I like reading the CMOA/CMOF/Tear Jerker/CMOH too. The CMOF's are especially fun. XD

It's sad that many of my favorite series don't have a Fanfic Recs page. D:
This! I love when a series has a CMOF, but I am sad when I go to a series thinking "This has to have a CMOF!" And then it doesn't. ;-;

Alright! New topic of the week! No I haven't been planning this allllll week. >__>

One of the things I'm sure we all love is the titles of all the various tropes. Some of them are unique and funny, some of them are straightforward and helpful.

Did you know, however, that TvTropes has seen two factions form? The Society to Prevent Overly Original Names prefers the simplistic, helpful, precise titles that help users easily identify the tropes.

Then there are the Friends of Really Kool Sobriquet who prefer the witty, humorous, entertaining names that make Wiki Walking so fun.

So the topic this week is...

Which one are you? A FoRK or a SPOON?

CMOF :D I laughed hysterically all through the Discworld one, even though I had read them many times before in the books they came from. :3

I identify with FoRKS for the most part, I suppose. I like the witty entertainment that comes with those kinds of titles.

...I've done my fair share of Trope-trotting...and I'm a Spork. :p

Both sides have valid points, I love funny trope names, but I hate confusing ones that reference obscure pop culture. Seriously, I don't care how cool it is...it should at least be funny to even the most sheltered of us. ;)

But yeah...I don't take a side really. Both need to exist for TVTropes to retain it's awesomeness...as long as neither side wins, I'm happy.

Spork here too. :3 For pretty much the same reasons as the ones listed above.

It seems like most people are choosing to be Sporks...XD It turns out that there is actually an official term for this on TvTropes: PLATTER So sorry, you are all PLATTERs instead of Sporks. ;-;

And so I would identify as a PLATTER, but probably lean towards FoRK. I love wit. XD

And Merciless Cremator, you are accepted and the Badass trope is yours! :D Welcome to the club!

Tropes Appreciation Society? Joining this so hard.

I'll take Mad Mathemetician! Any category that includes both N and Pi-Face is my favorite category.

First off, try Tips for Editing, and some of the other pages that it links to- Good Style, Wiki Words, Text Formatting Rules and so on. The basic process of editing is making an account and clicking the "edit" button at the bottom of a page.

Oho, thank you. It's the Text Formatting I always have issues with, so that helps. ^_^

Umm... I don't read it regularly. But when I click a link to there, or go to look something up, it takes up the majority of the time I spend on the computer for days.

tbh, I don't Wiki Walk much anymore. When I first discovered the site, my computer time consisted of absorbing tropes for the first 3ish weeks, complete with tab explosions. Now I can go in, read a couple pages, know what they're talking about and leave. However, it seems that things have been changing some since I did that, and my trope-binging is slowly revving back up.

And surely that's a trope in itself. YKTTW somebody discovers something new, goes overboard, and slowly returns to normalcy after weeks of isolation? I HAVE IT. xP
