General Interest
TV Tropes Wiki
A wiki describing various narrative devices or patterns in fiction, with both
descriptions of these "tropes" and also pages for a particular work, listing the
tropes it exemplifies. Written in a light and humorous style, and is a lot
of fun. WARNING! May eat up inordinate amounts of free time, and cause you to
start
hanging lampshades on everything.
