Spun off the main odd confessions thread; this thread is for odd confessions related to TV Tropes itself.
Excessive complaining isn't allowed anywhere on the site. Keep it out of this thread.
I felt guilty about having to remove some of the real life examples on Mandela Effect. I would not have removed them if they didn't violate site policy. I enjoyed reading those examples, and I'm sure the people who wrote them are not happy about them being removed.

I've gotten a notifier for a sinkhole in an example I moved during TRS work; I feel your pain.
Working on: Author Appeal | Sandbox | Troper WallI kind of want to start a page for the thing I just posted on Archive of Our Own just so I can have this entry.
- Dolled-Up Installment: Inverted Trope the writer of this work originally envisioned this as a Pokémon fan game but had no way of making a game and eventually turned most of the characters into Expies and added more fantasy.
IDK I think it's at least a bit neat that I inverted that particular trope...

I thought "barkeep" wasn't a real word (at most, I thought it was a type of wordplay involving dogs because of "bark") which was way I got so confused when reading Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep" and His Name Really Is "Barkeep".
It's short for "barkeeper."
Guys how cool would it be if Super Megaforce had a green ranger...Crosswicking sometimes has the energy of "If you're interested in X topic, please check out this work."
TroperWall / WikiMagic CleanupI lowkey think we should cut Sincerity Mode. I realized it makes users sound less sincere, like they have to rely on a pothole instead of speaking from the heart.
A lot of people have been saying that kind of thing lately.
Your melody still remains in this room and it ringsI don't really care how "obscure" my posts on that thread are, to be honest.
When you're alone I'm reaching out to let you know that you're far from strangers, like the saviorEven if the media itself is well-known, there are always some lines that not everyone knows or remembers.

Like how in my case someone guessed Akira's speech to Oersted post-True Final Boss from Live A Live within a few posts but so far everyone has failed to recognise Yun's.

I think the latter is moreso "wanting Draco to date Hermione". There's probably Harry/Draco fics with cannibalism out there though (ship fics can get really weird sometimes).

SING TO ME, LEND ME THE SONG OF BLASPHEMY
Don't I know it. Tartarus I wrote some.
So Harry/Harmie/Drago is the OT3 of the fandom? And Ron gets his sister?
Personally I (never got into these books) like both Harry and Harmine with Luna.

I was going to work on making a work page or two this evening, but then I cleared some laconic recaps instead because it seems (to me) to be a quicker way of being productive.
When you're alone I'm reaching out to let you know that you're far from strangers, like the saviorI like to mash the random button sometimes just to see if I encounter a bad page image.
Macron's notesHaving a non-serious idea of splitting Grandfather Clause into a Trivia trope and Wiki Tumor Forum Speak.
TroperWall / WikiMagic CleanupIt took me until today to realize that Poor Communication Kills is a pun based on "poor communication skills".
The legend has returned.

I think I understand why Crosswicking takes me much longer than should be. 1. The examples may not be final and it'd be a bother to correct it twice. 2. Checking alphabetization 50 times is quite stressful when examples don't start with the letter. 3. An increased chance of getting a notifier for something you've missed for otherwise an obscure work.
