Probably the most addicting Wiki of the internet, it already has consumed much of my brain and time. Contains pretty much every trope imaginable, such as The Omniscient Council of Vagueness (One of my favorite titles; there are many more). A guide to most every device in fiction. Except-- I haven't found this one yet, and I'm not sure if it exists-- the Token Female trope, where by the inclusion of one female in a group/council/elite/school, the group/council/elite/school is suddenly feminist and very equal minded. Anyone know what I'm talking about here?

TV Tropes has completely ruined my life. And I wouldn't have it any other way. That is all. @zylaa: Not exactly, but they do have the more general Token Minority entry, which specifically mentions gender as one of the subtypes.

TV Tropes is one of those sites that eats you alive and refuses to let go, yes. XD
I'm so addicted, honestly, that I don't only use trope names in conversation, but I also sometimes wish I could link (verbal) phrases to trope pages. Or footnote them or something. XDDDD;;; How pathetic is that?

Muahahaha...TV Tropes is my secret weapon my crack, heroin and every other drug under the sun. I cannot watch a show without seeing all the tropes and heck, I see tropes in my own stories. Also, about 90% of my knowledge of pop culture comes from TV Tropes. I also make mental links soElcie, you aren't alone there.
It is truly everyone's Kryptonite. *throws genre-savviness into the mix*

Wow, Elcie. XDD
I never got up to 45 at once, but... well, here's a conversation I had with Lulu today:
Lulu: Zylaa? Zylaa: No. This is an evil demon who has taken over Zylaa's computer with the power of TV tropes. Hello. Lulu: DDDD: NO, POOR ZYLAA. Zylaa: She was helpless against the addictiveness of TV Tropes. I would be sad, but I am an evil demon and therefore never feel emotion. Except EVIL emotion.
