I followed a link in my
del.icio.us network this morning and ended up on the
TvTropes.org wiki
exploring
They Wasted A Perfectly Good Plot which lead to all sorts of good fun. I’ve been visiting
TvTropes.org for a while now, having found their
plot and
narratology related entries quite useful. What I haven’t been doing is looking at TvTropes from opposite perspective. Starting with
Jeeves and Wooster, which lists the tropes (among others) [Accidental Engagement], [The Jeeves], and [Upper Class Twit]. I went on from their to explore some of my favorite
web comic (
Girl Genius and
Schlock Mercenary), TV (
The Venture Brothers and
Alias), movies (
Blade Runner and
Die Hard), and
SF (
Amber series,
Doc Savage,
Lensman series,
Perry Rhodan series Snow Crash, and the
Uplift series). So, check out
TvTropes.org. Try looking up one your favorites and read about all the tropes that other people see in those favorites.
My wiki version of this is here.
