Not a Fragile Flower

A few years back, I revamped all the Laconic pages for almost all versions of Playing with a Trope, to get some consistent logic between them, by self-demo'ing the concept within those secondary unabridged version links we tend to use. I'm particularly proud of what I came up with for Parodied Trope; a long (by Laconic standards) diatribe to playfully troll the reader about their misfortune at having to read said diatribe.

Said diatribe eventually evolved into an All Blue Entry, shown here:

I feel like it's time to make improvements. More words, more spaced out potholes, more playful jabs at the reader. Could use some help with that if anyone is interested.

This isn't a high priority to be sure. Largely a waste of time. But could be a fun little distraction in between all the important work going on.

Overall Goals

  • Double the length of the paragraph
  • Triple the number of potholes
  • Maintain All-Blue Entry status
  • Maintain the present SINGLE USE of the word "here" (since that's the pothole back to Parodied Trope as per the convention of Laconic page "return to Unabridged Version HERE" bits)

Links worth using as potholes within the paragraph, somehow...
