TV Tropes

A bastion of useless knowledge which, once you've been ensnared, is impossible to escape from--and you'll love it! Cataloguing effectively every story-telling trope imaginable this site will keep you amused and filled with trivia for countless hours, days even, ever time you so much as visit it.

It puts form to thoughts I did know I had.

Such an interesting website. Went through and looked at a few of the Characterisation articles and I love all the examples of different works that were provided. I hope to be able to dig deeper into this site in my spare time.

Absurdly addictive. I mean really ridiculously addictive. Whenever I open a tab, I end up with about 30 more open by the end of the day.

Pros: Fun, funny and a great resource for those who like to know and understand the intrincacies of theme/plot development.

Cons: It will steal your soul.

TV Tropes is absolutely indispensable for writers and game designers who understand that much of creation involves new spins to old themes.

Now DON'T go browsing TvTropes if you want to do something productive with your day, because you will spend 5 hours of your time on this site.

While fun and funny, TV Tropes is a stealthy source of research info. Whether you're a writer trying to break down a popular genre or a fan trying to pin point why you love a certain movie so much, TVT has all the answers with a fun, friendly, and snarky tone about it.

This site will make you into a genre ninja. Also it will steal your soul, yes.

Amazingly funny :)
Cons: As everyone else has said, it will steal your soul, and also may ruin your vocabulary in the process...

Very entertaining. Gives you names for things you noticed and lets you know you aren't alone in your observations.
Cons: You may end up accidentally using the terms you learn there and that may offend some people (though they aren't profane).

Very keen and witty analysis of just about every type of media in existence. You start to see these tropes in real life too.
Cons: As the other reviewer said, it will steal your soul.

TV Tropes contains just about every trope you can imagine, and a lot you didn't know.
Cons: You won't see the outside world for awhile.
