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.

I spotted a couple of typos in the latest newsletter. Too late to report them?

I'd like to apologize for all this.

For Forumwatch, I was thinking of writing about Children's Letters To Santa.

[up] I put the song title in Crush 40's entry as "2 Nights to Remember" instead of the correct "2 Nights 2 Remember". And in the Image of the Month entry, I forgot to capitalize the name in the write-up ("The reason why this pic is our image of the month is because...").

Children's Letters To Santa works for Forumwatch. [tup]

Hana Awase for Pages Needing Help sounds good, too. [tup]


In the meantime, to reflect how the southern side of the world will be in summertime when Christmas comes, how does Mermaiding Swimsuit sound for New Tropes?

  • As the holidays arrive, most of us will be bundling up and staying cozy. Those south of the equator, however, are cooling off and may go for a swim at the beach or pool, as they await the arrival of summer. Those that are more adventurous will opt for a Mermaiding Swimsuit to evoke the appearance of a mermaid. This trope started making waves on November 3, so there's plenty of time to dive for some more.

Here's my writeup for Children's Letters To Santa. Thoughts?

  • Dear Santa.
    It's us. Listen, all we want for Christmas is a great forum game to suggest to some of our readers during our Christmas issue.
    Love, Taylor Von Trope and the Trope Report team.

    Dear Taylor Von Trope and the Trope Report team.
    All I have is Children's Letters To Santa, but it's genuinely a really fun game! In this thread, tropers roleplay as Santa, who is to satirically respond to the gift decision that the individual in the above post wants for Christmas, before roleplaying as the individual and asking Santa for any gift, so the next player's Santa can critique the individual's gift choice. Here you go, now scram! You are all wasting my time!
    Love, Santa.

Rough sketch time for foreign work:

Las Fierbinți is a Romanian series created by Mimi Brănescu & directed by Dragoș Buliga and Constantin Popescu, premiering on Pro TV on the 1st of March, 2012. The series is set in a rural place in Fierbinti and mostly focuses on the day to day lives of the citizens, especially the mayor Vasile and the bar owner Bobiță. So why not check it out if you are a fan of sitcoms?

How'd i do

[nja] pretty sure Romanian characters work and preview is just wonky

After a lot of Bokukko dewicking, I have a write up for Hana Awase.

  • Hana Awase is an Otome Game quadrilogy developed Enterbrain! & WoGa and published by Dramatic Create, with an English by both them and Manga Gamer released in October 2023. The story follows a high-school student names Mikoto with an interest in Hanafuda (A traditional Japanese playing cards) as she enrolls at Kasen National Academy, a school that enriches the talent of those using Hanaufda cards in a game called Kasen. The page was only newly created but suffers from both ZCEs and a lack of crosswicking, so it would be appreciated if the page is given a cleaning.

Normally I don't want to plug my own new work pages, but the second volume of Blade of the Moon Princess is coming in December. Should I make an entry for it? If so, should it be in New Works or Foreign Works?

Anyway, here's my writeup. Thoughts?

  • However, even those in the south of the equator can suffer from the scorching summer heat, and they too are Dreaming of a White Christmas. If a character desires to live in a climate either warmer or cooler than where they are right now, they may be a Thermal Dissident. This trope can also affect the character's behavior and the way they dress in their current climate. Launched on November 5, it would be cool if more examples were discovered and listed.
