TV Tropes Game!

[rainbowmods]

Hear ye, hear ye! It's been quiet around here, so that says to us that it's time for a game.


Leave a comment on the post and I will leave you five random tropes from TV Tropes. Use two in a story and get five novelty beads. Of course, if you feel up to a challenge, you can use more than two. You'll get an extra novelty bead per trope used.

The game will run for a week, starting tomorrow, Monday, November 18th. You can get a new set of tropes after you've posted the first-- there's no limit to the number you can get except your own writing speed. You can also mulligan, but it's more fun if you give it a shot.

The RainbowFic mods are not liable for time lost to TV Tropes.



eta: Rules clarification.

If you get a trope that is racist, sexist, ableist, whatever, and don't want to use it, let me know and I will redraw one for you (since a mulligan would be an entirely new draw of five tropes). If a trope would be triggery for you, same thing goes. This should be fun, not painful or hurty, so please don't hesitate to ask!

[greenling]

Oh hey, through the 25th? Me please. I need another shot of inspiration...

[bookblather]

I am so sorry, I didn't see this in time, and that's completely on me. Can I make it up to you somehow?

[greenling]

Aw, thanks. :3

Sure! I'd be happy with a set now/when you have time, four days (which is what it looks like I posted in time for) to get novelty beads optional? Or if you'd rather and it's not any trouble, I'd be happy with another sort of random prompt game for everybody. Having these little games for inspiration really helps, even when I don't end up getting to it.

[bookblather]

Absolutely! Here is your set, and you'll have four days to post a story. If any of the tropes are triggery for you, or are ableist or sexist or racist or whatever, and you'd rather not use them, let me know, I'll redraw one, and your four day clock will start over. Sound good?

1) The Shill
2) One True Faith
3) Enemy Detecting Radar
4) Rule Number One
5) Shattered World

[greenling]

Works for me. Thanks!
