TLP workstation thread

Ok, I've launched a title crowner for the (No Heal Like) Overheal draft.

Wait, a sec...

The laconic is:

Meaning this only is tangentially related to healing... If it were only about healing leading to extra Hit Points if it overflowed, I'd see it, but this...

Gonna add Temporary Stat Cap Extension as an option...

The vast majority of the examples are for health, but there's a few (like Sonic Generations in the platformer folder) that are for other stats.

- Yes, but how many Hit Points examples are also a form of healing?

Most seem to just be saying Hit Points Cap Increases, without healing occurring?

I'm not saying that's a bad name (in fact, I voted it up), I'm just trying to explain why all of the name suggestions revolve around health. The only one I added to the crowner that wasn't suggested by someone else is Health Bar Extension, so maybe I should add a non-health counterpart to that.

But anyway, I feel like this discussion should be happening in the comments on the draft, not here.

Anyone wanna help out with my draft? I've been waiting on feedback for a while now, and I've only got a single reply that isn't me.

Any problems with lauching Single Substance Manipulation? Some people are saying "This is sorta already covered", see the last few comments...

But I want to launch this soon, because I'm not the sponsor so it's just a little harder for me to track...

Harder how? You should be able to follow it from the TLP main page with the thumbs-up button, the same as any of your own drafts. (In case you're unaware, that's a follow button and not an upvote button.)

Can't just jump into History and look for it. But yeah, as long as I remember that's what the thumbs up is for, I should be good.

Hey! I have a TLP draft, Talking To Body Parts which has many examples but I feel like the title could be better and the description is lacking. How can I flesh out the description more? Any title suggestions?

I've got 3 tropes that I'm not sure how to name...

• Ghostwriter: In-Universe ghostwriter character.
• Trivia/Ghostwriter: Real Life ghostwriter, maybe rename into Ghostwritten Work...
• Nominal Coauthor: In combination with the Trivia of being a Ghostwriter, this is the person whose name actually appears on the book.

Not sure about the names for the first two... Saying "Real Life Ghostwriter" for the Trivia sounds clunky...

Ghostwritten Work... Is a work trivia. I guess it could work due to not many works having such works without the ghostwriter being mentioned?

Ghostwritten Work for trivia and Ghostwriters for Useful Notes might make them more distinct? Also making the trope The Ghostwriter fits in line with a lot of job tropes being "The (occupation)".

- Well, Ghostwriters sounds an index of Creators that are ghostwriters.

Oh, that's true. Ghostwriting for Useful Notes?

- Why should ghostwriting have Useful Notes?

I don't know why but somehow I misinterpreted your post to include wanting to draft a useful notes page about ghostwriting. Whoops.

I’m wondering if my description for Sell What You Love is good. Does anyone have any criticism or suggestions?

I need a better name for Game Over Angel.

Pre Resurrection Angel...

Expand to Spirits Are Angels?

There's already some trope about spirits floating off at death.

You just posted the draft; let people give title ideas in the draft comments.

What is it?

^ Forget the name. Try looking in Our Ghosts Are Different.

I have proposed the new trope Cheeking after being astonished to find there doesn't seem to be one for that yet.

So a few months ago, Secret Message Wink (proposed in 2019) was in full swing and I submitted a lot of examples. I really thought it should be launched but it kept falling down the list and eventually became kinda forgotten. I don’t know if it’s still being worked on but should I just bump it in hopes of getting more examples? I don’t wanna butt in but I also wanna see it get launched.

The draft hasn't been touched since July, which means that it's technically Up for Grabs, but you might want to contact Twiddler to see if they're still interested in it.
