tardis_libraryTime for our new seasonal challenge here at tardis_library!
This time we'll be going a bit more random again, for the
TV Tropes Challenge
How do you take part? Simple - go to TV Tropes. To select your random tropes to work with click on the Random Trope button at the top of the screen. (It's a blue button left-of-centre that says "Random Trope" on it.) Randomize yourself 1-5 tropes. Post at least 5 fanworks that match (in some way) the 1-5 tropes you were given - and congratulations! Fame, glory, of bunch of excellent recs, and a shiny banner are all yours!
TV Tropes can throw up some very random things indeed, though, so don't worry! You have some leeway with this one. The ideal is to randomize 5 tropes and hopefully you will have at least 1 you can work with from that selection, but if TV Tropes isn't playing ball:
Don't forget you can interpret your tropes all as widely as you like with no need to be strict or literal about it. Plus, TV Tropes may well have some examples of Whoniverse uses that might help get you started.
Equally, allowing yourself a few free passes in the mix is fair enough! Try to keep to as few clicks of the random button as you can, but it's the time of year for being a bit laid back and flexible, and it's not like your mod can tell how many times you clicked it anyway. As long as you get 1-5 random tropes to play with, it's fine.
Post a comment here with links to the resulting 1-5 tropes you intend to use by way of signing up & also for your own reference.
Have fun - and good luck!
The challenge is open until Tues 22nd March 2021.
How to complete the challenge:
1. Select your randomized tropes from TV Tropes as above.
2. Post recs to the comm in the usual way. If you want to post all five (or more) in one post, you can! Just don't forget to use a cut. If you want to make multiple recs per trope (if doing more than one), that's fine.
(Posting templates & guidelines can be found in the Sticky Post.) Tag each post with other: seasonal challenge.
3. Challenge completed! If you want to carry on and rec for 1-5 more Tropes, simply repeat the process.
tardis_library apologises in advances for any particularly weird tropes or time lost during this challenge, but will not be held liable for either. ;-p

Date: 2021-12-20 10:14 pm (UTC)Skipping tropes that make me uncomfortable for one reason or another, and tropes that were primarily visual (I feel like reccing fic at the moment), I got:
Technophobia
Decoy Getaway
There Are Two Kinds of People in the World
Sapient Steed
Owls Ask "Who?" (teehee!)
I think half the fun here is going to be making the case for why the rec fits the trope!
