Update:

Hello, everyone. It’s been years since I’ve touched this blog, and I assumed I should give everyone an update as to what’s been going on.

Are you dead?

A lot of people have sent asks about this but, no, I’m not dead. I even had someone ask if I was murdered at Pulse Nightclub, and I briefly wondered if that was a microaggression but it was nice that people were concerned about me, I guess. I’ve also had a fair few people thankful that I might be dead but that’s the internet for you.

The reason I stopped posting on this blog was kinda simple: I really had no reason to. When I became an adult-adult and not just a college-adult I realized that I had better things to do than field questions and make snarky jokes about a website that isn’t worth the time of anyone over the age of 21. I made the mistake of thinking that TVTropes wanted to be about actual media analysis and not just a website where they collected screenshots of Rugrats panty shots and pretended Gurren Lagann was deep. While I had a lot of fun with this blog over the years, TVTropes eventually just became a non-entity to me.

What have you been up to?

Quite frankly I’m living my dream. My biggest goal in life was to be a novelist. After years of work, I’ve finally gotten a literary agent who will be representing my YA novel series and I’m getting close to officially being a published author. I’m working through some final edits of my debut novel before my agent and I start working on finding publishers who will be able to get my book in stores and hopefully start a long and fruitful career.

I’m not going to say the title of my novel (or my real name for that matter) because I don’t necessarily need the baggage of this online persona to follow me into my professional life. I’m going through my social media accounts right now and editing or outright deleting everything necessary. Obviously, my old DeviantART account is fucking gone and I’ve removed most of the shirtless pics of me on my Instagram. This side-blog will probably be deleted within the next few months–and tbh my main blog might be too, depending on how thoroughly I can edit 7 years worth of shit.

What next?

I’m keeping FuckNoTVTropes up for a little bit longer just in case anyone wants to screenshot their favorite old posts. Don’t bother reblogging any because this site’s gonna go the way of MySpace in like a month anyway.



Eventually, my novel will be published and anyone who followed this blog and coincidentally reads the book might realize that the blog and the book were written by the same person. It’s far more likely that no one will find out the connection. Not to get philosophical, but that’s the way of the internet. You meet people, they log off, and you have no way of knowing what happens to them. Buuut maybe someone, somewhere will be able to piece the puzzle together about my true identity and if that happens I’ll say “…There was probably something better you coulda been doing with your time.”

Love,
