: Deliberately invoked/parodied. P.L.O.T. holes, to be exact. Also doubles as the {{Portal Network}}.
65	* PortalCut: Happens to Tagino once in the fourth chapter. He also kills Hikari with this by accident.
66	* PortalNetwork: The P.L.O.T. holes count.
67	* RuleOfCool: Some of the Elite Redshirts' weapons, including a pole-chainsaw with a huge bayonet an the other end.
68	* RuleOfSexy: A female Redshirt is described as "skimpily dressed [[LampshadeHanging against all common sense and sensibility]]" during the fireworks display at Yitic-Latipac.
69	* SamusIsAGirl: Subverted. When Baldydork's helmet came off, this trope was explicitly mentioned.
70	* SeenItAll: Ed sort of qualifies.
71	* ShoutOut: [[Franchise/HarryPotter Pigpimples Academy of Sorceresscraft and Sorcery]], run by [[Literature/HarryPotter Professor Dunderbore]]. Sound familiar to you? Also, the "ultimate Mary Sue" [[Fanfic/MyImmortal calls herself "ENOBY"]].
72	** [[Literature/TheTwilightSaga Edvard Sparkleface]]. His face is so shiny that he needs a paper bag to hide it.
73	** The "Blatant Crossover" chapters are made of these, involving the characters crossing over into worlds wearing with [[Franchise/StarWars iconic]] [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII characters]] making {{Lawyer Friendly Cameo}}s.
74	* SignificantAnagram: [[TheHero Tagino Storp]] and [[MsFanservice Fran Sevice]], among others.
75	* SlidingScaleOfFourthWallHardness: ''Varies''. Depends on the narrator's mood, it can go from Visible Fourth Wall to Playing with the Fourth Wall.
76	* SpeechImpediment: Arthur, who has a lisp. [[spoiler: Turns out to be a part of his ObfuscatingStupidity.]]
77	* SummonMagic: PlayedForLaughs with Arthur, who (at first unsuccessfully) summons a horde of harmless giant coakroaches.
78	* ThatCameOutWrong
79	-->''"“Can’t.” “Harder!”“Still can’t!”“Harder!” awkward silence followed. "''
80	-->--Arthur and Tagino, as Arthur teaches Tagino how to control Phlebotinum with his mind.
81	-->''"“I do not acshept virgin shacrificesh! … Stop what you’re doing! I meant I don’t acshept human shacrificesh, virgin or not!” "''
82	-->--Arthur, to his worshippers offering him a virgin sacrfice.
83	* TinTyrant: Lord Baldydork
