throughaphaseSo the last BDE threw some trauma at our kids, and now there are new characters since then, so why don't we lighten things up again? That's right, it's time for...
!!!!!!! TROPES WEEKEND !!!!!!!
Next Friday, September 20, alumni and ex-pats will be able to come to town for an event on Saturday... by mistake. There is no event. Oops! But you might as well stay now, and from September 21-22, Fandom will be all tropes, all the time. It'll work like other theme weekends of the past: anyone on island can be affected by tropes from fanfic/movies/books/TV that they probably would never have to deal with in their (fictional) real lives. Do you want your character and someone else's character to go undercover as a married couple? Want to bet with another character on whether you can make a(n already hot) girl hot by simply taking off her glasses? Now's your chance! Are you having conflict with another character and want to be literally locked in a closet with them instead of just mentioning in email that you should totally lock them in a closet together sometime? Not that I have ever done that! Do you want random amnesia due to a bump on the head that can only be cured by another bump on the head? Oh boy, do you ever!
Here are the rules:
( cut to save the flist but you should still read this )
If you need inspiration, you can get lost reading about fanfic tropes, or maybe romcom tropes, action tropes, fantasy tropes, soap opera tropes, or random overused tropes, etc. etc. etc.
