Calling All Tropers

Whit's wiping down the counter, Connie's mopping the floor, and the kids are sipping on their milkshakes. If you want to talk about Adventures in Odyssey the radio drama, this is the spot to do just that!

Calling All Tropers

Post by TigerintheShadows »

As some of you may be aware, the website TV Tropes is a wiki-esque website that catalogues various devices (or "tropes", hence the name) used to tell a story or to flesh out characters. Pages for works begin with a short description of the work followed by a list of tropes that apply to it, with explanations after each trope for why it applies. Some works also include YMMV (Your Mileage May Vary) pages for cataloguing subjective tropes, as well as various commentary pages, such as the Crowning Moment of Awesome/Funny/Heartwarming pages for describing the most awesome, funny, or heartwarming moments; the Tear Jerker page for the most upsetting or joyous moments; the Nightmare Fuel page for the scariest moments; and the Character Sheets for cataloguing the characters and describing the devices that apply to them. The last of these is why I've created this thread.

I'm trying to create character sheets for the Adventures in Odyssey page, and given that AIO has vast amounts of major and minor characters, I've found it to be a rather daunting task. For those of you familiar with the format, I'd really love some help for suggestions of tropes that apply for which characters; if you're interested, you can either respond to this thread or PM me. I'm aware that this is a bit of an odd request, and I would like to forewarn the younger members of the board that the site's informality often leads to profane language and sexual references in some entries (even in trope titles), but I'd like to add to the page, as both a trope enthusiast and an AIO fan, so if you're interested, please let me know. :)
