Tropedia

  • 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.

Legend has it that there are other sites besides this Wiki. This page lists the details of this absurd idea.

The difference between a site and a Web page isn't always clear. Being the main page of a domain name seems like a rule of thumb, but even domains can be part of a larger site. It's probably better to discuss on a case-by-case basis.

Many media have their own websites as well.

Sites that have their own pages here:


Sites without their own pages:

New Media under discussion and under way:

  • ifwiki
  • The Forge
  • Jump The Shark has every TV series you've ever heard of (and ones you were sure you just dreamed about.)
    • Not since it itself Jumped the Shark and got bought out and turned into something else entirely....
  • Borindom music a blog written by a musician who is involved in the cloud music business. Not only does he analyze mainstream and indie music but pop culture in general.

Writer's Guides

  • Jeffery Carver's Writing Science Fiction and Fantasy online course.

Blogs
What blogs get included here? Blogs of a troper nature of course, analysis of media etc. but basically anything that you think we would like. Include a brief blurb about the website and which areas of the wiki it is relevant to.

  • Nancy Friedman -- Marvellously written blog entry, from someone who actually gets us.
  • http://www.minaidehazukashii.com/ -- Anime Blog that has been referenced multiple times around the wiki. The writer inserts trope talk into a lot of his entries.
  • RIUVA -- Another anime blog rich with entries about anime and otaku culture analysis.
  • The Watchtower Of Destruction -- The blog of "The Ferret", a writer and Web Comic author who provides interesting and informative musings, many of which are troper related material (Mostly television, sci-fi and writing). It is also one of the best webcomic review sites since Websnark cut back its operations.
  • Musings Of The Chatty DM - A Tabletop Games blog operated by a troper, brings tropes from all over the catalogue and looks at how they affect Role Playing Games. Well worth a read (His "Trope" and "Rule of Cool" tags are useful for seeing topics related to our interests).
  • Polite Dissent -- written by a doctor, this includes medical reviews of various media of interest to him (episode reviews of House are a regular feature). Good writing and the commenters are of above-average intelligence and literacy for blog commenters, based on their writing.
  • The Writer's Pad is a blog by an out of work small-time reporter. It features quite a few rants, some snarky pictures (a la Cracked style captioning) and curse words.
  • It Seemed Like a Good Idea at the Time is a blog written by One of Us. Tropes (including the one that shares its name with the blog) are periodically referenced in the posts, and a permanent link to the site can be found on the links page, along with a warning that TV Tropes Will Ruin Your Life. The posts meander over internet culture, video games, movies, charity promotion, and weird stories from the writer's actual daily life.
  • Tricia's Obligatory Art Blog is always a fun read. It's full of well researched paleontology diatribes, Disney movie reviews, and gardening. And she is One of Us, and frequently links here, which is neat.
