Trope Report Revival

Go To

So over 10 years ago or so, we used to have a newsletter called Trope Report, which covers all of the changes that happened on the wiki weekly. I have been nostalgic for it recently so I thought of it and it seemed to be a fun way to inform tropers about the changes going on around the wiki.

The sandbox for the project can be found at Sandbox.Trope Report Dummy Edition and the sandbox for ideas/plans can be found on Sandbox.Trope Report Ideas. After a new issue is published, revert the Dummy Edition back to a template using the text on Sandbox.Trope Report Template.

[up] ~FernandoLemon Sorry, been busy.

Not only that, I don't know what I could add. If you have any suggestions for me, then I'll do it

I was thinking about writing for Altering a work in response to the Content Policy, and I made a draft of the proposed entry, which can be read here. Thoughts?

Working on Sandbox.The Amazing Race TV Tropes Edition.

I don't know if it's a thread that needs more attention since I think everything that needed to be discussed was already brought up on that thread and I don't think a policy will come from it.

Okay, Image of the Month time. I'll probably do Littlest Cancer Patient since it made everyone laugh. Allegorical Character isn't a bad option either, since it was a tough one to illustrate.

[up] Tough call. Leaning towards Allegorical Character, but I won't object to Littlest Cancer Patient either, due to how tough finding a decent pic for it was.

Littlest Cancer Patient, best Troper made illustration ever out of all of them. Especially in the quality.

Checking in on this account after leaving the site, MAN that is a cringy forum post history. Daaamn. Never again.

I'm sending Noa a message later just so they can tell me more about its creation process.

Image of the Month is up, did in in an interview style.

Since I also finished my last entry, the only thing left bar any last-minute additions is the description.

Permission to add a bit to the description about the new mascot?

I think I'll just stick with my one contribution this month. I haven't been very motivated lately to actually do much on TVT project-wise — combination of a bunch of IRL stress and increasing general TVT burnout. I'm not leaving Trope Report, I'll still try to contribute, just maybe not as much as I used to.

Perhaps the Animation Evolution cleanup thread and/or the Fandom Life Cycle cleanup thread might work?

Welp, thanks to Stupid Statement Dance Mix's TRS effort, I now have an idea for next issue's trope entry for Pages Needing Help.

Voice Clip Song had its already short description halved. Plus, some example sorting will help it.

I'll write a draft in the Ideas sandbox.

Edit: Done, ready for the June edition.

Since we're about to hit May, time for some pings.

~Cutegirl920fire, I noticed your bio is still not updated. Since you did not add anything to this edition, do you wish to remain listed for May? We can add you back once we get the sandbox refreshed if you want. If you do wish to remain listed, be sure to update your bio. Thanks!

[down] That works.


~Twiddler: Just pinging you for when you're ready to proofread May's edition.
