Before making a single edit, Tropedia EXPECTS our site policy and manual of style to be followed. Failure to do so may result in deletion of contributions and blocks of users who refuse to learn to do so. Our policies can be reviewed here.
All images MUST now have proper attribution, those who neglect to assign at least the "fair use" licensing to an image may have it deleted. All new pages should use the preloadable templates feature on the edit page to add the appropriate basic page markup. Pages that don't do this will be subject to deletion, with or without explanation.
All new trope pages will be made with the "Trope Workshop" found on the "Troper Tools" menu and worked on until they have at least three examples. The Trope workshop specific templates can then be removed and it will be regarded as a regular trope page after being moved to the Main namespace. THIS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW, REPORT ANY ISSUES TO Janna2000, SelfCloak or RRabbit42. DON'T MAKE PAGES MANUALLY UNLESS A TEMPLATE IS BROKEN, AND REPORT IT THAT IS THE CASE. PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP.
Network Decay: In Iron Angel, the established cast get to do exactly nothing - Dill is sent to Hell, where he spends most of the book running away, fails, and then the villains do exactly what they wanted in the first place, Carnival comes back to join the heroes for apparent reason, only to face a Curb Stomp Battle against John Anchor, and Rachel's prior badassery and determination go out the window as she becomes a purely passive observer in events, complete with a new angsty, female, incredibly pale, not-as-inhuman-as-she-would-like protagonist to actually take her place. What? It might have been a decent novel in its own right had it focused on a new setting and new characters, but Iron Angel wastes a full third of its page count on making you watch the characters you were invested in do exactly nothing.
