About Us

Describe Tropers group here.
OK, but it will contain lots and lots of spoilers, in-jokes and potholes!
Tropers group is here to spread the power of TV Tropes to the realm of llamas and deviants. We connect our two worlds with just one rule - the Rule of Cool. We search for tropes in our art and we draw Trope-tan the TV Tropes mascot, we illustrate our favorite tropes and draw our Troper Tales or things that bug us.
Aside from that, we are just a cozy place for all tropers here on dA. Make yourself at home and feel free to speak Tropey! This part of intertubes will understand you.
Our gallery doesn't have over nine thousand deviations, but you can't find enough evidence that yes, TV Trope Will Ruin Your Life - but it will do it in a very inspirative sort of way!

For the newcomers:
* Have a look at our gallery system and rules
* Add yourself to the nicknames conversion chart

Beginning to a possible storyYarborough Private School went coed. Having been an exsclusively all boys school for fourteen years, and having been a middle school student for two of them, I bet you think that we all had a big bonfire party, got down on our knees and thanked God for showing us such kindness, right? Not quite.

You see, Yarborough wasn't one of thos fancy "jocks rule, our parents are rich and yours aren't" private schools. Yarborough was a place for the outcasts. It was a place for all those weird, nerdy emo guys who were picked last for dodgeball. Who had to wait all recess long for a turn on the swing that never came. Who had heard the phrase "Why don't yBeginning to a possible story by ~Tidal-Wave-17

Tropes 101

A Mary Sue RantYou know what I mean. Mary Sues. They are the bane of any fanfic writer in any fandom all over the world. And what bugs me is that no one seems to know how to define one and ends up making one due to being fed misinformation about what the hell it is anyway.
It is NOT simply someone who has cool hair.
It is NOT simply someone who has a cool name.
It is NOT simply someone who has a cool gadget, style, appearance, etc.
It is NOT simply someone who has a few canon friends, or knows some awesome skill, or has a tragic backstory.
AND IT IS MOST CERTAINLY NOT SIMPLY A TERM FOR A CHARACTER WITH SOME TRAIT YOU DON'T LIKE.
You'd be surprised how many Mary Sues qualify as such due to having a sheer lack of inherently good qualities. This happens because of that last thing on the list, where people who are supposedly defining what a Mary Sue is instead shoehorn stuff they just don't like onto their list of Sue-ish traits. This generally results in people trying to aA Mary Sue Rant by ~MsAmiClassified

Movie TrailersYou know how sometimes when you see a trailer for a movie, you know immediately that its just spoiled the entire movie? Its a bit annoying, but I got to thinking and realized that they were actually doing me a favor. See, the movies with this sort of trailer are almost always shitty movies that no one in their right mind would ever want to see. So they decided that having you waste your time and money watching that shitty movie, they'd give you all the funny lines, all the cool special effects, and the entire plot in about 15 minutes, free of charge. You didn't want to see the movie, and now you don't need to. Wasn't that nice of them?

EDIT: Thanks to ~Bisected8, ~64SuperNintendo, =ChimeraDragonfang for quick response! I haven't expected this, really. I've sent you invitations to Contributors, let me know if something goes wrong.
Three new admins should be enough for now

_{Hi Tropers!

As you probalby already figured out, we have a bit of an "admin problem". There is not much point in explaining - nobody who's currently on the group admin list has time to do the job properly.

That said, I would like to ask you for help. Anyone wants to become an admin?

The job is mostly checking if the incoming Gallery Submissions fit the Galleries they're being submitted to, although any additional activity would be welcome. It doesn't take much time or effort to do, but it needs to be done regularly (we're talking weeks here, not days).

If you would be willing to help, let me know in the comments!}

[link] I would like for a Transformers fan troper to read and judge this for the recs page.

~SeaofFallingStars May 12, 2013

Do you guys accept requests to read someone's fanfic and judge it for a TVTropes fanfic recs page?

=ChimeraDragonfang May 13, 2013

I don't think we have any formal setup for that kind of thing; not sure if anyone has ever made such a request before. I guess you could link it in a comment and see if anyone who stumbles across it is interested in reading it?

Or submit it to #Tropers with the request in the Artist's Comments?

~SeaofFallingStars May 13, 2013

Thanks. I've got several fics I'm working on, the top four being a Rosario+Vampire/Transformers story (on pause while I redo the first act in the first-person), an Azumanga Daioh/Transformers story (Yukari buys Tracks), the one I'm about the link, and Novelizing Fall of Cybertron with about eighty more characters.

Love the site, hate the Mods.

~Bisected8 Mar 21, 2013 Hobbyist Artisan Crafter

Gah! The site's down. I'm doomed to boredom! ;_;

~TheWildWestPyro Mar 21, 2013 Student Artist

Not if you cache the page.

~TheWildWestPyro Mar 20, 2013 Student Artist

I really love TV Tropes. Also, if any of you have heard of The Wall Will Fall ARG, please take a look at this if you have not.

Ah, so I spend some time running out the lock on the Life-Ruining Time Waster and I find a link to here!

Awesome.
