Site Slump: TV Tropes

Hey i'm slump
I'm not so slump
And this is Site Slump!

Welcome to my very first Site Slump where I, put the Slump in Sites. Today, I am reviewing TV Tropes. This is a favorite of mine and I do not edit it so it fits all of the qualifications. Meet TV Tropes.

You evil website

Community

TV Trope benefits from a good community, one thing many sites do not have. Most editors list good examples and are funny, and usually enforce There is no Such Thing as Notability.


Okay, just kidding.
However, sometimes there are the templates that request a rewrite or say that there is something wrong with the page. However, this is much less common then other websites.

 Overall, the community gets a 10/10

Content

The content could have various ratings depending on how you look at it. However, from my standpoint I would give it a high score. Why? It's funny. It has obscure examples, it has stuff from even very recent games or media. One article documented the inappropriate stuff on the Nickelodeon (crap) show Sam and Cat just from a trailer.

The content is golden, and it gets my 10/10.

Pictures

Most entries have funny, entertaining, and educational  pictures. However, some don't and some have stupid unfunny and sometimes confusing pictures. It's just a nitpicking thing but still, it good benefit from some new pictures.

The content is mainly good and gets my 7/10

Conclusion

That was my review of TV Tropes! Tell me if you liked it and the segment and also what you want the next review to be about. I'm Joe, and that was Site Slump.

Just cross out some things and remove 75% of the content

Blog & Wario: Cease and Desist Letter, Pt. 1: The Company

To start off my first B&W since I started the blog expansion, I am telling you something shocking.




This is a two-parter.


The only thing scarier then that movie.



I am talking about something that has split us up. The companies and their best and biggest fans. What could it be? The cease and desist letter! When the company shuts dwn a fan work for whatever reason. However, some of the horrifying wrong creations cause this. So, today I am talking about when it is the fault of the company.


I've seen some great stuff go because companies are always like "MEH". Fan fiction(and works in general) falls under fair use, right? Some people disagree. If it's a fanfic, you're stealing my stuff, some may say. In quality works it's fine for people to use your stuff.

Here's a quote:

 "to write fiction using my characters is morally identical to moving into my house without invitation and throwing out my family."-Orson Card

Oval face is exactly right.
He has since changed his stance on fanfics, but a famous author we all know sure hasn't. George R.R. Martin, creator of "A Song of Fire and Ice" is against fanfics, thinking it is copyright infringement and a bad exercise for aspiring writers. Some people write for fun, and fair use is in mind. Companies need to realize that it's harmless fun.

Or is it?

Insert DUN-DUN-DUN here.
