Go To

1Goes by "Dove" when in online fandom spaces. Is [[ThirdPersonPerson pretending]] someone else typed this up for the sake of maintaining the typical tone of a TVTropes page. Spends [[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/el.php?findfor=calmestofdoves too much time]] on [=TVTropes=] while at work.

3!!Dove as a troper:
4[[folder:Responsible For:]]
5* These tropes, along with their laconics, page quotes, page images, and image captions, where applicable:
6** BigStormEpisode: After watching the episode "Proteus" from ''Series/PersonOfInterest'' about a week after watching the ''Series/HawaiiFive0'' episode "Kai e'e," inspiration struck.%%May 30 2015
7** NotSoRemote: The original sponsor abandoned it. Dove renamed it, fleshed it out, and saw it through to launch.
8** RearWindowHomage: Saw one in both ''Series/DueSouth'' and ''Series/PersonOfInterest'' within about two weeks of each other and decided there should be a page for that.%%June 9 2015
9** StubbornHair: Dove herself let the page fall by the wayside despite babysitting it through to five hats because she took a TVTropes hiatus for several months. She got over her angst about any similarities with HairReboot in the interim and launched the page upon her return.%%October 25 2015
10** {{Transflormation}}: Tropers/{{ForminaSage}} came to the LostAndFound looking for plant transformations. Whipped up a {{YKTTW}} and it got five hats in less than 24 hours.%%June 15 2015
11* These page images and their captions and/or their page quotes:
12** AltarDiplomacy: Had to cut together some screencaps to make a three-part collage because Tropers/{{Lythande}} really wanted something showing the flags.
13** [[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/discussion.php?id=ejnawunfbqrjzuw77co8ks4l Flexsplosion]]: There's a flexplosion-based ''duel'' in ''StudioGhibli/CastleInTheSky.'' The screenshot was perfect.
14** HassleFreeHotwire: The existing quote and image were both about a ''difficult'' hotwire rather than a ''hassle-free'' hotwire, and most fictional examples of hotwiring only get screentime when they're difficult or impossible; eventually I figured out that hotwiring is really easy in [[VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoIV GTA IV]] and went from there.
15** ItsPersonalWithTheDragon: Since Vader is the ultimate [[TheDragon Dragon]], it seemed only fitting to use him for this page as well. The screenshot started out pretty dark, though -- his all-black silhouette may be difficult to see ''now'', but before being run through Photoshop, the whole image was like that.
16** YouShallNotPass: The quote-picking threat vetoed the previous page quote, which was just Gandalf's [[TropeNamer trope-naming]] lines from the movie, and requested something more indicative. A perfect poem was just waiting to be mined from the bottom of the [[YouShallNotPass/{{Literature}} lit]] section.

19[[folder:Known Troping Hopes]]
20This section exists mostly because watchlisting {{YKTTW}}s is impossible.
21* Has assumed responsibility the following {{YKTTW}}s with an eye to launching them:
22** [[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/discussion.php?id=uqcpyc71e0netd5lk1j29hih About-Face Fortress]] (born of query from Tropers/{{Lyner}} that quickly turned into an enthusiastic debate between Dove and Tropers/{{SolipSchism}}.)
23** [[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/discussion.php?id=lb4td3d6fshllo57hj8txdw1 Behavioral Conditioning]] (original sponsor posted this several years ago, someone bumped it, and Dove realized it needed a complete overhaul)
24** [[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/discussion.php?id=tg6a8hc0eyaudufb77n60v27 "Don't Call Me That" Backfire]] (sponsor hasn't been seen since original draft; Dove revamped the description, reformatted everything, and found a host of related tropes)
25** [[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/discussion.php?id=vh4z2b65cd0yefssmyu5yv95 Princess Lessons]] (the original sponsor may come back, as it's only been a few days, but Dove renamed the trope, revamped the description, and added all of the current examples while they were gone.)
26* Plans are in motion to adopt or otherwise rescue these:
27** [[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/discussion.php?id=ejnawunfbqrjzuw77co8ks4l Flexsplosion]] (I provided the trope image, then forgot about it. Noticed the image on my desktop two months later and wondered what had happened to it.)
28** [[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/discussion.php?id=1rilw2i11pi77w3hd90d4ho9 List Padding For Emphasis]] (original sponsor posted years ago and it recently got bumped; somebody needs to clean it up and add the examples.)
29* Maaaay attempt to salvage these fixer-uppers at some point:
30** [[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/discussion.php?id=qjj31jtdbfnm64xn1nd9mpwc Absurdly Specific Book Title]] (Tropers/{{eroock}} noticed there were three similar {{YKTTW}}s like this that could be combined.)
31** [[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/discussion.php?id=b691liziknode1zus9fwbabo Fanon Immigrant]] (This got no love, but this is SO COMMON in fanfic that should the opportunity arise to rescue the YKTTW, there would be ample material in Dove's Ao3 bookmarks collection)
32** [[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/discussion.php?id=piifm95w8bij6uq9h66aip6l Camp Wackyname]] (original sponsor never bothered to add in examples and hasn't been seen in several months.)
33** [[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/discussion.php?id=uzwxxpac3neefla4ih6pylo1 Only Packed for Plan B]] (Dove proposed it, but it's probably TooRareToTrope; it got no love.)
34* Would like to personally illustrate something on the ListOfPagesArtistsCanIllustrate.

37[[folder:Known Troping Tropes]]
38* AddedAlliterativeAppeal: Noticeable in her attempts at naming {{YKTTW}}s as well as her word choice in examples themselves.
39* EntryPimp: For her various adopted {{YKTTW}}s as well as live trope pages.
40* GoodOldWays: Fell in love with [=TVTropes=] at a young age, but was largely out of the picture for a great many reforms, and consequently gets confused on the regular by the newer "clearer" names of tropes like TruffautWasRight, BugsMeanyIsGonnaWalk, and ThirtyXanatosPileup.
41** PermanentRedLinkClub: Can't ''believe'' we no longer have DidNotDoTheResearch.
42*** At least we still have DidNotDoTheBloodyResearch.
43** [[ArtisticLicenseBiology You Fail Biology Forever]] is WAY cooler than ArtisticLicenseBiology.
44* GrammarNazi: Many edits will be things like removing a single comma or inserting a single apostrophe.
45* IncrediblyLamePun: Love 'em.
46* TheNicknamer: So far there's [[Tropers/{{SolipSchism}} Skizz]] and [[Tropers/{{dalek955}} Dal]]. More to follow.
47* SerialTweaker: Many ''more'' edits will be things like changing an adequate adjective to a slightly more [[strike:appropriate]] ''evocative'' adjective.
48* SesquipedalianLoquaciousness: Not as big of an issue as the grammar thing or the tweaking thing, but definitely crops up.
49* StealthPun: Love 'em even more.
50* {{TABLE}}:
51** '''CUPS''': the '''C'''ool '''U'''nearthed '''P'''ictures '''S'''ociety: ''Trope titles are less important than the images.''
52** '''FORKS''': the '''F'''riends '''O'''f '''R'''eally '''K'''ool '''S'''obriquet: ''Trope names should be as witty as possible, whether or not they make any obvious sense.''

55[[folder:Known Troping Preferences]]
56* Gets a kick out of making sure pages are [[Administrivia/HowToAlphabetizeThings alphabetized properly]].
57** Consequently likes to format examples by offsetting the work name with a colon rather than burying the lede in the text of the example itself.
58* Prefers [[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/query.php?type=att Ask the Tropers]] to the forums.
59* Aspires to be a {{YKTTW}} [[JustForFun/TroperTypes Midwife]].
60** Enjoys cleaning up other people's {{YKTTW}}s and taking charge by adding examples from the discussion straight into the draft itself.
61** Inordinately proud of finding appropriate [[Administrivia/ImagesInWikiPages trope illustrations]].
62[[/folder]]
63
64[[folder:Known Fan Tendencies]]
65* [[ArchiveBinge Archive Binger]]: Often more than once with the same archive, actually. Especially Webcomic/GunnerkriggCourt, Webcomic/{{Goblins}}, and Webcomic/TheOrderOfTheStick.
66* Reads a seriously worrying amount of SlashFic.
67** MostFanficWritersAreGirls
68* Has consumed a varied and diverse bevy of media, yet can usually be seen [[EntryPimp pimping]] these in particular:
69** Series/AvatarTheLastAirbender
70** Series/DueSouth
71** Literature/EnchantedForestChronicles
72** Webcomic/GirlGenius
73** Series/HawaiiFive0

79!!Dove in general:
80* ArtistDisillusionment: Professional graphic designer with dreams of becoming a SequentialArtist.
81** UsefulNotes/ArtNouveau: A perennial favorite.
82* AttentionDeficitOohShiny: One of the primarily-inattentive girls who slipped through the cracks undiagnosed until early adulthood.
83* AwesomenessByAnalysis: Hates being wrong and thus spends tons of time researching things.
84* ForgetsToEat: Sometimes because of the ADHD itself and sometimes because of the [[LostMyAppetite ADHD medication.]]
85* HollywoodAtheist: According to [[WhereDidWeGoWrong some]].
86* TheInsomniac: Wrote this example at 3 AM. It's a thing.
87* [[MrExposition Ms. Exposition]]: Gets even worse when it's past midnight.
88* RidiculousProcrastinator: Forever and ever, amen.
89* SuperSpeedReading: A somewhat unusual skill for an ADHD person, but very handy.
