I made the picture for Can-Crushing Cranium, so that is free to use.
I would say the same about the picture I made for Dramatic Shattering, but the text is from Rose Of Versailles Abridged, and considering that itself is an Abridged Series, that might make a bit of a mess.
Regardless, anyone who can make a trope picture, and allow the site to use it, should do so.
I'm on the internet. My arguments are invalid.
I just did both on Can-Crushing Cranium.
Also, I made a pixel art some time ago, that I am allowing this site to use for Pimped-Out Dress (and perhaps even Princesses Prefer Pink). If someone can even make a proper drawing of it, go ahead, as long as it's also for this site to use.

I'm on the internet. My arguments are invalid.I dunno if it can be used for anything other than what it already is, but it's perfectly fine to use the pic of our cat that I took to use as an exemplar for watermarking on About Images And Copyright for any other purpose the wiki desires.
I think it was Jethro Q Walrustitty who made the one on Lovecraft Lite.
I hereby authorize a photo of me in uniform for Good-Looking Privates.

"Did anybody invent this stuff on purpose?" - Phillip Marlowe on tequila, Finger Man by Raymond Chandler.Eddie, have you considered other ad services? Project Wonderful
isn't click-based, and with the site's large amount of traffic, they'd be high-value. The main problem I foresee is that they're not adsense, so it would be the same ad on every page.
Anyway, just a suggestion.

Writing a post-post apocalypse LitRPG on RR. Also fanfic stuff.During The Google Incident, Project Wonderful was suggested several times. Unfortunately, we'd tried it before and, to quote our Speedy Leader Edward: "We tried Project Wonderful for two months; in that time they produced roughly the same ad revenue as Google does in a couple of hours.

This is just a wild suggestion and I don't know how we would do it - but is there any way we could get some kind of academic backing and/or sponsorship? Even if we could, do we actually want that? I personally am pretty turned off by academia in general and their tendencies towards dismissing anything that isn't either whatever the current academic popular thing is* or a "classic," but maybe there's some professor or institution out there that could get on board with our informal tone and adherence to Theres No Such Thing As Notability.
"Did anybody invent this stuff on purpose?" - Phillip Marlowe on tequila, Finger Man by Raymond Chandler.We have a little bit of merch already...somewhere. The store is kinda buried.
Writing a post-post apocalypse LitRPG on RR. Also fanfic stuff.I emailed one of the stores that carry TVT merch (Zazzle or Mystical Fair, I forget which) with a Super Weight Scale T-shirt idea; it was a good while before I got a response, and they said they couldn't make it because not enough people were buying TVT stuff.
If'n someone could point me to/start a thread for merch ideas, I'd go there. Maybe try and draw a few pictures, too, although I'm actually an MS Paint person as far as that.
Ponders too much; thinks too little. Currently goes by Knowlessman.[*]Starts knitting a Tv Tropes themed lampshade cosy[*]
Seriously but, if we going to put our funding efforts into merchandise we should start researching our brand recognition and see what intrest there is before we get ahead of ourselves.
Also some smarter then me should may be see what little (if any) claim we have to intellectual property rights.
hashtagsarestupidI just thought of obvious merchandise.
Specifically, we can make mugs and glasses with drink-related tropes. For example, two different mugs could say Must Have Caffeine and Spot Of Tea. If the term isn't copywrited, a glass or stein could say Frothy Mugs of Water. I know I'd buy an extra-large Must Have Caffeine mug.
