Oh look, I only have one music-related icon

I fell into the bottomless pit that is TV Tropes again yesterday afternoon, and came across this and... well, it made my entire day. Apparently there are a (very small) handful of m15m mentions sprinkled across the site--probably because pointing out abused/overused tropes is a large part of what I do in the parody things. It still makes me giggle

It's like that videotape from The Ring, man. The only way to get out is to drag someone else in.

(Someone linked me to their Twilight page the other week and I didn't climb back out for four hours. This time I needed something for the annotations, which was almost worse because I was *supposed* to be working.)

The only way to get out is to drag someone else in.

This is made funnier by the fact that I totally have several TV Trope links that I plan to post at lunch today. Heh.

BTW, with the several times you've been linked/referenced there, is there a Cleo page? I don't think I saw one (but I'm AFRAID TO REENTER THE PAGE now.)

[cleolinda]

Oh, I can't imagine I'd be important enough to have one. I or something I've written is mentioned maybe five times total in that whole massive thing.

Well I think we need a collection! Send me the links? :)

(Hey, even some of the editors have their own links. And also, it's mostly because *I* want to be able to click-and-find.)

And also, generally anyone who is a "Trope Namer" (i.e. it started with their work) has links.

I'm afraid to go back in--offhand, it's like, "The Littlest Cancer Patient," mentions under "Like You Would Really Do It," "The Woobie," "Do Not Go Gentle into that Good Night." I remember the other two because it was like, what random places to get mentioned.

It had to be done. *g*

May fancy it up a bit more later. I am still learning the editing process there (I blame Discworld and Deadpool for getting my started editing there - there was a great Vimes example no one had cited yet in Unstoppable Rage, and Deadpool wasn't getting the respect he deserves in Dual Wielding and Katanas Are Just Better. Heh.

HURRY SEND A LINK TO SOMEONE ELSE, THAT'S HOW YOU GET OUT, IT'S LIKE "THE RING"

I KNOW IT'S DANGEROUS!

Also? Like, 5 minutes after I made the page, someone else added stuff to it. Crazy!
