Before making a single edit, Tropedia EXPECTS our site policy and manual of style to be followed. Failure to do so may result in deletion of contributions and blocks of users who refuse to learn to do so. Our policies can be reviewed here.
All images MUST now have proper attribution, those who neglect to assign at least the "fair use" licensing to an image may have it deleted. All new pages should use the preloadable templates feature on the edit page to add the appropriate basic page markup. Pages that don't do this will be subject to deletion, with or without explanation.
All new trope pages will be made with the "Trope Workshop" found on the "Troper Tools" menu and worked on until they have at least three examples. The Trope workshop specific templates can then be removed and it will be regarded as a regular trope page after being moved to the Main namespace. THIS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW, REPORT ANY ISSUES TO Janna2000, SelfCloak or RRabbit42. DON'T MAKE PAGES MANUALLY UNLESS A TEMPLATE IS BROKEN, AND REPORT IT THAT IS THE CASE. PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP.
Rescued From the Scrappy Heap: New!Roz was a lot better received than her Scrappy Shortpacked counterpart. Unfortunately, New!Robin seems to have taken her place on the heap.
The Scrappy: New!Joyce. Dear god, New!Joyce. The plan was to have them all have the character development, minus the alien abduction. What we have instead is a Joyce that is a Christian fundamentalist, with the added bonus of being very intolerant and completely ignorant as well. Her stated goal for being at school is just to find a husband and quit. She finds a Jewish man and her immediate goal is to convert him to Christianity. A friend reveals that she's an Athiest and she has a panic attack. She goes on a date, only to pay another man to come along and beat up the guy if he "steps out of line." When called out on a Christian attacking someone, she says it's fine, cause girls can't hurt guys. Fortunately, like Billie, the running theme seems to be Break the Haughty with her.
Then again, that arguably still makes her better than how the original Joyce was at the start. Only time will tell how her Character Development will go.
She's currently in second place in the site's "Favorite DoA undergrad character, First Anniversary Edition" poll, with 12% of the votes. So this is an extra YMMV.
Sarah is another character that tends to inspire hatred in the comments, thanks to how viciously antisocial she is.
